Andrew Windsor mark 11

I typed several lines to this and they have totally disappeared.
Said basically that free speech has not existed in this country for a few years now. You always have to fear offending someone even if it's only the garden gnome.

That doesn't mean we have to give in though. We are the 60's generation and proud to be so

There's not a lot to say with the current GN restrictions.

You can tell I haven't got much to do today!!

Just dipping my toe in the water again. I do think that the best course of action for the palace if they wanted to keep a lid on this would to have simply kept quiet.

Twitter and other social media have gone mad.

I am confused doesnt take much

Is everything a problem because legal proceedings have started?
So if say a general person Mrs F comes on gransnet to complain about what Mr A was up to. And then Mr F starts legal proceedings that is ok, because when Mrs F posted, she and gransnet didnt know legal proceedings were going to happen?

Or is there a problem with the garden gnome becuase he has a lot of legal clout?
I suppose what I am also asking is if say this stuff about the garden gnome was say discussed a couple of years ago, then there wouldnt be a problem.
Or would there?
Would gransnet have to go back and take out all posts that hinted at the hgarden gnome's possible guilt.
[Not even sure I am making much sense to myself ]

And how come twitter and other social media and Radio 2 can go mad, but gransnet cant? Or wont?

Utterly , giving up.......

soon there are no legal proceedings relating to AW in the UK.

Is he not Andrew York? As in of ..... or is he still Windsor .

So many choices!

or even Andrew Saxe-Coburg

Isn't he Andrew Mountbatten Windsor ?

Mountbatten Windsor? Don't use the word "mount"!!

soutra

soutre your name has been noted.

"They've got a little list
And they'll none of them be missed"?

Andrew Albert Christian Edward Windsor.

That's all I have to contribute.

Has anyone seen NanKate since she was dissin' Kim Jong-un?

Are the press maybe a little discombobulated about the "postponement" of a BBC programme about his brother, just last week. Press do seem to be excessively interested with front page stories and square metres of coverage.

UK press keep using the word "underage" in their headlines which is just misleading and sensationalist. Somewhere in the small print they make it clear that under English law the girl was not underage.

I am no royalist and have no axe to grind on behalf of the protagonists, but I do get very annoyed at the way the media approach stories. I used to work on a magazine as picture editor and the editor loved a good scandal or a death - it used to make me sick.

I want to know how they "made" her. (do what I'm sure she didn't do ) Were handcuffs involved? All very odd.

TMI jingl!!!

I think it was all down to money jings as usual

Are you alleging bribery, Lona?
