The Duke of York

[Nige F]

One had 10,000 men ; One allegedly did something recently . Which one gets all the stick ? And still the lemmings subscribe to the so called NEWS papers

A person is innocent until proven guilty. These allegations were revealed in court, which allowed the accuser to avoid a libel action, hence they did not need to present any proof. I can't say I like the Royals as an institution, but they deserve fair treatment.

What the PoY is guilty of is associating with a convicted felon, which was never going to be a good idea.

It seems that because Buck House has denied any wrong-doing that might be the end of it unless someone makes a complaint. If someone does make a complaint against him, it will be interesting to see how it is handled by the police and the courts. I suspect it will be a bit like how they handled Blair over his war crimes or how they handled the government ministers over the child sex allegations.

I believe he's innocent.. After all , we know it was really Margaret Thatcher who f***ed the miners.

Not wishing to advocate paedophilia or suggest the DoY's guilt, but if you were married to that red-headed 'beauty' wouldn't you be looking elsewhere?

 

[Micilin]

I thought that being a philandering letch who squandered money was part of the job description for royal males through the ages?

 

[JBR]

Yes, I believe there's nothing new there! Historically, most princes and kings have had a wife (or two) along with several pieces on the side and, of course, I'm sure it continues today.

I'm not unhappy with Royals being letches, but paedophiles - no.

 

[EFLImpudence]

In the articles I've seen it states the accuser was seventeen at the time.

 

[JBR]

I read in The Telegraph this morning that this gold digger has been accused of being a serial liar.

When it all comes out (if it does), and if she turns out to have been making false accusations, I hope they throw the book at her.

Yes, same here. I was being flippant but I just want to make clear I wasn't making light of any under age sex or abuse of any kind.

 

[EFLImpudence]

I have no time for these people but -

having sex with a seventeen year old is not paedophilia.
