@cstross
I can't help thinking he is being used as a distraction from people guilty of more/worse crimes mentioned in the Epstein files
@Nibor4000 @cstross fortunately we can deal with more than one bastard at a time.

@cstross is it even a monarchy if the people can't execute a monarch when they're total shit or the crops are failing (or both)

@cstross bretaña, mañana, séra republicana
@dgold If the King handles this properly (for PR values of "properly") it'll keep England a monarchy for at least another generation. (Scotland is already majority republican.)

@masek They got him on the *easy to prove* charge. Others may follow. I suspect he'll get the full Rolf Harris treatment, whenever the King needs to throw the proles another cookie.
@cstross Love your optimism

Holy shit:
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested and in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office
Andrew arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office as King says 'law must take its course' - live updates
It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein.

I love that in the BBC report of the police statement, the police say that they are not naming the suspect and care should be taken by publications so as not to appear in contempt of court, immediately followed by the link you just posted in bold

Both.
Admittedly swift action over the Epstein business is the only way to save the British monarchy at this point in time. Anything Epstein is radioactive kryptonite to the King, and the monarchy was already in big trouble as the halo of deference conferred by his late mother's longevity dissipated. (*She* was a national institution and symbol of unity: he's just a stuffy old billionaire in a fancy hat.)

@cstross <nods> The _in custody_ was the bit that most surprised me most earlier

@cstross these later seasons of The Crown are getting a bit unbelievable.

@cstross well that's one way to evict an unwanted tenant...

@cstross
What’s with the repeated use of adjectives consistently and strenuous, but no mention of vile, treasonous or lecherous -
Both.

Look, give him another sixty years and he'll be an equally hallowed institution.
... and a serious concern to those wondering how he's still going.

@GF493D body-shaming? Blocked.

@deborahh
I know about libel, but they don’t need to use positive adjectives either -
