Classic 1984 Newspeak.

There is a threat, so we need to counter it. Trust us. Take our word for it. We cannot actually show you the threat or any evidence supporting our theory because "security" but believe us when we say its true just because we said it is.

Also no one points out that the US has an airbase in Japan, on China's border, does that mean the US will invade China?

Not that I don't doubt Russia could invade the Ukraine, but I think the days when we are expected to believe anything politicians tells us has now come to an end after Iraq and Covid lockdown fiasco.

Changed his tune now hasn't he, clearly the pressure was getting to him as it's not like his public image could have been damaged any further.

I know it was a civil case and realistically there was no way in hell that things would have ever escalated to the extent that he may have gone to jail (which he 100% deserves). But it's still disappointing to see that you can rape someone caught up in sex trafficking and get away with it if you're rich enough and decide that you're remorseful enough to pay up all of a sudden.

The man is a rapist and he's paying his way out of it with our money. Absolute parasite.

Part of me is pretty pissed off that a rich, lying rapist can pay his way out of this, but at the same time you have to consider that Giuffre will have had to accept that settlement. I can't imagine the strain this sort of legal action would have on a victim, especially when the defendant is someone this high profile - she will have had to consider not just the emotional pain she carries from the events themselves, but also this potentially being dragged out for years while she remains somewhat in the public eye.

But this is the bit that pisses me off the most:
A statement in the letter to US judge Lewis A Kaplan, said the duke would make a "substantial donation to Ms Giuffre's charity in support of victims' rights".

It added that Prince Andrew had "never intended to malign Ms Giuffre's character" and that he recognised she had "suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks".

The duke also pledged to "demonstrate his regret for his association" with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by supporting the "fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims".
The Prince recognises that Miss Giuffre, the woman that he raped three times, has suffered as an established victim of abuse. Really. Really. You don't fucking say. I know that this is the correct, legal way to report this, but fucking hell it feels repulsive to put out a statement like that.

I just hope that whenever Prince Andrew is referenced going forward, his title be changed to Lying Rapist. If he regains the HRH, it will stand for His Raping Highness.

When your going to spend the remainder of history mentioned in the same light as Saville and Glitter, that's it's own justice I suppose.

Giuffre is just as much as shit because she said she was not interested in the money but to have her day in court and a full public apology, which she did not get. At the end of the day she wanted money. Apparentely £10M of our money.

Fuck off....I hope that money gives her nothing but grief.

Isn't the money going to victims' charities rather than her?
Unless I've understood it incorrectly.
