Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested

[CatRyan]

Hope you are proud of yourself. Cheering on a family that protected a nonce. Poor lass who ended up topping herself. Shame on you.

You are being ridiculous.

You don't even need to use such a patently silly arguement to argue against a monarchy.

Anyway... now that America has had time to react to the arrest they are impressed with Britain and wishing their govt / police were doing the same. It does bring pressure.

Would be a hell of an epitaph mind-

"He was spread over four counties when he was fired from the Royal cannons..."

Are you not a Labour voter? Your man Mandleson is just as bad, you need to stop voting for nonces.

Yes and the argument against the monarchy is a very good argument and one I hold dear to my heart. Reducing an extremely sound argument to the piss poor nonsense you are posting is silly.

 

[Why Gary Why]

In the UK you are arrested on suspicion of committing a crime, interviewed and evidence submitted to the CPS . They then decide wether or not to charge

It's the police who charge you, not the cps.

Hold on. What nonsense am i posting? Stop brushing stuff under the carpet

Not brushing stuff under the carpet, I'm saying your argument against a monarchy is the one truly wrong act of one monarch in an otherwise magnificent reign and that is not an argument against the monarchy. That is an argument against you having any sensible rationale.

It's the police who charge you, not the cps.

True, but it is the CPS that say what they need for a charge to be successful in Court and the CPS may lower a charge or drop it entirely right?

One monarch? How about queenie paying his victim off? How about charles paying his victim off? How about charles giving him 150,000 a year? Why are you ignoring these things?

I may have expressed it badly on account of having had a few drinks. Clearly he has done wrong, but my point is many people will have known that he’s done wrong for years, and they’ve been quite happy to tolerate it as long as it didn’t create a public fuss.

What’s happened to Andrew over the last few years is that he’s been publicly outed so they have no option other than to act. His financial corruption and his likely sexual corruption will have been well known for a long, long time. The response now isn’t about justice, it’s about damage limitation.

Of course this is the case, his path will have been planned out for months/years, firstly pay the hush money then strip him of his royalty then arrest him, with periods in between to let it "die down" a bit. What happens subsequently is already decided.

I'm not ignoring it, I'm agreeing with that, I'm saying that is not an argument against having a monarchy unless you're a total clown shoe. I don't even agree with a monarchy. You are putting forward quite possibly the weakest most useless argument available. Crack on with it if you insist but don't expect to be taken as anything other than mild entertainment.

Can you explain why its a weak argument? Its vile that these monsters paid to keep the paedo prince out of prison? You agree?

I'd say there is a lot of bargaining going on right now to determine possible outcomes...

Because your argument is that until extremely recently having a monarchy was just splendid which is a moronic argument against having a monarchy. The actual sensible argument against monarchy is one that is as true now as it was hundreds of years ago.

That's what I said. CPS tell the police wether they can charge or not then police either charge or release.

Where have i said its splendid? What a silly argument based on lies. I have always been anti monarchy,but this should be the final nail in the coffin. Hopefully you cap doffers finally turn against them.

I'd say this is more to do with the timing than anything else.

Convicting a man of rape, even with all the evidence and testimony is about as likely as curbing Fergie's spending. It is incredibly difficult with the current system to charge let alone convict on sex crimes.... so with the release of the Epstein files more evidence has come to support the Private Eye editorials passim that Mountbatten was taking money from Epstein... the files provide evidence that it was in exchange in part for confidential information and access.
I would very much hope that this is the approach and is actively seen as a foundation working towards seeing some sort of retribution for the crimes against girls and women but as ever... the odds are very much against any sort of conviction for that crime.

Once the police have charged you and determined the charge is too serious to be dealt with by themselves, it's handed over to the CPS. At that point you are correct in saying the CPS will determine whether they believe there is enough evidence to secure a conviction or not. You are also correct saying it might be the case that the CPS might accept a guilty plea for a lesser offence in order to secure a conviction and avoid a trail.
