i think he's a waste of space and a pork beast.......

Heartfelt yes.

I haven't read the weekend's papers yet cologne

But I will say that I have always thought that he and his ex-wife deserve each other

He is certainly not doing himself any favours..

unlike most on here, I don't hate the Royal Family..    I even like some of them 

But I have always thought that Prince Andrew was a waste of rations

I can get you access.

Should we call you "The Duchess"

How much?

An absolute waste of space and an embarrassment to the country.  If he was a politician he'd have been sacked ages ago.  It's not so long ago that Andrew's performance in the job was described as arrogant and obnoxious (or similar) and now we learn of his unsavoury connections with a wealthy peadophile. 

There must be better people to perform this quite important function than a silver spooned oaf of limited intellect!

Cameron says he has full confidence in Andrew, yeah, bet he has!  Cameron hardly wants a war of words with the Palace before the great show-piece wedding/diversion from ConDem slash and burn.

I don't hate the Royal Family either, but seeing the news tonight, complete with a picture of him with his arm round a 17 year old at the house of the convicted paedophile makes me really doubt that this Government still knows the plot. I, for one, would not deal with a person like that, why should very religious countries still want to?

I don't hate the Royal Family, as they're only human beings.  They're not tyrants or particularly nasty people.  I think the institution should be scrapped because I don't believe that feudal concepts of class have any place in the 19th century never mind the 21st.

I'm quite interested in the concept of feudal class. Particularly in a country where Bankers earn obscene amounts of money, and thick footballers slightly less so.

I don't know the ins and outs of his role but like I said last night; anyone, let alone a public figure, who keeps a friendship with a convicted paedophile isn't someone I would want anywhere near my personage, let alone representing the country I live in.

Oh silly me forgot, we are under Tory law so any dignity or self-respect is not part of the plan *slaps forehead*

He is 'friendly' with many Saudi princes, so....     

I like the Royals but when I see him and Fergie alls I see is greed....

I like the Royal family and think they should stay, but Andy's shenanigans leave a lot to be desired just lately.  As for the comments by some - not aimed at anyone on here - they may make eff-ups and act a bit OTT or a bit badly sometimes, but they are actually just human, as someone said earlier, and the constant attacks on them are tedious IMO.  And even though they are 'supposed' to behave, they are bound to slip up now and again.  Thing is, 'some Royals have always been behaving appallingly for many centuries now; far worse than ours today.  I think they should definately stay, and actually think they do a lot more good for this country than people think.  That's my opinion anyway. 

I like the royal family but not all of them and Andrew is one of them I dont like..

Dont actually know what Andrew does, but this latest poo he has got himself into, is not what the country needs right now, and must be embarressing for his family too. No wonder he and his ex get on so well, they are from the same mould.

Him and his ex...a pair of freeloaders,can't stand them.

I'm with you cologne, how our government can continue to endorse him is shocking....not to mention shameful.
Add to that the way the middle east situation has been handled  makes 'holding your head up' very difficult.  A once proud country being let down by those who should be doing the opposite.

Surely you have it the wrong way around.

Gravy train.

Nice work if you can get it  if you're born into it.

Lovely man. Plays off one.

You really don't want me on my soapbox regarding that one!

The idiot is a plonker and always has been....

So Andy volunteered to do this job,he is the best paid volunteer ever.
He flies all over the world,stays in the best Hotels,and how lucky is he that there is usually a major golf tournament taking place at the same time..

 

He experiences life and those he meets and deals with on a totally different level to us. He won't resign or be asked to by Cameron or anyone else who wants to stay in favour with the Monarchy. With what he does it's all you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours...to use a phrase lol. If what he does fetches trade to the uk I guess that's a good thing, what he has to do to accomplish that is up to his conscious which I don't envy him having. Personally I've no interest in the Royal Family, would it be worse if we had as heads of states what other countries have? in some cases yes maybe in some cases definitely no for countries that have despots ruling the people.

Of course Cameron will stick by him as he is a member of the Royal family. He has cost the taxpayer thousands with his helicopter jaunts etc. Of course he has done a good job when Brit firms are moving operations abroad, and as it seems best friends ( as well as his EX ) with a paedo. He costs the taxpayer shedloads of money each year being a Royal, whereas someone with the right qualifications ( having recently been made redundant ) could do the same job at a fraction of the cost.

Exactly- his past record on "freebies " should have ruled him out of this post- We need someone who knows about British Industry, not some nobility who will get sucked up to just for who he is and not for the industry he is trying to sell.

I think Prince Andrew is a ████

This post had been redacted for legal purposes.

I truely agree with you cologne regarding that idiot prince andrew but I rather suspect that abuse of power is cultural wide and not liimited to the peculiarities of the british and their royal family.

skanky sponger, him and his ex wife.. just go away
