  I bet he’s not even sweating this one.

    It’s a pretty huge step to arrest a member of the royal family. They even did it on his birthday, which is just the icing on the cake. In principle he doesn’t deserve to be treated differently from any other pedo rapist, but in practice, I don’t think the police would do a thing like this unless they really, really mean business. It would be too risky for the careers of everyone involved, unless they felt they had a rock solid case and no choice but to proceed with it.

      This is for misconduct in public office, not alleged sexual offences.

      From what I recall, they’d most likely have probably needed to ask The King for permission to do so, who would have handed him over.

    At least something is done about it, unlike other countries (not to name names)

  He’s the sacrificial lamb, the powers that be will let the public rage against this while quietly shoving the rest of the Epstein revelations under the rug.

    I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they just picked some high status moron to be their fall guy.

      I’d like to hope he’s the first of a long line of people arrested.

      Next up should be Mandleson who has done the same as him with his government emails

    I suspect he’s more likely the one that will turn on the others to save himself.
