UK’s Prince Andrew gives up royal title Duke of York amid renewed scrutiny over Epstein ties

1. It’s ironic someone can give up a title of nobility based on public backlash. Like I thought the whole appeal of hereditary privilege was that you didn’t give a shit what the public thought. That’s its main selling point no?

2. It didn’t take an FBI interrogator to see that Prince Andrew was lying during that BBC News Night interview when he claimed to have broken off contact with Epstein. Also, anyone who bought the “I wasn’t capable of sweating at the time’ excuse needs to have their head examined.

   What’s creepiest of all are the contents of the Prince’s emails to Epstein.

   “We’ll play some more soon.”

   Between those emails and Trump’s “Enigmas never age” comment, it’s becoming increasingly clear that these billionaire pederasts consider themselves untouchable. Why else would they use barely-cloaked language to describe their nightmarishly evil proclevities?

   And let’s face it: Until now, they have been untouchable. Maxwell is literally the only perpetrator to have seen the inside of a cell, and it’s not clear she’ll remain there. A Trump pardon is still very much a possibility.

3. Isn’t this move in and of itself an admission of guilt? Also, is it not setting an awful precedent? No one should be above the law. No one, not even royalty. Is gving up a Dukedom, especially in such a token manner, but even if it was fully giving up a Dukedom, enough punishment for child rape?

   We need an independent inquiry, his time in court and hopefully a long prison sentence.

   Virginia’s book makes her rape seem so every day. Surely this isn’t the only time this has happened?
