Maybe Boris is the secret barrister

I enjoyed the "Hi Dom!".

Looking forward to the BBC’s interview with Virginia Roberts tomorrow.

I reckon Ghislaine Maxwell is dead or being held against her will.

She'll fall off a boat, no-one will notice until after the event.

She's still plotting with Andy... https://nypost.com/2019/12/01/prince-andrew-in-constant-contact-with-epstein-ex-ghislaine-maxwell-report/

NY Post quoting a report in The Sun? Plus it’s a ‘source’?

I’m fairly sure that’s a plant to make it look like she’s still able to control her own affairs.

Her dad used to urinate off the roof onto Holborn Circus.

Confirmed. Tech failure rather than pilot error.

When approached for comment, the person who posted the footage on social media told The Independent: “Suck your mudda.”

Meanwhile, an email has emerged this week, buried in thousands of U.S.
legal documents, that was sent by the prince in January 2015 to his

Living between RAF Northolt and HMS Warrior, (NATO HQ, Northwood/Watford way),

I hope they find these people soon:

TV news footage showed a big green shiny helicopter but not an Osprey.

We had three Chinooks circling over us in Walthamstow at around 10:00 this morning.

I can smell the burning every evening from my place and we're miles away from the closest fires...

The scary thing is it's been going on for weeks...

Lest we forget? Lest you've already forgotten.
