OF COURSE queen pushed for ‘spare part’ son to be trade envoy. Duh

The BBC and various ‘news’ outlets are today trumpeting the ‘breaking’ news that the late queen pushed for her second son Andrew‘s appointment as UK trade envoy. Well duh.

The then-monarch needed something useful for her ‘spare part’ son to do as his military career came to an end. Andrew had been close to serial child-rapist and Israeli spy Jeffrey Epstein since the early 1990s. His tendencies were known well before that, with his ‘Randy Andy” nickname dating back decades earlier. Giving him a cushy job getting massages on the public purse to keep him out of the domestic view was a no-brainer.

The queen and her nepo baby

At the same time as she was nepotising for him, Epstein was trafficking the child Virginia Giuffre to Andrew. Andrew was also meeting Epstein’s procurer Ghislaine Maxwell — in the queen’s official Balmoral residence.

They all knew.

Andrew’s mother had protected him for decades. Of course they knew, just as the BBC knew about Jimmy Savile and obviously covered for him but we’re not supposed to believe that either. They’re not that stupid. They just think we are.

We’re supposed to treat these ‘revelations’ as if they’re new, now that the royal family has decided to throw Andrew under the bus to protect the family from the Epstein scandal. The queen is dead and as far beyond consequences — at least from outraged humans — as is Savile.

Pointing the finger at a corpse and a dead man walking might just deflect attention from the current incumbent. It might distract people enough to stop them thinking about why we need a family fattening its inherited and stolen wealth at the expense of the rest of us.

Or that’s what they hope. They think we’re that stupid. Let’s hope not enough of us are.
