Prince Andrew should be Stripped off his Title, even if he is the Queen’s son.

He should be retired or sent to exile. The whole fiasco is appalling. To think he has the cheek to come back is unacceptable. The Queen should get tough and get this and take tougher action.

Prince Andrew Interview – An Advert for Republicans wanting a Head of State

As an English republican, the interview was something I have been waiting for years.

Having watched the royals for years, his behaviour, comes as no surprise. I have always wondered why they have mixed with certain people, in most cases, these people would come with ‘Red Flags’.

Most people with sense would not have done the interview, but Prince Andrew arrogantly thought he would charm his way out of the Epstein mess. As his PR advisor resigned, having warned him not do so so, he just went right ahead with all his inconsistancies and gaslighting comments.

As a royal, we cannot kick him out. We didn’t elect these people like more democratic countries.

And now he is out of the picture, ‘temporarily’; hopefully this means, we won’t have to pay him a bean. With luck, let’s hope Buckingham Palace makes this permanent and he gets sent into exile. However, it also means I think, that the royals will be watched a lot more, including what sort of people they are mixing with. Even the royalists will be clocking them more. It is risky when one is a Patron of reputable organisations and charitiesn, now one of them has gone too far.

Organisations, with sense, have chosen to withdraw support for his schemes and Patronages. Apparently, even my bank, Barclays. In fact, this is quite brave of them as they often covert any form of royal patronages, even if a royal was been seen as a hypocrite.When there is sex involved, organisations are even more disgusted.

I know one charity who is looking for a Patron, and I wonder now if they will be put off having a male royal patron, and maybe opt for no patron at all, sticking to something safe.

Even hardcore royalists in my family are shocked by his interview and behaviour.

The interview was very refreshing to see and I hope we get more royals doing more interviews. It was a very good thing that he went ahead and did it, although it would have made more sense, for him to speak to the FBI first.

Remembrance Sunday 2019: Tooting, SW London

A small crowd of people turned up for Remembrance Sunday at St Nicholas’ Church in Tooting, South West London today.

They were mostly christian couples with small kids, a few elderly people, war veterans, some politicians, and a handful of Tooting non-Christians. Christians read out the religious hymns in the leaflet.The last post was played out.

In the 2011 census the population of Tooting was 16,239 but the majority preferred to be out shopping or doing something else. Most people were seen in Tooting not wearing a poppy, whether red or white to remember ancestors round the world who had fought and died in the war. It was just a normal shopping or DIY day to them.

Many local businesses and pubs didn’t sell poppies which made it harder to even get hold of a poppy, some businesses didn’t know it was Remembrance Day, and one shop assistant, said ‘Poppy?’ I don’t understand’, when asked if they sold poppies.

Kent: Weekday Pickpocketing gangs target lone older women in Tonbridge charity shops in Pre-Christmas Crime Fest

An elderly women was robbed in a charity shop in Tonbridge High Street in the early afternoon of Monday, 4 November. She was followed from the bank on 4th November, which is a classic tactic used by criminal gangs.

Just the previous week, a middle-aged woman was targeted in another Tonbridge charity shop, once again, in the early afternoon during the week. The thief was seen trying to pick up one of her bags by the bookshelves, but the vigilant women spotted the thief just in time. The unsuccessful thief was a smart white woman in her 30s with blonde hair in a bun. She then gradually wormed her way slowly out of the shop and was then spotted going into Poundstretchers.
