Holy shit:

@masek They got him on the *easy to prove* charge. Others may follow. I suspect he'll get the full Rolf Harris treatment, whenever the King needs to throw the proles another cookie.

That is Trump’s biggest concern, losing the wealth?

He can just declare sex scandal as unreal.

Ever since they got Capone.

@cstross Hell must be freezing over and definitely some horses disturbed.

@cstross
I can't help thinking he is being used as a distraction from people guilty of more/worse crimes mentioned in the Epstein files

@cstross a new resident for the Tower perhaps.

@cstross is it even a monarchy if the people can't execute a monarch when they're total shit or the crops are failing (or both)

@cstross bretaña, mañana, séra republicana

The case of the Crown vs Andrew Mountbatton-Windsor...?

Interesting times!

[tmcfarlane@toot.community]

@Nibor4000 @cstross fortunately we can deal with more than one bastard at a time.

@Linza @cstross I think crops would fail even worse if that Gobshite was offered up for sacrifice.

@dgold If the King handles this properly (for PR values of "properly") it'll keep England a monarchy for at least another generation. (Scotland is already majority republican.)

@GF493D @Linza I view Randy Andy as a proxy sacrifice for Chuckles the Third. Minimum Viable Monarch to exsanguinate to appease the media gods.

[masek@infosec.exchange]

@cstross Love your optimism ️

[gf493d@theforkiverse.com]

@cstross @Linza Maybe all we really need is a barBq. Charles can bring his big fat pedo #sausage fingers.

I love that in the BBC report of the police statement the police say that they are not naming the suspect and care should be taken by publications so as not to appear in contempt of court, immediately followed by the link you just posted in bold
