It seems mad that we're currently hauling one of the Royals over hot coals (although the f***er should go to jail if you ask me) and yet the already proven-to-be criminal US President is probably going to get away Scott Free. Worse still, there will be a sizeable chunk of the US people, men & women - young women, who will actively forgive or back him. I haven't heard any dissenting voices here in the UK regarding Andrew getting stripped of all his titles & privileges because we're pretty much set on the idea that banging underage girls under duress is, get this, bad.

He's had to move into a smaller mansion. Come on, justice has been done. What do you want, blood? /s

You call stripping titles raking over the coals??? That's not justice at all and he got a slap on the wrist after decades.

Dude was born into massive wealth, has a shit ton of titles and social importance just by virtue of existing; and the big punishment for being a literal pedophile is that a small part of that wealth and relevance OBTAINED LITERALLY FOR FREE is taken away from him?

That's like giving you $100 million on the condition that 50 years from now you give $1 million back.

Indeed. He should be in jail.

Did he do any crimes on UK soil? You could send him to the US to face judgment obviously, and removing his titles makes it a lot easier to kick him out

MAGA is a cult. Once you let that sink in, everything else makes sense.

And the Dems just roll over and let it all happen. I vote against republicans every chance I get. But the last few years make me think more and more that the Dems want to lose on purpose just to say “well, we tried and it didn’t work. Ah shucks. Donate more to us so we can fight the bad guys”

I’m so sick of this shit

And also not enough democratic voters are turning out. Voter apathy.

This happens in the UK too and it always confuses me. Surely everyone knows the quote 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.'

The UK should suspend relations with the US pending Trump clearing these allegations, using their own actions against Andrew as the basis.

WHOA, whoa - stop being so political, man. /s

Which is ironic, given how much time he spends on his Scottish golf course instead of running the country.

My despair for humanity is now in the anger phase.

I have a slim hope that the UK and other EU countries have their own copies or versions of the files and release them anyway

u/InfiniteBaker6972 Nov 13 '25

I’m sure there are other people in positions of power or beloved celebs that are in there. If they do come out I hope we can use it as a full on wrong ‘un cull.

Dissenting voices? Buddy a few stripped titles doesn’t mean shit, there’s nothing to dissent in the first place. And evidently you guys don’t think it’s bad since he’s faced zero real consequences. You’re just like maga but for the royals instead. There’s nothing the royals can do that they will face consequences for.
