    Arrested on his birthday too.

      The late queen’s protection of him was a blemish on her record. I’m happy the king has cut him loose to face consequences… I wonder if they asked him before the arrest…

    Funny how I knew it wasn’t in America not because of the name, but because someone in public office went into custody.

      Many Democrats have been arrested. The fascist political persecution is already in full swing.

      The Falklands war took a heavy toll on his physical and mental health.

      One of his jobs as chopper pilot was to hover near ships, to use himself as a decoy to lure away heatseeker missiles. Enough to age anyone.

    The nonce formerly known as prince facing justice? Wow. I’m looking out of the window right now waiting for the pigs to fly by.

        They have to, this was for pre-charge questioning, and they have time limits on custody for that. They’ve also searched 3 of his properties and his former residence. The question now is when and if they formally charge him.

            The two tier justice system has been on full display for decades now. Pretty sure if I got hit with 30 felonies I wouldn’t just be let go and never sentenced.
