Prince Andrew...
...is it permissable to say "Poor Show" re his ill-mannered treatment of guys doing their job?
Remember TACEVALs & getting OC Something onto the deck for an ID Check?

Considering how plod's version of what happened at the end of Downing Street in the "plebgate" affair turned out, on investigation, to be a pack of lies, I'm not inclined to believe anything that's been said about this by the police, who are probably doing what they are best at, ie covering their backs.
Methinks someone is not being straight about this. If it is as plod say then DOY is bang out of order for asking for an apology and should be grateful for the fact that they are there to look after him.
On the other hand - his comments would seem much more proportionate if someone had shoved an MP-5 in his face and yelled at him.
Mind you - it would not be the first time DOY has put his foot in it, but you'd also think he'd spent enough time around that kind of security to have a pretty thick skin.
OH

If he does not like the public provided and funded protection he is getting, perhaps it should be withdrawn and he can fund / arrange his own.
Anything he gets from the public purse can also be withdrawn too, after all he's not exactly anywhere near next in line to anything these days, simply a sponger off the public purse, personally i'd reduce that down to the statuary unemployment benefit and that's it.

Pedant Mode ON:
The security was actually being provided for HMQ at the time of this incident!
Pedant Mode OFF.

I know, but you get my drift, as he is there it is also being provided for him as well, as indeed it is when he is not at Betty's London crash pad.
The bloke is a total cock, he was challenged, big deal, all his bitching has done is possibly make police officers wary about challenging anyone next time to the detriment of good security.
I realise good security Is a difficult balancing act and he should realise that, I see poor examples all the time at work.

I'd add the following, if the 'security' couldn't even recognize the DOY, what the fcuk are they doing in that job in the first place?! He may not be an immediate heir to the throne but, FFS come on, get a clue!

Apologies, it appears he gets nothing off the Civil list, though it didn't stop him expecting us to pay for his children's security, which was turned down.
Rhino, its not totally impossible having someone looking similar to him and as he is not regular occupier of the house, one can understand the desire to be 100% sure.
Heck the Staish at Odious would charge anyone on the gate that refused to challenge him and ask for his ID card in the mid 70's, even though we knew who he was.

Plod was not protecting Liz. She was at Balmoral.
It is difficult to know which side to take. Plod lie more than any other trade. PoY doesn't exactly have a good reputation and has incredible wealth and privilege purely as an accident of birth. Maybe they deserve each other.

Er. As resident plod I'd like to point out that we don't spend our working days concocting lies.
There's little that I do that's worth the risk if I was caught lying.

Having spoken to him several times on RTF, I have to say he was always very friendly and chatty. He was probably only staying at Buck Pal to get away from his ex.

Apologies Covec, et al, but some of us Pruners aren't in the UK so don't know WTF you are talking about. Any chance of a link to the story?
Please folk, if you are going to start a thread on a news subject please include a link to the story for those of us that aren't 'locals' - cheers

Here is a link which does claim that :the plods" did indeed "shove their guns in the Prince's face", repeatedly shout for him to lie on his face, and took some time to establish his identity.
Prince Andrew's rage at Palace police: Duke angry at officers who mistook him for intruder | Mail Online
Like most things, the truth is almost certainly somewhere between "out-of-control gun-brandishing thugs threaten to shoot Prince" and "Royal twit throws tantrum at being asked politely for his name".

My view of Andrew is he's certainly "done his bit" and is deserving of respect for that. And there are many officers who are infinitely more unsufferably arrogant than him. His little paddy, if it was even that, attracts comment because of his social position. My very brief and singular experience of him, while he was in DNW (?? an RN office in London), was of unfailing politeness to ORs and civvies, and of not suffering the fawning fools of superior rank gladly.
