He bought off the child he trafficked for sex with our money and we're not allowed to be unhappy about that?

It's a point, but not a good one, the settlement was millions, way above what most would be able to afford, his just dead mum bought his way out of a civil prosecution as that was the only way to get anything to stick on the back of loads of revelations about large scale noncing by his friends, all that money and power have lead to him being above the law for what should have been, I'm sure many, criminal prosecutions.

What he did was the very definition of a protest, just because it doesn't meet your personal criteria doesn't change that.

The family share responsibility by the very fact of being part of the institution that will happily pay Andrews hush money and say nothing, but ultimately it is us that have actually paid it so I'd say it's more than appropriate to say something about it.

And no, I'm not one to agree with celebrating someone's death but if we're being forced into collective morning to put us in our rightful place then they can put up with a few voices of dissent, if they don't like it the cunts should mourn in private.

In my time we had sheets and sheets of locations and items recorded so that things didn't get mislaid. But in training I've seen EOD dogs miss a kilo of real life semtex and on an actual live drugs search a dog missed about 50 kilos of nine bars. That's why you can't just search with a dog, it has to be backed up by a search team. The excuses by the dog handlers was the dog's sensory overload ie they're trained on small amounts so discounted the extremes. There's always a fucking excuse.

Noted, always carry loads of drugs.

Ha

Their reward was a tennis ball. All I learned was don't try and traffic tennis balls, they can find those fuckers a mile off.

Police dog handlers are really weird people.
The only good thing is their dogs tend to hurt the handlers more than the general public.

Wasn't the police force charged with investigating Andrew the same force who employed the officers who accompanied Andrew on his trips to the home of a convicted paedophile? Bit of a conflict there.

It is an unpleasant thing to live in an era where our police force, which is meant to serve the public “without fear or favour” refuses to look at the large amount of evidence pointing to the fact that King Charles’ brother was often staying right in the middle of Epstein and Maxwell’s abuse ring — and one of the proven victims of that ring is the accuser who ‘Prince’ Andrew paid a fortune to avoid facing in court. What makes it all the more galling this week is police have been arresting and the Crown Prosecution Service charging critics of the monarchy

I can't believe I'm defending this

Maybe don’t then?

Anyone else perversely hoping to see to video of the front of the coffin queues when they close?

They won't do it like that. They'll stop the queue at some point and let everyone in it go through

God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
A potential H bomb
God save the queen
She's not a human being
and There's no future
And England's dreaming
Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need
There's no future
No future
No future for you
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
'Cause tourists are money
And our figurehead
Is not what she seems
Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord God have mercy
All crimes are paid
Oh when there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers
In the dustbin
We're the poison
In your human machine
We're the future
Your future
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
We mean it man
There's no future
In England's dreaming God save the queen
No future
No future
No future for you
No future
No future
No future for me
No future
No future
No future for you

Farewell Queenie, famous for your corgis

Now we're stuck with your son, and like The Borg he's

Showing no emotion.

In that case I'll settle for seeing the people who aren't allowed to join the back of the queue after travelling a few hundred miles.

excellent

Off to Centre Parcs with the little one and the in-laws next week. Was already not massively looking forward to it but now Centre Parcs have emailed to say that they're screening the funeral in the sports bar so we can watch it before we check-in. Not even charging us. So thoughtful.

Which side will you be cheering on?

I think the pallbearers probably have a better chance than the Queen. She is dead after all. No magic sponge and half time orange slices are helping you come back from that.

screening the funeral in the sports bar

It's definitely what she would have wanted.

100%. Probably even part of operation London Bridge.

I dunno, Premier League physios seem to work miracles given how badly injured players appear to be when they go down.

Have they released the drinks deals yet?

SCRATCH THAT.

Email received - they're actually closing centre parcs for the day. FFS.

On the plus side, we get 30% refund but we also lose 20% of our holiday. Fuck knows what they're doing for people who are already staying there and not just checking in that day.

I was really looking forward to whizzing round the rapids whilst her maj was being buried.
