The Andrew formerly known as Prince

With the sensational arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor we enter the realm occupied by those who want to eradicate our monarchy while simultaneously doing a bit of deflection.

I am not particularly pro monarchy but I am much more anti Republican. As bad as monarchy can be, surely having a President could be much worse. Satan Blair would have walked it a few decades ago and then the dreadful thought of having SlotGob as First Lady would have been unleashed on us. In our present government the man at the top is very pro Republic and I would guess so are many of the Cabinet.

According to the excellent Neil Sean, a journalist of many years experience and with his feet firmly on the ground, the arrest at Marsh Farm was stage managed. Andrew had indicated he was willing to go to a police station or to entertain plod at his house. Instead seven unmarked police vehicles arrived to arrest him and search the premises. 

There was apparently no need for all this circus, it could all have been done more quietly without the drama of an arrest. It seems that at least seven police forces are looking into Andrew’s past and this accounts for the seven vehicles involved in feeling his collar and turning the place over.

Neil further alleges that according to his sources The Royal Lodge at Windsor has not been searched. Plod said they also visited premises in Berkshire and as far as anyone knows the only such place would be the Royal Lodge where the former Duke of York used to reside. The jury is still out on that one. This can be updated as of Friday the 20th. The Royal Lodge is being searched right now. It is possible they did not start that search until plod had felt his collar which makes some kind of sense. With an arrest comes the right to search without a search warrant.

We all know Rodney Spanner has plod and the judges in his pocket and there is no doubt in my mind that this was instigated by our hapless Prime Minister. It certainly cleared that day’s news of anything else. He must have breathed a sigh of relief as his idiotic attempts to be Prime Minister were no longer the day’s headlines. He snuck in a quick decision to stop the Americans using any of our RAF bases to attack Iran including Diego Garcia. He even went further by notifying the Mauritius government of his decision. Under the present agreement there was no need to do this – it states that either side are free to use Diego Garcia at any time, this comes under his new treaty with Mauritius and this is not yet active. The man is so treacherous.

Only the day before he threatened to arrest and jail the Chagossians who rocked up on the Ile de Coin in a small boat. Why on earth can’t he do the same to those flooding in via Dover. As they say, that was not good optics but has now fallen by the wayside.

I don’t care at all for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, a most unsavoury chap with an unsavoury family, but I also do not approve of Keith using anyone to deflect from his incompetence and stupidity. As the icing on Starmer’s cake he is also striking at the monarchy itself. Perhaps he thinks he will be in with a shout at being President in some future nightmare. It appears that very few of his forensic grey cells function.
