I don't know what to say about Andrew, partly because I don't know the extent of his guilt or innocence, and partly because I've really never understood the place of the royals in British society.

As to Prince Andrew, rightly or wrongly people are increasingly sceptical of his denials.

My mistake..I've got "impeachment" on my mind and I misread your post.

to give it a rest?

Presumably to spend more time at Pizza Express in Woking!

Are you in the UK now?

placed it in the UK forum, so that's who I thought I was reaching, but no.harm, no foul!

loud enought that I can hear them.
I listened to the portions on Stephanie Miller in real time.

and reading lots of stuff here and in other places

SO yeah, I'm following them

Gonna order Fiona Hill's masterpiece on Russia from Amazon.

What's the title?...I'll have to check it out.

version.

I'll check it out.

along with 175,000 others, just for this stream.
millions are watching and my expectation that the percentage of people is higher among DUers.

is one badass woman.

Serious as a heart attack, even a little intimidating, and that is, of course, good for our side.

..Dr Hill is great!

I'm sure most DUers who are
able do..I was just wondering if the UK DUers are doing so as well.

are making a circus out of it and it seams to be working for them.

Election over here and impeachment in US - I am in nerd stressful nirvana. I saw her on the news tonight... very compelling, and in some ways she is not wrong about the advantages in America for civil servants, after all the civil service is much larger...

and congratulations on being able to handle your own election coverage in addition to the hearings here..I believe it' s more than I could do. :

Our election goings-on are quite enough to deal with for the time being. But I appreciate the daily summaries I can get via DUers.

I understand completely.

though I haven't been watching it live (the BBC Parliament channel has been carrying it - if today is typical, they cover election stuff in the UK morning, and then have the impeachment during our afternoon/evening).

but the UK in general is not really following them. We have an imminent and quite worrying general election of our own, which is preoccupying the more political in the UK. Against the background of the general Brexit nightmare.


And there is the scandal about Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, which is a big thing in the media.

which they have.

I am NOT a non-Brit trying to speak for the British, as you seem to be implying!


I am a regular member of this forum; you can check my posts!


I wonder whether I might have said 'they' instead of 'we' at some point in my post and given the wrong impression. I will check my post, and correct any possible ambiguities.

and you and I have been on this forum for quite awhile, so, no, I wasn't implying that you were other than you claimed. I guess I was just saying that I was seeking individual responses, which I received -- with many confirming your information. No negative inference was intended.

It's a tense time in politics here as you can imagine, and Remainers like myself have been accused repeatedly of 'trying to subvert the will of the people', etc. So we're a bit on the defensive. Didn't mean to snap at you; I know you are also suffering from a crazy government!

I understand and really appreciate your response.
At this point in time, we, as Americans, may be uniquely qualified to understand the phrase "a tense time in politics". Have a good one.
