PM Backs Booting Andy From Line Of Succession When All We Actually Want Is For Him To Face Justice

The Prime Minister has backed the gesture of removing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession, a key step required for the British Government to do so, when instead the man on the street has simply asked that he face real consequences for his actions.

In order for the British Government to remove Andrew from this current-eighth position in line for the crown, each Commonwealth realm must agree. Australia is reportedly the first to do so.

While he is just two private jet crashes away from taking the place of his brother on our coins and constitution, the act of removing him from the crown queue has been interpreted as largely meaningless if Andrew manages to escape justice.

Earlier this week, Andrew was arrested by officers from the Thames Valley Police over allegations he misused public office, however, charges haven't been laid. If convicted, Andrew faces the prospect of taking Julian Assange's old bunk at Belmarsh for the rest of his natural born life.

Anthony Albanese told Brisbane radio today that Australians were disgusted by the ongoing revelations about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019, and the powerful people who maintained a relationship with him.

"I think that we would like to see him face the music," explained Albanese.

"You know, handing over state documents and the whole, uh, you know, Epstein business. You know, we'd like to see someone go down for this. We've got one bloke all over it [Epstein files] trying to build a skyscraper on the Gold Coast. If that doesn't freak you out, not much else will."

Speaking to our reporter on the corner of Green and Mulholland in the Old City District, man-on-the-street David Wallace said the time for red tape and pomp has come and gone.

"I would like to see a stronger rebuke from Albo," he said.

"It's not very likely that this sweaty pedo would ever become king so what does this really achieve? Do they need to boot him so they can charge him? Is it a constitutional problem? Like how when you get pinged for mid-range drink driving, it's me against King Charles III, right? Would he be conflicted out if it's Andrew v The Crown?"

"Genuinely, I dunno. I'd be interested to see and I'll be reading the comments on this article to see if anyone does."

More to come.
