It's not over --- they need to find that girlfriend of Epstein ---- Ghislaine Maxwell --- who manipulated these young females into Epstein's grasp.They didn't know what they were getting into. Ghislaine is as guilty as Rapist Epstein.

What sickens me is that so many people knew what was going on with Epstein for over 30 years - and no one spoke up. If they did, no one followed up.

The exact same story with Harvey Weinstein.

According to the NY Post, Andrew's family is having trouble finding people to come to his birthday party this Wednesday.  Well, I don't feel sorry for him. From the NY Post article:

 

"Prince Andrew’s family is scrambling to send last-minute invites to his 60th birthday on Wednesday — because he is being “shunned” by so many former friends, according to a report. [Andrew]  is celebrating hitting the milestone age Wednesday with a private dinner at Royal Lodge, the Windsor residence he shares with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

... [His family is] struggling to even fill the smaller party [than the one originally planned]  because so many people are saying they are “unavailable,” ...

To save embarrassment, last-minute invites are being sent to “second-tier guests” to make up the numbers, ...which says it highlights Andrew’s “dizzying fall from grace.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are believed to be among those who have snubbed the party, and are instead sending a gift and a video message to be played there,"


Good practice for him. Former friends won't visit him in prison either.

Within the past couple of weeks, I saw that Andrew, Fergie, Beatrice, and her fiance attended a Chinese Ambassador's Chinese New Year celebration, and Andrew shared with them a message from the queen about the coronovirus outbreak.  I'm surprised the queen would allow him to appear in that capacity after all that's happened in recent months.

Even when Epstein got "caught" the first time around, all he got was a slap on the paws and week-ends sitting in a cell because strings (if not ropes) were pulled for him.  When he got out, he and his "friends" picked up right where they left off.  I'd love to have that little black book listing his friends.  It would look like what happens when one turns on the light in a room and sees roaches scattering.

@DottieBlue Read or don't read whatever you want, but much of what I read in the NY Post is accurate.

@wildcat fan   Did not hear about the Chinese celebrations but he has always been the Queen’s favourite and the usual RF way is to start including and gently ushering back in the ‘problem’ person to dinners, events, etc. with the Qyeen’s backing. 

 

I am waiting to see if he appears at the annual Trooping of the Colour in June as this is generally a major family event.

@dulwich The news articles about Andrew's recent attendance at a Chinese New Year event mostly referred to Twitter posts by Chinese Ambassador Liu Xiaoming if you want to take a look at his tweets from February 7.

Over the generations, the royal family were not exactly known for their brilliance. Prince Edward VIII was bearly literate. His father was a notorious womanizer, spending his mother's reign in going from one house party to another. 

 

 


@Vivian- Edward VIII's father was George V, who was a popular and respected monarch. He was not a womanizer, so I think you may have your history mixed up.

 

Edward VIII abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson, but he was certainly not "bearly (sic) literate".   There are plenty of books on the history of the English monarchy that make interesting reading.

 

Here's a link about George V.  It's a disservice to call him a "notorious womanizer", when he was anything but.

Hard to believe some women are to be believed just because they are women. No need for proof, facts or a trial. Just female body parts are enough. I am dying here. A poster actually said she needs to believed because there are no witnesses during rape. Yeah but there is dna and reporting it right away for a police record. Unbelievable. It's 2020 and some are living in the dark ages.


 

@Nancy Drew 

 

Well, you certainly don't have an open mind .... yikes.  Certainly you must realize that a HUGE number of rapes don't ever ger reported because the victim is too emotionally devastated.  That's a well known FACT and statistic.  And, of course, rapists don't always leave DNA if they use a condom.  How about a little common sense here?
