While Andrew is getting what he deserves The Royals are tossing him to wolves to make it all go away. They knew he was a monster for decades and said nothing.

Well, as has been said many times before, if you leave the club, you have no influence over how the club runs things.

If they can arrest AMW, I would also like to see Johnson investigated for that trip to the Russian owned Italian villa without his Police protection officers when he was FS.
There is nothing funny about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being arrested.

I know it's ridiculous to have any hope in this world, but I hope Andrew squeals like a pig and dobs everyone else in it.

🇬🇧 The rising unemployment rate in the “uk” is Headline news on bbc Network

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The reducing unemployment rate in Scotland, which is now 38% lower than in England, is a news blackout with bbc Scotlandshire
