UK Embassy Guards Beg For Their Lives

Guards at the British Embassy in Kabul are pleading for their lives after allegedly being told that they’re unsuitable for rescue because they were hired through an outsourced contractor.

Most of the 125 person team of security personnel got letters explaining they weren’t suitable for help because they weren’t directly employed by Her Majesty’s Government.

Security for all British embassies globally was outsourced decades ago.

The guards at the Embassy in Kabul are employed by security firm GardaWorld. Meanwhile, personnel who were doing the same work for the now-closed US Embassy under a separate GardaWorld contract have been evacuated, and others are getting assistance from the Americans.

The guards are now pleading with the British Government to review its decision to refuse their applications, and one said to a newspaper outlet that they served in frontline positions, doing the most dangerous job to keep British officials safe. That they endangered their lives for them, and now they discover themselves in this unfavourable situation, not just them, but their families are at risk as well.

The allegations are expected to put British ministers under further pressure to redouble efforts to evacuate as many people as possible, and it follows reports of rescue flights leaving Afghanistan with just a few people on board, while thousands of people struggle outside the airport as they attempt to flee the threat of persecution under the new Taliban regime.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace insisted that Britain is using every space imaginable on its rescue flights and emphasised every hour counts in the evacuation effort, and he added that Western forces are working to ensure not a single seat is wasted.

According to a newspaper outlet at least one RAF jet had been forced to leave Afghanistan half empty because Taliban militants were refusing to let people get to the airport, and several British Embassy guards told the paper that after helping British diplomats get to Kabul airport on Saturday night, they were told by phone that their services were no longer provided, and were asked to hand back computers, body armour and radios.

Nearly all 160 GardaWorld employees working on the British Embassy contract applied for help from the Ministry of Defence run Afghan relocations and assistance policy, intended to help people working for UK organisations, and all except 21 translators were rejected last month.

According to a newspaper outlet, they received letters explaining they weren’t eligible because they weren’t directly employed by Her Majesty’s Government, and it seems that this government is morally bankrupt and an outright disgrace.

These security guards were not working for the British Government, they were working for a private security company, hence the government think they can now simply wash their hands of any responsibility because the government have no obligation whatsoever to these people, of course, that was the whole point of hiring them in the first place, and who in their right mind after this pantomime would work for this government abroad?

But the government will now have blood on its hands, and politicians should be imprisoned for this, and it looks as if the British embassy is the worst in the world. They’re not there to help their own people, they’re there to help themselves.

However, GardaWorld is a private Canadian security company, and they should have had a strategy to liberate their workers from hazardous situations like this, and next time, because there will be a next time, we deploy people to help it will be far more difficult to get that help if they’re being recruited unaware that they will be left behind in the battle.

Trump Supporter, 49, Who Threatened Capitol

The fan of former President Donald Trump who threatened the Library of Congress on Capitol Hill with a pretended bomb has been revealed to be an enthusiastic gun collector from North Carolina with issues who recently lost his mum.

Floyd Ray Roseberry, 49, drove his black pickup truck onto the footpath outside the Library of Congress, opposite the Capitol building at around 9.15 am on Thursday while demanding to talk to President Joe Biden.

Floyd Ray Roseberry called 911, reporting that he had a tennerite bomb, and live-streamed his five-hour standoff with the United States Capitol Police on Facebook before he finally surrendered shortly before 2.30 pm.

During the Facebook Livestream, which has since been removed, Floyd Ray Roseberry claimed he had a tannerite bomb and that the revolution was here while whining about the outcome of the 2020 election.

He also called for airstrikes in Afghanistan to kick the Taliban’s backside.

Cops combed Floyd Ray Roseberry’s vehicle and said that they didn’t find a bomb, but did collect some possible bomb-making materials and a propane gas container.

Details about Floyd Ray Roseberry had started to emerge after his surrender to police earlier on Thursday.

His ex-wife, Crystal Roseberry, said she’d seen images of the man in the standoff at the Capitol and confirmed to the Associated Press that it was her ex-husband.

She said she’d never known him to have explosives, but that he was an avid collector of firearms.

Crystal Roseberry told a newspaper outlet that she was married to Floyd Ray Roseberry for ten years, but that their marriage ended because he had a volatile disposition, although she added that he’d never done anything like this before.

Tom Lynch, an editor with WRC-TV, tweeted that he’d spoken with Floyd Ray Roseberry’s wife, though it wasn’t immediately clear if he spoke with Crystal or if he’d remarried, and that Roseberry’s wife had told him that her husband left North Carolina and that he was going on a fishing trip.

She said that her husband had been upset about the result of the Presidential election and voted for the first time in his life for President Trump, and Tom Lynch added that Roseberry’s wife said that her husband had recently struggled with mental health problems and had recently changed medication.

The Cleveland County Sherriff’s Office confirmed they were at Roseberry’s Glover, North Carolina home with FBI agents.

Of course, it’s all about Donald Trump again, because no one ever seems to be labelled a Joe Biden supporter, but there must be supporters out there because that’s apparently how he got elected, but then unlike Trumpets, Joe Biden supporters don’t make the news since they don’t storm the US Capital and defecate throughout the building or threaten to set off a bomb in DC.

But it’s okay, we can now relax knowing that the Federal Bureau of imbeciles (FBI) are on it!

Floyd Ray Roseberry liked to collect guns, that doesn’t make him a criminal just because he liked guns. All he did that was illegal was that he tried to make a point by using a fake bomb, along with a couple of mental health issues, and needs some sort of help.

It was said that this man was a keen gun collector, well, that’s about half of the US then.

Tannerite on its own can’t be used as a bomb, it requires a high-velocity projectile to detonate it, and because it’s sold as separate components which aren’t themselves explosive, it’s not regulated by the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and can be transported and sold in numerous places without the legal restrictions that apply to explosives, so really the only crime that Roseberry did was to say that he had a bomb when he didn’t, and it was a threat that he was not going to carry out.

Taliban Are Accused Of Burning Down Amusement Park

The Taliban has been accused of burning down an amusement park in northern Afghanistan because it had idol-worshipping statues as their moderate facade crumbles.

The jihadists torched the recreation grounds in the northern city of Sheberghan which were also used for holding sports and cultural events for children.

Sheberghan is in th heartlands of the vanquished strongman Abdul Rashid Dostum whose opulent home was seized by the jihadists when he escaped over the border into Uzbekistan on Saturday.

According to local reports the Taliban had objected to statues inside the grounds of the amusement park which they claimed were idol-worshipping under their radical interpretation of Islam.

This is despite the so-called Taliban 2.0 putting up a sophisticated PR front for the world’s media, with numerous representatives saying that the Taliban of today are quite different to that of 20 years ago.

But the terror which they strike into the heart’s of the masses, some of which readily endanger their lives by clambering onto moving planes, refutes their claims.

In Kabul, they’ve been kicking down the doors of civil servants, teachers and interpreters who worked for foreign governments, and one man said his neighbour in Kabul had been seized and the fighters said they were going to hang him.

A female mayor in the city has revealed that she was just waiting for the Taliban to come and kill her.

And across the country, there are chilling reports of Taliban fighters marauding the streets, pursuing girls as young as twelve years old that they can make into their sex slaves, and chaos still reigns at Kabul airport where thousands arrived to seek and gain safe passage to neighbouring countries and the West.

A newspaper outlet said that ex-pats and visa holders were unable to get anywhere near the airport because enormous flocks of terrified locals were blocking the way.

This was despite American and British lawmakers insisting Taliban guards were letting people through checkpoints and planes were not taking off empty.

Videos captured snapshots of the chaos as gunmen fired shots over the heads of panicked crowds while hitting people with rifles, as those on the ground said Taliban fighters were dishing out beatings and lashings apparently at random, with people being trampled and crushed in the throng.

Paul ‘Pen’ Farthing, a former Marine who now lives in Kabul with his wife, called the scene a clusterf***, telling a newspaper outlet that two ex-pats, one British and one Norwegian, had already been forced to turn back because they couldn’t get through.

Just imagine living in a society where you see no women and men burn down areas that are meant for children to have fun, and it appears they’re thousands of years behind the rest of the world.

I’d say welcome to the Stone Age, but the Stone Age had paintings and culture, these people have none, and sadly their illiterate nature and absurd doctrine are penetrated into their minds at a very young age, and they will seemingly never change, and even education won’t help them because they’ve thought like this for centuries, and they don’t seem to possess any shame.

No music, no dancing, no pleasure, no joy, but this is what happens when a religion is only concerned with the afterlife and not the here and now, and it seems that under their understanding of their scriptures, statues are forbidden but killing people and raping little girls is okay, what a messed up set of beliefs they have.

Now No 10 Drops Its Pensions Promise

Downing Street yesterday abandoned its commitment to the pensions triple lock, in the most obvious sign yet that the Tory manifesto pledge is about to be broken.

No 10 recently insisted it remained official policy amid concerns that rising earnings growth would trigger a record hike in the payment, but the Prime Minister’s official spokesperson declined to say if he would still guarantee a yearly rise by the highest of either wage growth, inflation or 2.5 per cent.

With the first-quarter earnings up 8.8 per cent a year ago, when they fell as workers were furloughed or had their hours cut due to the pandemic, pensioners could get £822 more in 2022.

The spokesperson said that no decisions had been made, and that the triple lock remains, but that they recognise the genuine concerns about the potential artificially inflated earnings impacting the future uprating of pensions.

Experts believe ministers will attempt to fudge the problem by basing the increase on inflation or a two-year figure for wage growth ignoring distortions caused by COVID.

Jon Greer, of wealth management company Quilter, said it would be right to correct the earnings growth anomaly.

Former pensions minister Sir Steve Webb, partner at the consultancy LCP, said the question was whether the move was temporary, adding that most people would understand a one year change, and to get rid of it forever would be a transgression of faith in the manifesto.

The figures due to determine next year’s pensions increase will be announced next month, showing the latest levels of inflation and earnings growth.

If the triple lock were maintained and based on wage growth for the three months to July, it would point to a record boost that could force the state pension over £10,000 a year.

This is because earnings growth is compared with the level between May and June of the past year, and in 2020 it fell because the pandemic saw millions of workers put on furlough or having their hours cut.

Of course, there’s never a deficiency of money for our rubber dinghy visitants, but of course, we shouldn’t be envious of those who have nothing because compared to them we apparently live a safe, prosperous life, and those people only have the clothes that they wear.

And we shouldn’t have a problem with genuine people escaping oppression, however, having freeloaders travelling through numerous safe countries just to get handouts is not on, and don’t overlook that half a million pound each year to store their rubber dinghies in case they might come to claim their boat, and this crass stupidity of this once magnificent country has become laughable all the world over.

Of course, the people setting policy are not in the needy bracket either, they will never be affected, and it seems that Boris Johnson is full of broken promises, and this has become a stinking rotting government, and they should stop giving people’s pensions away, and should be spending it on British national’s that were born here.

There’s never any shortage of money for illegals and now the Afghans, but then perhaps we shouldn’t be meddling in other people’s nations, and we must separate those in desperate need of protection to those who consciously decided to enter illegally to soak off everyone else.

It’s also essential to honour pledges and not downgrade the most vulnerable age group after years of paying in and building up the country.

Boris Johnson has gone for gold this time with the lowest pensions, and if he were going in for the Olympics for how dysfunctional this Tory government is, then he would definitely win the gold.

Decision On Britain’s COVID Booster Vaccine Programme Could Be Made Today

No 10’s top vaccine advisory group will meet today to consider whether or not all Britons should be offered booster COVID vaccines this autumn.

Health chiefs said a decision is expected imminently, with experts now trying to agree on precisely who will need a top-up jab, but one adviser on the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, which guides ministers on the rollout, hinted that only a fraction of the population, the most vulnerable will be offered boosters.

Professor Adam Finn warned more evidence was needed before the panel could make a sound decision on a much broader booster programme, and he said giving third doses to entire age groups wouldn’t make very much difference in the battle against the virus.

Meanwhile, the US yesterday confirmed that top-up jabs would be available for all over 18s from September 20, and it appears that the British Government want to follow suit and has set out plans to dish out boosters at the same time as the flu vaccine at the start of next month, but ministers won’t press ahead with any move until they obtain advice from the JCVI.

Experts have questioned whether top-ups are even needed yet, saying there’s no real proof that protection given by two doses has started to decline.

This is despite a major study today showing double jabbed Brits who catch the Delta COVID variant are just as likely to spread the virus as the unvaccinated.

A World Health Organisation boss yesterday compared booster rollouts to giving life jackets to people who already have them, while others drown.

The same argument, that additional doses should be given to third world countries, was used to argue against vaccinating children.

Professor Adam Finn told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that he thought there was enough evidence, and that he believed that they’ll be imminently deciding and that there will be some people who will need a third dose, especially people who they know will very unlikely be well protected by the first two doses.

But he said that they need more evidence before they can make a sound decision on a much broader booster programme, and he said that discussing the potential of expanding the vaccine rollout to all over 12s was difficult to predict which way that was going to go.

However, it doesn’t matter if they decide against boosters now, we all know that in a few weeks or a few months they will reverse that decision and they will go ahead anyhow because they just can’t make their minds up and it appears that they’re just as whimsical as a child.

And also, if they do decide to just give the vaccines to the vulnerable, once most of them have the boosters it will be extended to other groups and ultimately everyone, especially if you want your passports kept up to date.

Only the vulnerable would perhaps benefit from the vaccine, but if boosters are needed, it casts serious doubt on whether the vaccines work at all, but of course, big pharma wants to jab as many arms as possible because it equals profit, and what big pharma wants, big pharma gets, and all they see is money signs in their eyes.

We were told that two jabs would give immunity, and now it turns out that it doesn’t, so perhaps I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt so that they can stick my third jab in Boris Johnson’s plump rump!

Anger As Train Commuters Face Massive Fare Increases In A Decade

Rail commuters could be hit by the biggest fare increase in a decade with costs possibly being increased by up to 4.8 per cent next year.

The increase, which has yet to be confirmed, could see the average annual season ticket cost increase by £150 to £3,295 for passengers.

Increases are normally linked to the previous July’s Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation, which was confirmed as 3.8 per cent for July 2021 by the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday.

No announcement has been made on what will happen to fares next year, but ticket costs in England and Wales increased by an average of about 2.6 per cent in March, representing RPI for July 2020 plus one percentage point.

Critics called the possible increase eye-watering while campaigners called for fares to be frozen in a bid to encourage commuters back onto trains after the pandemic.

The Scottish Government imposed smaller increases of 1.6 per cent and 0.6 per cent for peak and off-peak travel respectively.

A repeat of the policy in England and Wales next year would see fares increase by an average of 4.8 per cent, which would be the biggest increase since 2012.

That would lead to hikes in the price of annual season tickets such as:

  • Brighton to London (any route): Up £245 to £5,353
  • Liverpool to Manchester (any route): Up £132 to £2,892
  • Neath to Cardiff: Up £89 to £1,941

If the increase goes ahead, the average annual season ticket price could increase by £150 to £3,925 for passengers.

Overall prices will have to increase by £1,100 or 50 per cent in just over a decade.

The highest increase is predicted to be on a season ticket between Birmingham and London Euston which could cost
£12,044 next year, an increase of £4,016 since 2010.

Public transport fares in London are set to be increased by 4.8 per cent in January, under the terms of the UK Government’s bailout of Transport for London which said that RPI plus one percentage point must be used.

Rises in fares for mainline rail services across Britain are controlled by the UK, Scottish and Welsh governments.

A spokesperson for the UK Government’s Department for Transport said that no decision had been made on national rail fares and that the Government was viewing a description of options and they would announce their decision in due course.

Rail fares are usually increased every January, but the coronavirus pandemic meant this year’s increase was delayed until March 1.

It’s no wonder why people aren’t rushing back to the office, but then maybe that’s partly the reason for the fee increase – fewer passengers, more high-priced fees, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they intend to cut the number of trains per hour – people certainly won’t be giving their vehicles up anytime soon.

And the problem we have with rising rail fares is that they go up but nothing ever seems to get better. They’re usually dirty, the seats are stained and uncomfortable, and even with the greatly diminished capacity, they’re crowded at peak times and completely lawless with no crew onboard to check tickets or keep some semblance of order.

People used to enjoy a day out on the train, but with the price hikes, they just couldn’t afford it now because it’s become an overpriced service that’s rapidly getting worse, and yet the government are trying to encourage us to use public transportation.

And some of us are old enough to remember when it was more affordable to catch the train than travel by car, and considering the rate that fuel is currently rising, that’s quite the achievement.

Someone Neglected To Photoshop His Watch!

Critics have accused Boris Johnson of marking an 11 am one-minute silence for the Plymouth shooting victims late after spotting that his wristwatch said the time was 11.14 am.

A picture was posted to the Prime Minister’s official Twitter page which said Boris Johnson observed a minute’s silence at 11 am as a sign of respect for the five people killed by Plymouth shooter Jake Davison last week.

But eagle-eyed social media users were keen to point out that, although the clock in the background said 11 am, Boris Johnson’s wristwatch showed the time was 11.14 am.

The error provoked a surge of critique from social media users with one writing that someone neglected to photoshop his watch or was he going to tell everyone that he likes putting his watch 14 minutes fast.

Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker added that it was incredible and that Boris Johnson’s wristwatch was a dead giveaway that this wasn’t taken at 11 am, despite the clock in the background.

Another added that at 11.14 am, according to his watch, he wound the clock back and paused for this photo op, but a Downing Street official insisted that the Prime Minister’s watch was running fast and that the minute’s silence was held at 11 am.

Writer Tracy King added she would go with the Prime Minister setting his watch forward by 15 minutes to ensure he’s not late for any meetings.

There has been a heartfelt plea for change as hundreds gathered in Plymouth to pay their respects to the five people killed in one of the UK’s worst mass shootings.

Community leaders, spiritual figures, lawmakers, emergency service workers and the military joined about 200 people outside the Guildhall in Plymouth city centre to hold a one minute’s silence.

They gathered to mourn and reflect on last week’s devastating events when gunman Jake Davison, 22, launched his killing spree in the Keyham area of the city.

Jake Davison shot his 51-year-old mother Maxine Davison, also known as Maxine Chapman, at a house in Biddick Drive before he went into the street and shot dead Sophie Martyn, aged three, and her father, Lee Martyn, 43.

In the 12 minute attack, Jake Davison then killed Stephen Washington, 59, in a nearby park before shooting 66-year-old Kate Shepherd, who later died at Derriford Hospital.

In Keyham people gathered in North Down Crescent park, the scene of Friday’s night vigil, to hold their own tribute.

Perhaps Boris Johnson was trying to time travel, or maybe this is just a sign that his time is up.

And don’t forget that this puppet always puts on a show for the masses because to him the whole world is his stage.

All that I can imagine is this man getting up in the morning to quickly scruff up his hair, and he still never gets where he’s going on time – I’m surprised he hasn’t got a mickey mouse watch to go with his hair because both would be equally entertaining, and if this is the best Britain can do in terms of a Prime Minister, I’d hate to imagine what the worst could be!

Perhaps they should have photoshopped Boris out and left the watch.

He stood there attempting to show respect for the dead, but what’s more important is that there were people out there that genuinely did want to show respect, and him standing there wasn’t going to make anyone feel any better because there was a photo of him standing there.

Nando’s Runs Out Of Chicken

Nando’s has had to close a number of its establishments and cancel its delivery options after staffing problems at its supply factories caused significant food deficits.

The popular chicken chain has become the latest restaurant to see its supply chain struck down during the pingdemic after staff shortages.

Nando’s has said it will provide 70 workers to its supplier’s factories to temporarily restore normal levels of food deliveries and reopen its affected establishments.

The company has been notifying customers online that its current shortages have been created by staff isolation periods and suppliers struggling to keep up with demand.

Dissatisfied customers took to social media to bemoan their lack of chicken, as Nando’s said the small number of its 968 establishments that remain closed are set to reopen once deliveries arrive.

The news comes just days after KFC chiefs declared a nationwide supply warning after blaming disruption for causing a lack of availability for some of its menu items.

A Nando’s spokesperson told a newspaper outlet that the UK food industry had been experiencing disruption across its supply chain in recent weeks due to staff shortages and that a number of their establishments had been affected.

However, they could confirm that Nando’s would be lending seventy of their excellent team members to support their key suppliers, working in partnership to help get things rolling again, and that they expect this to have a positive impact on the affected restaurants soon, and that customers should bear with them whilst they do everything they can to get their legendary PERi-PERi chicken back where it belongs – on everyone’s plates!

The restaurant chain uses Avara, Moy Park and 2 Sisters Food Group to supply its stores with chicken.

Nando’s hasn’t yet confirmed the specific items affected by stock deficits, or when the disruption is expected to end.

According to their website, at least 25 restaurants across the United Kingdom are closed as a result of supply chain problems, and pictures taken in the metropolis showed the Clapham Nando’s closed, with a sign posted on its front door to customers saying that they were closed because of stock supply issues affecting trade.

One person shared a snapshot of an attempted order on Deliveroo being cancelled because the Bradford Leisure Exchange restaurant wasn’t taking orders.

Many other customers took to Twitter to complain of restaurant closures and menu modifications, which were blamed on unforeseen circumstances, but for those clucking for Nando’s, you might have to keep abreast of its progress, otherwise, they’ll end up spitting feathers.

But at least Nando’s is helping by fixing the problem and sharing staff, which keeps them busy and at work, and keeps the system going, which was good thinking and encouraged them to move forward, rather than just shutting shop completely.

The Pingdemic Is Finally Over

Sajid Javid called for a careful restoration to normality as the self-isolation rules that sparked the pingdemic were subsequently eased.

And for those who’ve been double jabbed and under 18s will no longer be required to isolate for ten days if they’re pinged by the NHS app or contacted by the Test and Trace service.

It’s one of the biggest moves the country has taken on the road back to normality, and the Health Secretary said the successful vaccine rollout has enabled the Government to relax rules that had forced millions to isolate themselves at home, crushing businesses and schools.

However, Sajid Javid and other health experts proceeded to urge caution, and he said that the British public had played an important role following self-isolation rules during the pandemic, sacrificing so much to help bring the virus under restraint.

He said that the requirement for double jabbed and under 18s who are contacts of people with COVID 19 had been removed as they take another step back towards normality, thanks to the success of the vaccine rollout.

Yesterday, 26,750 coronavirus cases were recorded as well as another 61 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.

It comes as scientists warned that as the double vaccinated can still catch and pass on COVID, relaxation of the rules would unavoidably lead to more infections.

Professor Lawrence Young, of Warwick Medical School, said that it was necessary to understand that the virus was still circulating in the population and that the more infectious Delta variant has altered the equation.

And Dr Peter English, former chairman of the BMA public health medicine committee, said there will now be more infections in under 18s and added that given that they don’t yet completely understand the long term consequences of COVID 19 infection, this was a tremendous gamble.

The NHS app was started in September last year and it tells users if their smartphones have been near someone who has tested positive for COVID, but as lockdowns lifted and the Delta variant spread, the app led to the chaos that was dubbed the pingdemic.

In the week of July 21, a record 689,313 people in England and Wales were told to isolate.

The pingdemic caused such huge staff shortages, leading to empty shop shelves and cancelled trains, that the Government had to exempt key workers from the rules, including those in the food industry and those working on public transport.

There were a lot of people of course, that never got pinged because they didn’t download the app. And is the pandemic really over, or will Sajid Javid just backtrack come October and November with the colder weather coming? Because of course, big government is more dangerous than any virus.

And now because of them, numerous businesses are going down the swanny, along with our GP service that now isn’t available to the public, unless it’s over the telephone – the whole world has gone crazy now.

Hospital waiting lists are so extensive in the waiting time that people will have to wait years for an appointment, which is great for the government because now they’re banking on people going private for their treatment, just so they can convince us that private is the way to go, and way better than the NHS.

But many people voted for the Tories, who then cut public services to the bone, and then those people dared to complain about it, and it seems that common sense has gone out of the window. It went out of the window two years ago, but the biggest problem is we’ve enabled it to happen, with all this mainstream media who are economical with the truth, what hope is there?

Prince Andrew’s Lawyers Could Attempt To Claim Diplomatic Immunity

It’s been claimed that Prince Andrew’s legal team could attempt to get the sex abuse allegations against him by a victim of Jeffrey Epstein thrown out of court by stating he had diplomatic immunity because he was a trade envoy at the time.

Top US lawyer Spencer Kuvin suggested that Prince Andrew’s legal team may claim the Duke of York, who was a trade envoy in 2001, when Virginia Giuffre claimed that he raped and sexually violated her, had immunity in America.

Spencer Kuvin, who represents some of the convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, made the claim as friends of Prince Andrew said the royals were cheerful and relaxed over the bombshell case in the US and would remain silent.

The Duke held the position of special representative for international trade and investment for the United Kingdom for a decade from 2001 until 2011, after taking it up when he left active military service in the Royal Navy.

This means Prince Andrew could be protected under the 1978 Diplomatic Relations Act in the US because he was working for the UK Government in America at the time, and not because he’s a member of the Royal Family.

Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is said to have had no intention of altering course and wasn’t panicking about Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit launched in New York last week. The Duke is currently at Balmoral visiting his mother the Queen with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

Spencer Kuvin told a newspaper outlet that Virginia Giuffre’s lawyers have enormous hurdles to defeat to get her lawsuit anywhere near a jury, and if the Duke engages in the case at all, his legal team will unquestionably file a motion to dismiss the complaint on various grounds, and for sure, they would claim diplomatic immunity, and they would have a powerful case.

A friend told a newspaper outlet that his legal team always anticipated this and have prepared, and they advised the Duke to keep calm and carry on and he’s taking their advice, and the legal process could go on for years and that he will respond if required to by law.

I’m sure he’s not sweating it, although he could be petting it!

And he couldn’t have made himself look more guilty if he tried by invoking diplomatic immunity.

What does he have to hide, perhaps we will never know? On the other hand, it might all come out in the wash, but quite frankly he doesn’t have the cojones to face the music, and this wasn’t what diplomatic immunity was intended for, and is this the best his legal team can come up with – how about answering the questions if he’s so innocent?

And in staying silent, he’s making himself look so guilty, and I can wager the two things he isn’t, and that’s calm and cheerful, and of course, good lawyers will always find loopholes, and if Prince Andrew thinks that claiming diplomatic immunity is his get out of jail card, then perhaps he should go down that road because you just know that he will get away with it, and he will just ride the storm.

His lawyers will find any loophole that they can, and rightly so, they’re his lawyers and this is what they’re supposed to do best, but, likely, he won’t appear at very many events now, yet the self-righteous obnoxious man will continue to live a good life even if he has to remain in the background.
