Ah, get over it! Epstein, Prince Andrew, who cares? It's just another episode in the greasy reality of other people's lives. Nothing to do with most of us.

I'm rather amused by this. It's not the point that Epstein and Prince Andrew et al other rich and famous, screwed young girls of various ages, but that they are straight.

The baying hounds of the gay rights set, how shocking homosexuality failils to get a mention.

This Epstein nonesense is not even news worthy. When we as a society parade semi nude homosexual bandwagons through our main streets, and tick that off as acceptable, at the least Epstein and Prince Andrew were half normal!

Binoy should stop being a reporter and become a journalist.
That means doing some background research on stories and telling us what we don't know, instead of merely giving a commentry on recent events.

Here's an example of actual journalism.

Maybe you can use the source material for you next article.
No, Binoy doesn't read the comments;
And he doesn't interact with his readers.
I think he's reached his pinnacle.

Face it Prince Andrew.

You are a fool and a tool.

And yours has been caught in the cookie jar!

Prince Andrew could become woke and take up the 'climate emergency'. That normally gets the media off your back like it does with other Hollywood 'stars'. I mean wasn't Epstein, Weinstein and other Hollywood actors overlooked for their deviancy because they took up woke causes. Want to be thankful he isn't Catholic. He could be in gaol with no witnesses or real evidence. Kinda like Pell.

I'm surprised at the quiet around Fergie on this.

At the time, to these girls, it was an opportunity to meet, hang around, get together with & possibly make a permanent attachment to the mega rich & famous people. It was all fun & games & they were all for it.

Now, their names might become embroiled in some controversy of a sexual nature, they all cry innocence’s.

Of course there could be much money made, Media, for a story. Compensation, from an estate, or just to keep the trap shut.

There are very High Class Women’s Schools that train these types of women for these types of roles. A very Senior British Army Officer once told me. the Hierarchy the Army has, “Other Ranks should not Marry, Sergeants & Senior Non-Commissioned Officers, Can Marry, but it’s not advisable.

Subalterns should not marry, Captains should marry, Major’s & above must Marry.

You local Hometown girl is suffice for Other Ranks, Sergeant, Non-Commissioned Offers & Subaltern.

Captains, Major’s & higher Ranking Officers should consult one of the Organized Agencies which cater for such. These women are such that they can easily fit into an Upper Class Society & perform their Duties in such a Society. They can be useful to gain further promotions by offering special favours to those persons on Promotion Boards, etc. In other words to quote this Officer, “High Class Prostitutes.”

Apparently this is in the “Little Red Book” given to Officers when the Graduate from Officers School. It the Book for Commissioned Officers on Etiquette in the Armed Forces. It also contains things about, the Use of Personal Cards, visiting friends, behaviour in Restaurants & other useful things. Very interesting.

That’s what these women were. Very High Class Prostitutes. Now they have been named It’s all, “Poor me I didn’t know. Let’s just say . BS.

What worries me is all the victim-blaming stuff going on here. And lack of empathy, plus without a scaric of evidence, the labelling of foolish young girls as prostitutes. Some of who would have been virgins and only there because of the attraction of money, power and influence.

If there was anything outside the law happening and can be proven, then the lawbreakers ought to spend aa few hours in the dock! All sexual perpetrators and wife beaters are innocent! I don't know if the royal had illicit sex with an underage girl. But I have no problem with anyone just dancing with one!

And who is able to decide if a young girl with makeup etc, is under 18. If there's a case and evidence, say DNA. Then the accused should front up and tell his side! I didn't know the nun was loaded your Honour, or whatever. Nobody, not even the pope is above the law!

Certainly not an "English" prince lacking any discernable empathy, and not a convincing enough actor to convey any bogus empathy!
Alan B.

Well said Alan B.

One really where the parents of these girls were. Many of them were mean't to be around 13 years old. Then again parents do allow their kids to go and watch the likes of Madonna, Pink and other 'wonderful' role models.

Alan B: the labelling of foolish young girls as prostitutes.

So, what do you call sex for money?

Alan B: Some of who would have been virgins.

Do you believe that. WTF.

Alan B: and only there because of the attraction of money, power and influence.

Yep, All ladies High Class Finishing School girls. The used to be one in Brisbane run by a very famous Lady. Professional Escorts they were called. There to entertain visiting dignitaries.

Oh, I had to attend Deportment Classes there as part of my training. I was used as a Model's escort on the Runway at Fashion Shows sometimes. The ladies use to look after me, really well, sometimes If they were bored. ;-)

Does that make me a Victims? I wonder if I could expose some of these Grandmothers for money. Lets see I was 17 & they would have been in their early 20's so that would make them around 85 now. Ay.

I was 17 at the time.

Giday runner

Prince Andrew and 13 year olds - really?

AC

You put it all into context by extracting the small "l" liberal from the story.

We can be thoroughly convinced now Epstein was murdered. There lies the real story; "who done it"?

"Queen reportedly cancels Prince Andrew's 60th birthday party in wake of BBC interview"

November 25, 2019 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-25/queen-cancels-prince-andrew-birthday-in-wake-of-bbc-interview/11733688

"The Queen has reportedly cancelled Prince Andrew's 60th birthday celebrations, as the fallout from his disastrous interview over his widely criticised friendship with the late sex offender Jeffery Epstein continues.

...The Prince took part in an interview with the BBC in an attempt to stem the tide of speculation about what he knew about Epstein and his crimes, as well as address allegations against himself.

...However, the interview was widely condemned as a "car crash", with the Prince criticised for failing to express sympathy for Epstein's victims and declining to say that he regretted his friendship with the late billionaire.

When asked about his decision to stay at Epstein's house in New York after the financier had been convicted of sex crimes, the Prince said it was a "convenient" place to stay."

Plantagenet: the interview was widely condemned as a "car crash", with the Prince criticised for failing to express sympathy for Epstein's victims and declining to say that he regretted his friendship with the late billionaire.

Epstein's victims? Were they Victims or were they hired High Class Hostess's/Escort's/Prostitutes?

The difference is the amount or remuneration paid. $10000/20000 for a High Class Hostess. $10000/10000 For a High Class Escort, $20/1000 for a Prostitute, depending on where you find them.

In the 50/80's" there was a well known Model Agency in Brisbane who did the training for these girls. I went to Deportment Class there. All very Hush hush of course. Everybody knew, no-one said anything & this lady was the very Toast of the Town. Indeed she was a lovely lady. In Townsville, more of the same.

These girls knew what they were doing. There was the possibility that they could meet an extremely rich husband at the same time & they got to travel the World for free.

There were no "Victim's" The big problem for these girls is that their name may come out in the Wash. There have been no under aged girls named. So why is he a criminal. He just provided a Service. Many have before & many will forever after. Hint, A famous person has a house in Melbourne & the same thing is happening, but, this is supposedly a good thing. Because she is a Woman?

It's all just a big Media Hype.

I just got about 20 emails from Forum or On Line in a batch yesterday. All a week late.

Indie: I'm surprised at the quiet around Fergie on this.

I'm sure that if Fergie can get her toe sucked then Andy can......
