I'd love it if Prince Andrew went to America to face the music, because I'd love to have someone as famous as he showing a moral lead Tell the truth and shame the devil.

We’re not discussing me, are we? We’re discussing PA

Again - neither the authorities or the young woman said PA forced her. The investigation is into what Epstein did. There is still no reason why PA should not give a statement.

suziewoozie Wed 12-Feb-20 12:31:51

Yes Old exactly that- giving a witness statement as to what he observed that might well help bring about justice. A moral position that both HM and PA should adopt. What’s not to endorse?

Anniebach Wed 12-Feb-20 12:57:54

Not always easy to take the moral position unless one has never been asked to , easy to judge then.

suziewoozie Wed 12-Feb-20 13:07:28

It’s easy to judge that he is not doing the moral thing. He is acting in his own best interests and I’d like to know what’s moral,and/ or Christian about that. Perhaps you could point me to the verse in the Bible that says ‘Thou shallt only do the right thing when it coincides with thine own best interest’

Anniebach Wed 12-Feb-20 13:19:00

You know it’s in his own best interests ?

sigh away

PA has stated he didn't have sex with her. If he gave a statement to the investigating authority he could reiterate that and then answer questions regarding anything he may have seen or heard whilst visiting the house.

Anniebach Wed 12-Feb-20 15:09:05

Name names ?

suziewoozie Wed 12-Feb-20 15:09:22

Maybe he’s just so entitled and spoilt he doesn’t see why he should help out or he has no moral compass or he daren’t admit as to what he’s been involved with - maybe all three?

suziewoozie Wed 12-Feb-20 15:10:23

Not just the house in NY. There was the house on the island as well

Anniebach Wed 12-Feb-20 15:11:09

Maybe, maybe not

Oldwoman70 Wed 12-Feb-20 15:44:32

Yes, name names, why not? - they could be potential witnesses who saw or heard something to help the investigation

Anniebach Wed 12-Feb-20 15:47:13

Even the guards of Epstein lied, did he kill himself ?

Oldwoman70 Thu 13-Feb-20 08:39:39

*Annie" I'm confused by your last post - are you saying that PA shouldn't give a statement because he will lie?

Anniebach Thu 13-Feb-20 08:48:35

No Oldwoman. I am saying the prison guards lied, Epstein
allegedly hanged himself , perhaps he did, perhaps he was silenced . who would he have named if he had gone to trial ?

Oldwoman70 Thu 13-Feb-20 09:00:12

but that has nothing to do with this thread!

Anniebach Thu 13-Feb-20 09:01:45

I think it has everything to do with this thread .

suziewoozie Thu 13-Feb-20 09:03:43

Old I’m afraid annies posts will not not address the basic moral issue here as it would mean criticising PA ( and in my view HM as well).

Oldwoman70 Thu 13-Feb-20 09:18:13

The thread title is "Prince Andrew and the Moral Law" - what does whether Epstein's guards lied or not got to do with it? I think Annie you are grasping at straws in trying to defend PA not giving a statement.

Anniebach Thu 13-Feb-20 09:20:54

Ok, you and susie know it all ,even what others are thinking

suziewoozie Thu 13-Feb-20 09:22:32

Oh dear
