Prince Andrew?

[Bat Macdui]

He's probably more intelligent than the Royals too. Democracy is overrated though.

Each county gets their own dictator, and the position is won by best of three; a fight in jelly, a Mensa test with weird shapes and a general knowledge test on Great Dictators from History? "So, Mr Burnham, so you think you're more Tito than Stalin?"

[smalex]

"So, Mr Burnham

He SO would apply.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I’m signing up for Bats’ vision.

[Lily]

Andy Burnham in jelly

[Starry]

Bats’ idea should win.

As for Andrew, someone really needs to tell him to fade out of the spotlight, he’s only making things worse for himself. I didn’t think it was possible, but there you have it.

The Irish have managed to elect good presidents, it can be done!

Our current one is immortalised as a tea cosy and a giggling soft toy that they sold for charity. I think he should be president forever.

I love Miggledy

Breaking news is that he has just announced he is "stepping back" from all duties, with the agreement of the Queen. This on othe back of him being caught lying about when he actually met Epstein.

[Froozy]

And lots of sponsors withdrawing from projects/charities he’s involved with. Good fucking riddance.

[Ella77]

Good. Honestly, fuck this guy.

[smalex]

Do we still have to pay for him to sit on his arse doing nothing, getting away with being a paedophile?

I know! it's fucking terrible.

The Christmas speech is going to be a tricky write this year.

Technically he isn't on the Civil List or whatever it's called now. He gets a navy pension but has also been raking in £££ via expenses whilst he's been noncing around the world on 'official business'. So his money comes from the Queen and the Royal Navy pension - we are paying for it one way or another.

[smalex]

I love it when they say that the Queen is paying for something herself. One way or another, they've got all their wealth from us! It's not as if she's got a side hustle flogging kleeneze.

Annus horribilissimus ?

That has really tickled me, in amongst the gloom

[Annabella]

Unfortunately for Queen whom I do admire for still working at 90+ this is not what she envisioned when she started the job - favourite son being a complete waste of space as well as all the rest - she must be wishing she could retire and get out of it altogether right now

[Morganna]

She probably is; but if she did, the monarchy would really struggle. The thing is, though, she must have known what was going on (whether or not she knew whilst it was going on), and yet it wasn't till he was pushed that Andrew has jumped. Apparently the Queen signed off the awful interview, in the hope that he'd get away with it, too.

I completely understand a mother wanting to stand by her son, and not believing that he could do such a thing; but as the Queen she really shouldn't have got involved, however indirectly, with covering up something like trafficking and paedophilia. It's sanctioning it at the highest level.

[Luna]

I read somewhere that Sarah F was instrumental in his decision to do the interview. She thought it would repair his reputation in the same way she flogged herself on some awful Oprah series. The thing is, she was just stupid with money, not a paedophile so how she thought this would work in his favour boggles the mind.
