In your youtube Level1Techs dated December 14, You made a statement that is untrue. You stated that the UK Government was trying to protect Prince Andrew from being taken to the USA and then finished by saying very disappointing. You misunderstand, The UK Government is not doing anything to protect Prince Andrew. The USA has not applied for extradition and in fact as the case is civil and not criminal then extradition is not possible by either US or UK law. If he was to face criminal charges then the US could extradite him and there is nothing the UK Government or Monark could do to stop that as they are not above the law. Get your facts checked before making comment.
The videos they release are just news from other sources and try to make fun of news.
Also why are you so angry?
Are you angry about this or are you happy about this? Because I cant tell from your statement.
I’m a Brit, who is not a lawyer. But, the whole government, technically, is working on behalf of the queen.
I believe, and correct me if I am wrong, but we are a constitutional monarchy, no?
which means we self govern, but the queen is technically head of state.
And momma gonna protec her son.
Now, Queen Lizzie, she an aged political animal. She know which way the wind blows, and she might just sell out her son, if it suits.
Or step down to protec him.
Or, go to war to defend him (VERY UNLIKELY) ((just technically possible))
Realistically, the US would have to Really want to strain the relations, and it would take a lot of good will cost to go through with it.
It is possible the gov gives up the prince, but I don;t think the US really cares that much.
It all comes down to how much the US public pressures their people.
And if Biden needs an win to get a bill through. something on that level.
You ask “why are you so angry?” It’s not anger per say, but pointing out the truth. May I answer that with a question to you. If you hear someone say something that is not true do you get angry and if you don’t then why not?
It is always right and good to defend what is true and point out what is not true.
I’d like to remind everyone involved in this topic that we don’t allow political discussion on the forum. I’m not going to close it, because I feel there is an appearance of conflict of interest, but I would like people to stay civil and on their best behavior.
FWIW, I have no dog in this fight, as I don’t have a part in the news and don’t care that much about the British royal family.

Sorry bub, thanks for the heads up.
and yeah, HRH / the crown are political subjects. And I am a monarchist, but you’re right. thanks for the light touch
Yes your 100% right however you miss the point that at the moment to case is not criminal and so there is no legal call to extradite him and there for nothing to do/protect. As it so happens I think he should go and face the music.
P.S. I am a Brit to, I just happen to live in Greece at the moment.
Thanks for that SgtAwesomesauce
It was just a reaction to the news.
Commented, over and done.

That’s why I wanted to let it play out. It’s a difficult situation when the forum has no politics, but the news discusses political stuff very frequently.

But, the [edit, not criminal ] case is still in motion, in the US courts.
It is not yet dismissed, and the prince not yet been indicted / subpoena’d to appear in person, more invited to defend himself, pre-trial, iirc.
At the moment, it is just the princes direct legal team doing the defence.
So, the government has not needed to intervene, and yes, the L1T crew Were too early to make that call.
With Assange now at risk, of being sent stateside, after what looks to be last bluff eroded…
Curiosity question would be, how long could royal family shield, refrain such attempt(s)?

The problem is truth has now eroded so badly in our post-truth world with all the disinformation out there. But I fully agree with you fully in defending the truth. Its just that its hard to do that these days when Tech Giants gets in the way.
Anyway I am neither Brit nor American so I dont have a dog in the race. Its just I watch L1T news for entertainment.
Bingo! Nobody should take L1News too seriously

It’s a civil case not a criminal one.
I take it back
Andrew withdrew from all public relations. That’s the Royal equivalent of admission. He’s safely tucked away from the public now. Elizabeth has had enough of his shit.

If he was still engaging his duties, it would be welcoming a persistent hoplite media squad(s), that wouldn’t rest its case, regardless which royal is taking time in front of mic/lens – basically batting aside ANY other engagements taking place. Even the recent Republic established [in Barbados], would have become sparse white noise…
