Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Prince Andrew is under scrutiny after reports revealed he sought financial support from an alleged Chinese spy, deepening questions about his finances.

The businessman, linked to China’s Communist Party, was tasked with finding investors for Andrew’s Eurasia Fund before being banned from the UK on national security grounds in 2021.

Documents show Andrew was described as "desperate" and vulnerable to influence.

This comes weeks after Buckingham Palace declared his finances legitimate, raising concerns over his controversial relationships and prompting calls for a full investigation into his past trade dealings.

You mean the totally-not-friends-with-Epstein Prince Andrew who still values him as a person that made an oopsie and called his child rape island "unbecoming"? The Prince Andrew who sweats a lot if he is alleged to have partaken in said child rape, but you gotta understand that it is a medical condition so he is totally not guilty?

Who would have thought he is a piece of shit, color me surprised.

People should not be rich and famous because of who their parents are. He has earned nothing and committed atrocities. It's simply wrong.

He needs to be in prison so he can totally not hang himself, like his buddy.

Royal families still, in modern times, are a joke. Lock him up
