I wsn’t expecting to develop begrudging respect for England today.
I did not expect this.
Sadly, this proves that even the infamously evil ROYAL FAMILY has more integrity than Trump and our politicians (including Democrats).
Which is fucking terrifying, really. Brace yourselves, keep your chin up, and all of that
Perhaps King Charles has had enough of his sick fuck brother. Slow castration with hot oil is in order and since the UK does not have the death penalty, a dungeon with public viewing is in order.
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.
Oh, I see, it’s funny because it’s not true! Ha ha! Ohhhhh
He’s being arrested for sharing official documents. Not the disgusting crimes he committed against children and/or women. It’s not real accountability, it’s theater meant to placate the angry masses.
Trump had crates full of official documents in his bathroom and nobody touched him in four years.

Thousands of years into our civilization and the oldest tricks still work the best. The more things change and all that.
edit: that said, Epstein was almost definitely working as a double-agent between various organizations, maybe a quadruple agent or more, he wasn’t so well-connected and powerful just because he dealt children, he also dealt secrets between superpowers, so just having contact with him as a state official puts a massive spotlight on you as a security risk.
National governments care a lot more about you being a security risk than they do about you hurting kids.
The penalty is mostly fines. Even sharing military secrets in UK is only 2 years. WTF Brits.
I wonder if he’s finally sweating now.
The grand old Duke of York
he had 12 million quid
He gave it to someone he’d never met
for something he never did
Finally! An arrest!
Meanwhile in america: {crickets, followed by a tumbleweed blowing across a sand covered road}
And that’s after the obese orange child rapist was best friends with Epstein for decades, and has been mentioned many thousands of times, with thousands of pictures, and numerous sexual accusations all in the Epstein files.
The fat cunt could shoot a baby live on TV and no fucker would do a thing about it.Yeah, but have you considered the Dow? The Dow is at 50$… or something.
It’s incredibly conspicuous that Trump hasn’t arrested anyone over this. He’ll take any opportunity to persecute his perceived enemies, and plenty of them are in the files. He sues people over absolutely nothing. It’s weird that not one prosecution has gone down. He’ll probably even pardon Maxwell.
As an American I find this confusing to arrest a rich, powerful person on criminal charges.
Especially a rich white person
A rich, white, pedophile! Arrested. Have they no respect? What will they do next… tax them?
trump/fElon next please
As a British person that’s something I thought I’d never see.
Arrested on his birthday too.
Arrested on his birthday too.
Love seeing this creep go down.
As an American citizen I’m wildly jealous.
The evidence is right there and we’re the only ones that don’t seem to give a s***.
Got to have a couple of examples of the rich and powerful going away for their crimes so the plebs don’t realise how stacked against them the system really is.
Blame Queen Elizabeth. She was more interested in preserving the monarchy than Andrew’s victims. There has to be a better way to promote tourism.
I’m not British but I’m also very surprised. I can’t help but wonder if they would have dared had he still had his title?
on his birthday too.
The cops took the phrase “the icing on the cake” literally, and I think it was an excellent choice.
I can’t help but wonder if they would have dared had he still had his title?
I would assume that the king and other interested parties will have known this was coming for a while and that is why he lost his title.
Maybe, I’m not so sure. I had thought they knew it was very likely the accusations were true, but they spent a lot of time sidestepping action. If public criticism hadn’t been so relentless, they might have been content to sweep it under the rug, as is tradition.
But I have never kept close track of the royal family, largely because I always assumed they were untouchable.
they spent a lot of time sidestepping action
That’s sort of my point though, they spent years protecting him and then suddenly a few months ago something made them turn on a dime and strip him of his titles very rapidly. I suspect that “something” was being told the police had enough evidence to arrest him.
The law wanted to send a clear message, just 25 years too late.
Arrested on his birthday too
surprise muthafucka
HOLY CRAP IT’S REAL.
I didn’t believe it when I first saw it. FUCKING AWESOME.
Republicanists (no relation to the rotten GOP) are going to have a field day today.
It’s on the Beeb. Full throttle. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=M5I5ATQy6zk
This should put enough pressure for Trump to be next, right my US American fiends?
You have to start by removing his title.
trump/fElon should both be in prison right now, but I dont see it happening
Justice!
Not exactly, the arrest is about stealing and sharing state secrets, not the children he raped.
While it’s true and that’s what they’re investigating, they’re searching his devices and his properties and they can prosecute on anything they find.
Hell of a lot more than most people expected.
At least it’s something. At least it shows someone rich and powerful can be held accountable for crimes
He’s only 66?! Damn, he looks 80.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
