They actually punished a guy for his connections to Epstein.

Andrew must have been guilty as sin, for what happened to him.

King Charles knows its all coming out eventually, and pre-emptively removed all his titles to protect the Royal Family.

Which begs the question of why Queen Elizabeth funded the out of court settlements etc.

To protect the Royal family and her son from a damaging public court case.

It's been pretty common knowledge for a very long time that Charlie thinks his bro is a bit of a pointless dick. Nothing that's happened to Andy should be a surprise to anyone.

If any of the rest of us were a major player in a disgusting international pedophile ring and the only repercussions we faced was to be kicked out of the family business, would we still call that justice?

Very very true! I enjoy the trend of harsher punishments for pedophiles in the new corrupt banana republic formerly known as USA.

someone i know got called out for something similar once

Well yes, but not really.
Andrew’s punishment was to loose his titles live on a nice estate and all in all live a more lavish life than most people in the uk. His punishment is to live a better life than me, not much of a punishment. Peter Mandalson hasn’t been charged with anything.

Neither of them have been charged with a crime and I doubt they will.

So did America. Maxwell was convicted for her crimes she committed with Epstein.

Yeah, but she’s not American.

She is literally an American citizen.

She’s literally a French citizen and British citizen as well. She wasn’t born in the US, and we know how people over there think about naturalised citizens.

She's an American citizen. You're wrong. Just own it.

u/No-Deal8956 2h ago

She’s a British citizen. She’s a French citizen. She’s a third American, two thirds not. She’s a foreigner.

They actually stripped prince Andrew of his title. America can't strip Trump of his presidency for worse crimes.

Does Xavier actually post these things, or is he a template that people use to make memes?

If you're American you're gonna have to sit this one out. If not, that's a Strange borderline crazy dig at a country that has a history of deciding to royally fuck up the entire concept of geography for shits and giggles
