Whatever one may believe with regard to the furore or truth over the allegations that surround Prince Andrew Duke of York, one thing leaves me Bamboozled.

The non-royal person, Julian Assange has now had a two-year stay in Ecuadorian embassy after seeking asylum from a charge of ‘SEXUAL ASSAULT’
The women concerned, both well over the age of consent, have not pressed charges and the cost to the UK taxpayer to police this farce has now reached £9MILLION. One might reasonably ask “WTF?”

Nowhere in the MSM can I find a stronger phrase than the one which is attributed to Assange, that of ‘Sexual Assault’ when the Prince of Wales episode is covered by our news media.
The unproven allegations which are levied at the Prince, are mild in comparison, which begs the question ‘WHY?’

Did the press give Rolf Harris the same latitude when reporting his case.
The answer of course is no!
Sex with a minor is determined by the age of the ‘victim’ and the word Pedophile is lawfully as well as understandably used in cases such as these, whether the perpetrator be Prince or Pauper.

Non of these emotive phrases have been used with regard to the Duke of York when the hacks tap out their copy today.
There are of course many softer phrases used such as ‘Sexual Relations’ (Raping a minor) and ‘Arrangements made to supply young women for sex’ (Procurement).
Both of these I would suggest, if applied to a member of the public, would have dire consequence in a court of law. (Ask Max Clifford or Rolf Harris)

I do not, nor will I ever condone the crime of an adult having sex with a minor and I would remind those journalists who still have a sense of fair play to remember the adage : ‘What’s good for the (Public Goose) is good for the (Royal Gander!’)

Yours ..Bamboozled.
