Andrew Mountbatten Windsor hasn’t been arrested because he used his power and wealth to harm women and girls. He’s been arrested because he might have harmed trade deals and profits.
The monarchy only tried to cut ties with him after it became publicly impossible not to, for risk of bringing the entire family down.
Too bloody late an unelected and unwanteds representation of empire, slavery and class divide. In a civilized or sane country, this would be the end of the royal family.Long overdue that this arcane and corrupt institution is relegated and confined to the dustbins of history. .We should preserve history but they have little say or any power on our country so are of little use to us bar a waste of money.
The Monarchy should go. Not because of Andrew or scandal. It should go because hereditary privilege is morally wrong. Every year, the public hands over £500 million to fund a billionaire king, while energy bills, rents and food prices all rise.
We don't need a monarchy that drains public resources and adds no value to the UK and are an utter embarrassment ,a relic from a long time ago. Why anyone would want to continue keeping the Royal Family in a lap of luxury is completely beyond me.
The entire premise of someone being royalty is simply ridiculous. As long as monarchy exists, the "class system" exists. And by dint of that, the vast majority of people in this country are deemed inferior to a teeny tiny elite.
The whole royal brand is tainted and the age of deference is well and truly over.
Fingers crossed this could be the end of the pantomime that call themselves The Royal Family once and for all ! The monarchy is the past, let’s put it where it belongs and move on to a better, fairer future. The best time to abolish the British monarchy was centuries ago. The second-best time is right now. Enough is enough. Down with the every crown. No one is our King or Queen. Democracy Now. We need an accountable, elected head of state.
