As an American I find this confusing to arrest a rich, powerful person on criminal charges.

I think you play by different rules. The more mentioned points system means you get more protection in your version.

Well, fair play to the current royal house. Prince Charles (he'll always be a prince to me) upholds the liberal values and accountability since his grandfather's time.

You have to start by removing his title.

Hang the childfuckers high! As per law with due process obviously, and yes I know they don't have the death penalty which I do not support generally because we can't trust authorities to get the right people let alone to decide who should be executed.

Still though, send this guy to like a penal colony on some island north of scotland or something, building sea bird habitat on bread and water rations.

There is more happening on a global level from the findings in the Epstein files then there is in the US. The US just gets tweets and soundbites on the news. The US is a joke.

He been arrested for misconduct whilst in public office, so not for being a nonce. It’s for sharing information.

Sadly, as I understood from a report I saw this morning, it's not in connection to his pedophilia but to sending highly sensitive gov docs to Epstein which may have been used for financial gain.

They can lay additional charges later. This just gets him in the system.

Not exactly, the arrest is about stealing and sharing state secrets, not the children he raped.

I think it helps that his mother, of whom he was the favourite child is dead and can't protect him anymore.

Charles is. The CPS prosecutes in his name.

None of the others are though.

While it's true and that's what they're investigating, they're searching his devices and his properties and they can prosecute on anything they find.

Hell of a lot more than most people expected.

Meanwhile in america: {crickets, followed by a tumbleweed blowing across a sand covered road}

And that's after the obese orange child rapist was best friends with Epstein for decades, and has been mentioned many thousands of times, with thousands of pictures, and numerous sexual accusations all in the Epstein files.
The fat cunt could shoot a baby live on TV and no fucker would do a thing about it.

It’s incredibly conspicuous that Trump hasn’t arrested anyone over this. He’ll take any opportunity to persecute his perceived enemies, and plenty of them are in the files. He sues people over absolutely nothing. It’s weird that not one prosecution has gone down. He’ll probably even pardon Maxwell.

And they arrested and imprisoned Al Capone for tax evasion. The important part is they arrested him, and secondly that it was for something related to Epstein. Hopefully the ensuing investigation will cause more details to be revealed and a wider reckoning to occur, but either way, he’s no longer free.

Think of the royals like vestigial organs - they still exist and do something, but your body won’t really miss them if they’re removed.

Thats seperate. Only the Sovereign is “above the law” and that in effect just means Parliament would hold the trial rather than the judiciary.

He's being arrested for sharing official documents. Not the disgusting crimes he committed against children and/or women. It's not real accountability, it's theater meant to placate the angry masses.
