Andrew – by looking so bad – could make the top ranks of royalty look good. Alternatively, he’s a reminder that the whole show relies on the rest of us not looking too closely.
prospectmagazine.co.uk
He’s been mocked, disgraced, exposed and pilloried—and now further humiliated by a new biography. But instead of causing more embarrassment to the royal family, could it work in their favour?

“Civil disobedience on conscientious grounds has a long and honourable history in this country” -a law Lord jn a case defended by Keir Starmer in 2006. Now look.
