Graham Smith says King Charles should be answering questions from journalists
The BBC presenter takes umbrage at that, saying she doesn't understand why the King should have to answer questions.
You're saying the head of state should be accountable? You're mad, you are!

Graham Smith: "Its not just Andrew, there are serious questions being asked, we've heard hecklers asking them, BBC journalists not so much, about what did William & Charles know, when did they know it"
The BBC presenter did not like that.

Important to point out that the reason it’s a ‘misconduct in public office’ charge is because the other crimes he committed would open up the police/royal security services to scrutiny about how much of his deviance were they aware of.
Note: Not rape. Not paedophilia. Not human trafficking.

For any non-Brits watching this, it is absolutely inconceivable that members of the establishment face consequences, get arrested etc, unless it is so nakedly corrupt and illegal that it threatens the whole rotten edifice.

Charles agreed to leave with Joyce, although upon seeing Joyce’s men, Charles pressed the cornet to show him the commission which gave him his orders.
Joyce is said to have gestured to his 500 horsemen and told Charles, “This is my commission! It is behind me.”

I wonder which protest Andrew offered first upon being arrested:
"My brother is the king of England!"
Or
"It's my birthday!"

People talking prematurely about elite accountability and comparing the UK favourably to other states are making big assumptions that a) arrest will be followed by charge, b) conviction will actually follow if guilty, and c) any sentence will be commensurate with the crime(s)

Before the self-congratulation about the rule of law applying to everyone gets completely out of hand: he could have been arrested years ago on evidence that has long been known, and there are plenty of other people who have got away with just the sort of thing Andrew MW is accused of.
