Prince Andrew and the Moral Law

Prince Andrew’s always been a scumbag! No, a normal family should never have to take responsibility for that, but they’re not a normal family. Surely that’s the whole point isn’t it? If they were, then there’d be even more reason to shelve this institution than there is now.

Prince A's did himself no favours during that tv interview with EM. The explanation that being too honourable was the reason he stayed 4 days with his friend JE, after JE's conviction for sex offences against minors was astounding. Worse, PA felt the interview had gone well. It says so much about his personality and belief systems. So to address the OP's point about 'moral law', I think we know that PA's view of morality may not be the same as most of us.
He said that if he's asked to cooperate with an interview about his knowledge/friendship with JE, he will consult with his legal team and cooperate if so advised. This morning the DM on line reports that PA say he hasn't been approached by anyone. Whether he has or not, I suspect his legal team would advise him to avoid an interview. They'll have watched his tv interview .......

Alexa, if you are using a PC, this might help.
I had to enable the Touch keyboard to allow me to use emojis.

Ilovecheese, to a certain extent we all represent the family institution to which we belong. My family have so far not given me cause to be held to blame, but I would think it most unfair if that happened. He’s not a child, so he’s responsible for his own actions.
By all means bring someone over here to interview him, but I think it’s unreasonable to expect anyone so much in the public eye to anticipate correct treatment over there. Whilst this shouldn’t be ‘tit for tat’, let them take the moral high ground and send the child killer over here and show how it should be done.

Or deflection even

Still it’s a typical defection technique and means you don’t have to criticise our sainted RF

It’s ridiculous to talk about a ‘swop’ with AS. They are both serious but very different issues and you don’t let either off them off then hook just because they are both morally bankrupt individuals without a shred of empathy or human decency. They both have agency as individuals. What a thoroughly ridiculous suggestion.

Alexa - I found the emojis on my computer by accident. When you're writing a message right click and you get a menu with emojis in it. ? There are hundreds of them!

Shame on Prince Andrew and shame on the Queen ?

As Jane10 stated, when the American woman who caused the death of the young English boy returns to give a statement is when Duke of York goes to America to do the same!

Oh. I had better find out if my computer can do that too

From my iPad ???????????

Where did u get that emoticon I did not seeit on the Gnet list?

Alexa ?????

He has, at the very least, casual sex with girls young enough to be his daughters and was BFF with a convicted paedeophile . He is a sleaze bag of the first order

Susiewoosie, I am writing a fable here as I well know

There are all sorts of Christians as we know, Susiewoosie. It would also be great if Prince Andrew proclaimed "I am doing the courageous and honourable thing because I am a Christian."

He won’t

Please, I mean I'd like it if Prince Andrew did this brave thing, whether or not his family approve.

It’s not about him facing trial ffs it’s about his providing a witness statement.

Well his mother certainly bears some responsibility in all this - if she wanted, she could certainly make sure that he was interviewed. They are not a normal family and they are not any mother and son. She’s the Queen and he’s a Prince - of course he should show a moral lead and she should damn well make him.

FWIW I think it would be quite acceptable for the relevant authorities to come over here to interview him. Regardless of who he did and didn’t have grubby sex with, he is certainly witness to potentially illegal behaviour and should bear witness. After all we all know he’s a Christian don’t we?

Will the American woman who ran over that young man come over to face trial here?

So are you saying that each & everyone one of us should be pilloried & held to account if one member of our family is guilty of misdemeanours or a criminal offence ?

It is the institution that he represents
If we are supposed to respect a person because of the family that they are born into then any members conduct is a reflection of the whole institution.

Is his family to be blamed ? Would you take responsibility for
your siblings ?
