AFAIK the former prince Andrew was arrested in relation to national secrets he was giving to Epstein, not because of the pedo stuff.

Was it the bare minimum? Yeah, pretty much. But they aren't even doing that in the US. The bar is extremely low yet the US is still managing to walk underneath it without even needing to crouch down.

But they aren't even doing that in the US.

To be fair trump was arrested and I think part of his rap sheet was mishandling classified information. It's hard to remember all his scandals because they come at you like a firehouse but they did raid mar a lago and found documents in his bathroom.

Still no jail time for it, but I doubt Andrews gonna do time either...

Andy was arrested and immediately released. Trump was arrested and immediately released. What are the brits doing different?

It's all a show, our prime minister recently stated that no one is above the law, so they had to at least arrest some people. Obviously they won't face any consequences, Mandelson for example was arrested at his house at 5pm on a Monday afternoon.

If this was a real arrest, it would have been front door smashed in at 5am. The fact that it happened at 5pm on a Monday afternoon, means they had to clear out the police station of all the peasants, before they brought in the Lord, can't have anyone shouting 'Nonce' in his general direction, he'd have sat in a cell, with the door open, given cups of tea and anything else he desired, probably his favourite Teddy, and his Thomas the Tank Engine slippers.

So much bollocks in one comment, you could start a breeding programme.

[-] ShergalFarkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Tell me which part is bollocks?

[-] Denjin@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

Same as Mandelson, as much as we all might want it, we're a very long way away from having enough evidence to prosecute Andrew for his crimes against women and girls.
