I hear they are going to take his winter fuel payment off him next.
Now that I can’t believe!I hear they are going to take his winter fuel payment off him next.

Kind of curious how Epstein got his money. If he was funded by Russians or Chinese to gain influence/leverage over the powerful that'd be a fun conspiracy theory![]()
Andrew Windsor Mountbatten is an absolute parasite on this nation. He can deny what he likes, but he's getting his just desserts right now. Not that being banished to a private estate in Sandringham is exactly a punishment.
Scumbag
If a reasonable alternative...some sort of figurehead President (like the Irish) and an elected 2nd chamber was put to the electorate, I would definitely vote for it.
Andrew being a p aedophile in itself does not mean we should abolish all the Saxe-Goberg Gotha's outright. Without knowing what would replace them.
I don't think we need to do anything tbh.
Abolishing their role wouldn't take away their money, land rental income etc.
So we may as well use them to maintain the pretence, which brings in tourist cash ...
... they're gradually making themselves redundant in any case.
A very small royal family at the very least.I agree.
Electing a "Presudent" every 4 years along with costs of maintaining the "office" would likely cost just as much and we would have to put up with even more useless political claptrap.
As someone famous one said, its not the power that Royaly hold, rather the power they deny to others.
I'm quite happy to bumble along with a smaller Royal family with little more than ceremonial duties.
A Monarch and no more.A very small royal family at the very least.
However, listening to the royal police officer there are 100 to 120 officers protecting each royal and then there are all the palaces and homes they own that need protection when they are not living there. The costs must be phenomenal. I’d rather spend that money on teachers, nurses and doctors.

I’m not normally a conspiracy theorist, in fact I take the piss, but strange how much press he’s got over last ten days, with, let’s be honest nothing startlingly new alleged, but it has served to get Rachel from accounts off the front pages, both her landlord activities and the upcoming budget of doom.
personally I think he’s a liability to the royal family, him and fergie always have been, if the royals were all like them I’d be all for abolishing them, but they’re not. He needs to scuttle off and not be heard of again, but given he’s been convicted of nothing at all, I assume in a couple of years he’ll appear again at some function or other.

The arsehole formerly known as Prince Andrew
- got everything he deserved.
Glad to see he's leaving Berkshire![]()
