Really here in the US if any of this ever gets prosecuted we might end up RICOing the lot of 'em.

That is Trump’s biggest concern, losing the wealth?
He can just declare sex scandal as unreal.
Ever since they got Capone.

And I bet he didn't get thrown in the back of a paddy wagon.
Trying to assemble a violin from raw gluons. The damned thing have no musical sense. But that's OK, neither do I.

Both.
Admittedly swift action over the Epstein business is the only way to save the British monarchy at this point in time. Anything Epstein is radioactive kryptonite to the King, and the monarchy was already in big trouble as the halo of deference conferred by his late mother's longevity dissipated. (*She* was a national institution and symbol of unity: he's just a stuffy old billionaire in a fancy hat.)

Look, give him another sixty years and he'll be an equally hallowed institution.
... and a serious concern to those wondering how he's still going.

in reply to Charlie Stross • • •he wasn't arrested for pedophilia, though (and to shield myself from draconian English libel laws designed to shelter aristocrats from accountability, something he denies).
He was arrested for misconduct in office, i.e. leaking confidential government information to Epstein for insider trading purposes.
I am not so sure about the peril for the monarchy. Don't underestimate the resistance to change of the English. Even the Australians have not ditched Charles as head of state despite his direct involvement in the coup against the democratically elected prime minister in 1975 (his mother was also involved, but too canny to leave a paper trail, unlike dimwit Charles).

in reply to Charlie Stross • • •I really dislike the way the BBC keep calling him "Andrew". We are not on a first name basis. He's a shit. Don't make him familiar, call him by his full or last name.
It's one of the bad British things, assuming everyone is familiar and to some degree sympathetic to the royal family.

I bet Charlie is thinking thank god he got him out of his circle when he did.
So ironic Fergie is in the files too.
Lets see how UK justice system works on this, the Judge will have some dinner stories after this.

in reply to Charlie Stross • • •Charles might want to follow the example of Philippe II of Orléans, regent of France during Louis XV's minority.
When one of his cousins, Count Antoine-Joseph of Hornes, a wastrel with gambling debts, was arrested for robbery and murder, the regent had him condemned to a commoner's execution by breaking on the wheel (as opposed to beheading), despite pleas for clemency or at least a less shameful death by the aristocracy. He is said to have uttered (probably apocryphally) "when I have bad blood, I have it drawn by a leech".
