Granny Danger Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 IMO there’s a very good chance of a settlement before this goes to trial. It will be humiliating for the whole of the royal family but it might be the best that they can hope for and I would bet that no criminal charges will follow. Giuffre just wants lots of money and will agree to not make any comment or disclose who much she is paid. Betty will pop her clogs, her moronic son will finally take over and the whole thing will be swept aside by the establishment in a wave of patriotic euphoria. That said in the era of social media the story will be kept alive. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles might be a bit less inclined to throw money at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Reading a Grauniad article on Maxwell which went off on a tangent to inform us that one should throw away a box of tissues once it becomes half full - lifestyles of the rich and infamous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said "half empty". It could only become "half full" if you're filling it up, surely? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Personally I have no doubt that Giuffre is trying to get as much money out of this as possible but... fair fucks. She was sexually trafficked as a teenager. I don't begrudge her making a profit out of a horrific part of her life. Should abuse victims have to disavow any financial gain to be taken seriously? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt she'd like justice and revenge as well, but non disclosure is normally the main point of any pay off deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can interpret it any way you want. I don’t blame her for going after money, it’s all she can do in a civil case. If there’s a settlement then her not agreeing to comment will be part of that. Given your green dotting of another post confirms my suspicion that your beef is with me rather than the point I made.

Of course that's what you meant I'm not sure what post, or what dots you're referring to, however the fact that you're monitoring this stuff is all a wee bit sad. I think, like many others (on both sides of the debate) you've allowed the Covid-19 Thread a pretty sizeable space in your head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you’re referring to a completely unrelated thread suggests that it’s you that’s obsessed with it. You’re one of the posters I never thought I’d put on ignore but I’ll do so now. That will give you the last word; enjoy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose but if, as I expect, he settles out of court he can forget about getting the Admiral's uniform back on - in public anyway!
