Prince Andrew Can't Sweat

Doing wrong is not black and white even in law.

My own father who of course had never heard of Prince Andrew, could not sweat. My mother , who had never heard of Prince Andrew, told me this when I was was girl . My mother did not explain about the adrenaline thing as she had no medical knowledge, but after Andrew's admission about not sweating . I can understand how hormones are affected by some severe life events. My father was at the Eastern Front during the Great War.

Also in support of Prince Andrew, he probably did not even know that it was illegal or even immoral to shag an unknown and poor seventeen year old girl. Very rich people have odd childhoods, and it takes special efforts by parents and teachers to teach them what real life is.

Andrew should have done ‘a Corbyn’ when he was photographed attended a wreath laying ceremony for terrorists
who murdered an Olympic Team,

‘I was there but I don’t think I was involved’

Hundreds of people were listed in Epstein's black books, and the FBI should have been investigating how he made his fortune through investigating all these contacts while he was imprisoned. I imagine the underage girls were a honey trap, used as a possible threat in case 'friends'proved disobliging. This is mere conjecture on my part, but it seems feasible, and the source of Epstein's fortune is wreathed in mystery.

Associates who a woman alleges used her in this way, and decides to sue for financial gain, who are completely innocent of the claims. It happens, the woman may be believed and the man is ruined. Epstein was looking to protect his wide range of associates at the time.

Eazybee I suspect the fbi have/are investigating where his money came from. Very powerful people still have influence

The manger of one of Epstein’s estate gave evidence against
Maxwell. He worked for Epstein for 12 years.

He would collect young girls and take them to Epstein, he would put 100 dollars in the glove compartment of the car.

He cleared up sex toys and put them in a cupboard. He was many young girls there, if one had complained he would have reported Epstein,

He recalled he was driving Epstein and Epstein told him to stop, a young girl was walking past, Epstein invited her into his
car. The girl was Virginia Giuffrie then age 15.

Not the most honourable man was he.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 05-Jan-22 17:00:02

No he wasn’t. Very unsavoury. Maybe PA only saw the tip of the iceberg, who knows. Certainly an ill judged friendship.

Anniebach Wed 05-Jan-22 17:59:32

The estate manager said in court Epstein picked Giuffre up in his car when she was 15.

Giuffrie claims Maxwell introduced her to .Epstein in 2000,
She was born in 1983

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 05-Jan-22 18:05:07

She’s not good at maths is she?

Anniebach Wed 05-Jan-22 18:14:49

?, even I didn’t have to use my fingers to count that one.

Iam64 Wed 05-Jan-22 18:23:03

Oh dear. The Court was well informed enough to accept that the memory of victims isn’t always spot on. That’s born out by all the research into memory.

Anniebach Wed 05-Jan-22 18:30:07

Yet Giuffrie’s memory is spot on ?

The manager wasn’t a victim

Iam64 Wed 05-Jan-22 18:36:36

Annie, I’m not commenting on VG’s memory, it’s a point recognised in the Court. It will be familiar to anyone who has involvement with witnesses or victims of trauma

Anniebach Wed 05-Jan-22 18:40:30

Iam you didn’t mention VG’s memory but the fact that it’s
accepted victims memories isn’t always spot on gives doubts to
all claims by victims surely?

It's hard to think of anyone who would want Prince Andrew as a family member. On the radio this morning a journalist, who has written an article about him for the Sunday Times, said (to paraphrase) 'he hasn't been pleasant to people on the way up and nobody has anything good to say about him now; he is not liked'. I also feel a little uneasy about Virginia Giuffrie. Hopefully the truth will emerge, but apparently she has had a case dismissed from court previously for a similar charge against another man, and was not called as a witness for Ghislaine Maxwell's trial as there were 'glaring inconsistencies' in her evidence. None of this means that she wasn't a victim of the legal system of course; what a shambolic mess.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 05-Jan-22 18:44:36

After the passage of so many years I would doubt someone could remember what happened on a particular date unless the date had a particular significance for them or they kept a detailed diary.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 05-Jan-22 18:50:43

I don’t think PA is particularly likeable and thank goodness he’s not the heir to the throne, but I have misgivings about VG and her motives. I would like to see the case dismissed simply because I don’t believe all she says, but the damage has been done.

Iam64 Wed 05-Jan-22 18:52:37

I can date the year and month of a very few, but very traumatic events. I could not identify a date except for one. I could find that with the aid of a calendar for the year in question - 34 years ago

Anniebach Wed 05-Jan-22 19:08:48

GSM I have said I think both have lied.

Iam sorry but I don’t understand your post, you can date the month and the year but can’t identify a date

Iam64 Wed 05-Jan-22 19:34:57

Sorry Annie. I was simply identifying that in one traumatic event, I can easily name the year, the month but the exact date, the day of the week isn’t frozen in my memory

pea007 Wed 05-Jan-22 19:40:45

I bet he’s sweating now ?

Anniebach Wed 05-Jan-22 19:47:49

Thanks Iam , but big difference between the day of the week
and 1998 or 2000

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 05-Jan-22 19:58:27

I think we’re in agreement on this Annie.

Anniebach Wed 05-Jan-22 20:04:03

I think we are GSM , I didn’t believe Andrew after one tv interview, ?guffrie so many things causes me to believe she lies .

Its now being reported that PA is frantically trying to sell his ski chalet to raise funds for his lawyers. As I recall, the property actually has not been paid for, they bought it through 'connections', and they owe a substantial sum to the original owners This was reported last summer, I think, and cannot see where he would get any money to pay a large amount. Hope to god its not from the Civic Purse, cos thats me and you.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 08-Jan-22 09:37:52

I knew he was trying to sell it but didn’t realise he was doing so ‘frantically’.
