Arrogant Andy is a national disgrace

The Gazette

|

October 23, 2025

FOR decades, Prince Andrew has strutted around like he owns the ground he walks on - draped in titles, padded with privilege, and oozing an arrogance so thick it could choke the nation.

- CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN

Ever since his friendship with paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein emerged more than 15 years ago, he has appeared untouchable from consequences. Until now.

The fallout from his transatlantic friendship with the convicted sex offender is finally catching up with him. And the question burning in everyone’s mind is: why did it take so long?

And while we're at it why, when the allegations first surfaced, did Buckingham Palace not drag him out and banish him for good?

It was and always has been unfathomable just how Andrew was allowed to slink to the sidelines, shielded by glossy PR and palace spin, while Epstein’s victims were left to pick up the pieces.

The answer is simple: entitlement and a royal family too weak to act. It is a national disgrace.

And this is not some abstract guilt by association.

Fights, camera, action

JILL Halfpenny is really annoying. Sally Lindsay appears to be nuts. Not in real life, of course - well, not as far as I know-but in this new psychological thriller. Jill plays Lucy Logan, host of a daytime TV show, Lucy Logan Live. She's the sort of saccha- rine presenter who'd have me jabbing the off-switch in seconds but I think we're meant to see her as sweet and relatable etc. So I guess I'd better do that.
