I'd literally tell him to "fuck off I'll call you Nonce Andrew, and if you threaten me I'll go to the press and tell them even more shit that will get you in prison, you fucking nonce. Now get on your knees and apologise. And then I'd film it, and send it to the press"

It stands for "Sweat Isn't Real"

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

What a bizarre claim to make, that he can't sweat was it? Obviously not true, he was in the military I think, even as a helicopter pilot he wouldn't be able to serve if he couldn't sweat. You wouldn't be able to live without sweating first time you get some exercize you would get brain damage, or first trip to the subtropics, from the heat. Your balls would get fried too.

Guy obviously can sweat if he couldn't he would be like a bubble boy.

The helicopter pilot was his nephew, Harry. I believe Andrew served in the Navy during the Falklands war.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 55 minutes ago (1 children)

Ah thanks I always avoided learning anything about the royal family but someone recently said he was also a helicopter pilot in the falklands, I remember Harry in afghanistan because of those comments he made that got leaked using a slur and whatever else.

Any which way, you can't serve in the armed forces in about any capacity if you can't sweat. They won't event take flat feet.

It's just such an outlandish lie, like that is the best he could come up with? And it doesn't absolve him either if I recall.

The interview where he made those claims backfired so spectacularly for him, it's worth a watch. I think I'm going to watch it again tonight.

"Sick Indecent Rapist"

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

This Saxon Royalist shit heap deserves to be buried in an unmarked grave. Ideally without building a parking lot over his insipid pedophilic corpse so as to deny him even identification after centuries of disgraced death.

"Yes, sir. Flagon of ale for the child rapist, sir. And absolutely nobody has done anything untoward in it, sir".

Why does this fucker get royal staff?

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 18 points 5 hours ago

He's still uber rich. Between being mummy's favourite and being the literal shaddy deal's man for the British government for a while, he probably has more money than he would be able to spend.

His staff are on record as saying they call him "the cunt" when he's not around. I forget which interview that was but it was a former staff member on a TV interview.

A huge piece of shit in almost every respect, but the character had his moments of poignancy.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I am no true king.

You do the math. ;)

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

Right. You're a potato.

Here is your beer “Sir” …

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 34 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He is getting used to it I guess. "Sir" is a pretty big demotion from "your royal highness".

[–] borkborkbork@piefed.social 5 points 3 hours ago

man I'd love to try "Ah yes your pedoness" just once

You're just a Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to me.

Wait until they downgrade him from Mountbatten to just Hill

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago

No matter what they are forced to call you, you'll always see the contempt in their eyes; not one person smiling to see you walk into the room, ever.

Fuck you Andy

My first impulse was to comment this :

But then...

No son of royalty or riches is a real boy!

Mainstream or street.
