@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

@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)

@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

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.)

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.
