Andrew arrested. What a lot of news there is every day. Perhaps those people who think it's End Times are right.

I am  not surprised that Andrew, Duke of York, as he still is, has been arrested.

By the way, many members of the English and Scottish royal families have been arrested and put in prison but the last was King Charles I in 1647. The Old Pretender would have been if caught and he would have suffered the fate of his royal grandfather. His son the Young Pretender too. 

Since 1649 nothing until Princess Anne was convicted of a criminal offense in 2002 for letting her dog bite some children but she wasn't arrested, much less beheaded —just charged and fined.

The homuncule Starmer is not just an unprincipled liar but a pretty bad lawyer. He was quite wrong to say no-one is above the law. The King is, but not his brother.

Starmer was of course also wrong, and getting far above his station, when he said days ago that Andrew should go to America to answer questions. 

England is not an American colony, although Starmer certainly behaves as if we were.

That's why he countenances the Royal Navy committing piracy accompanied by an American ship. 

That's a more serious offence than any amount of ducal corruption, without mentioning his being an accomplice to mass murder.

Lord Mandelson is enormously to blame for lobbying for Prince Andrew to become the UK's special representative for trade and investment in place of the dear old, deliciously boring Duke of Kent. 

Prince Andrew held the job, for which he was egregiously unfitted from 2001 until 2011.

No doubt he and Epstein used it to their advantages.

Only thanks to Wikileaks was Andrew sacked. Otherwise he might have held the job until the interview with Maitlis.

Rod Liddle said in the Spectator issue of 8 December 2010: 'The most important, and comforting, thing to emerge from all that Wiki-Leaks business was that, by and large, we were right. All the things we suspected, or knew either instinctively or through common sense, were proved to be correct. Prince Andrew — arrogant, rude and with the IQ of a corgi? Yep.'

Andrew had made a very embarrassing (for himself and the UK) speech to a British Chamber of Commerce in some remote country in which he said everyone bribes.

The moral is: royal princes and princesses shouldn't have jobs. 

Which brings me to Beatrice and Eugenie, who will be now scrutinised closely. I doubt if either will withstand it. 

They are also plain and seem greedy and have French names.

Why isn't Wexner arrested? Or Dershowitz or any Americans? Or Israelis?
