"No, it's a little bit too soon yet"

 

[MattBackHome]

I think it's a little bit too soon yet for full forgiveness, but he's obviously hurting a lot and extremely regretful. Maybe in a few months?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Well the church does love a repentant sinner. He just needs to repent first though.

 

[jamie (not that one)]

Would we all be in the mood to forgive and move on if he were some scabby nonce from Patcham? Highly doubt it so why should we do it for Andrew?

Admitting what he had done would go some way to "making amends", not using ridiculous lies about not being able to sweat as your alibi.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Not for me, Clive.

Saw this in Hove recently. Referring to the £12m settlement at the start of the year I guess: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breaking-prince-andrew-settlement-dukes-26238328

Perhaps he hasn't personally, he has not admitted to anything and we live in a land where you are innocent until proven guilty but hanging around and being friends with two convicted sex offenders was undesirable to say the least so he has made errors of judgement.

Would you pay £12m to somebody you claim never to have met for something you claim you never did?

Wouldn't you say "Don't know her. Didn't do it" and be on the first plane out to the US to defend yourself? After all, if he never met her it is impossible that there would be evidence against him. Join the dots!!

No. He is a paedo. I have no capacity to forgive those that abuse children.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Also known as the Duke of Pork.....
A waste of of a life form, IMO of course.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Cost of living crisis, a war, looming food shortages, and we have to spend 4 days celebrating the most entitled family in the world as well as forgive a paedo. **** that.

I don't think there is any suggestion that he has had sex with anyone under 17. Is there?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

He's hardly a credit to the realm.

I'd Get Rid and boot him out.

 

[Hamilton]

I don't think there is any suggestion that he has had sex with anyone under 17. Is there?

His association with Epstein might suggest otherwise.

[Stato]

I'll give it a bit of leeway as it screens 'It's A Wonderful Life' every Christmas.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Archbishop of Canterbury has ballsed this up big time. He has failed to read the room. and - moreover - probably increased the hatred for the man by reminding us of him on this, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Half the country haven't forgiven Charles over Diana and that is 25 years on, so Andrew has no chance.

Should be sent somewhere far away never to be seen again in public

Perhaps an island. Owned by a rich friend.

He'd love that.

 

[zefarelly]

A bloke high up in an organisation full of nonces standing up for a nonce? Who'd have thought.

The A of C should know better.

First rule on nonce club is don't talk about nonce club

As ever, Basildon's finest captures the nation's mood...NSFW

Edit: just noticed that as the URL contained a swear, it got the **** treatment and so didn't work. I've swapped it to a tinyurl so it should now be OK.
