The Andrew M-W debate

To all those who feel queasy about the photo of Andrew M-W in the back of the car: As far as I can ascertain, your main concern is about the display of that man in 'severe mental distress'. 

What of the females left coping with severe mental distress from the Epstein gang, in the case of Ms Giuffre, so severe that it led her to take her own life? Did you ever raise your queasy voices on THEIR behalf? 

The photo is a direct outcome of this supremely self-indulgent individual's own misdemeanours, and constitutes small enough yet utterly condign retribution for all the misery the protagonists in the Epstein scandal inflicted on their victims. 

To quote Archbishop Desmond Tutu, therefore, spare me your crocodile tears and reconsider your own cognitive dissonance over this whole disgusting affair. On behalf of all the girls and women who fell victim to the Epstein gang, I heartily applaud the publication of that photo. Bravo, everyone, keep such honest news and images flowing without fear or favour, in true Reuter tradition! 

Editor’s note: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied wrongdoing in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.
