"You hear a lot about pressure on policing numbers and the inevitable downstream effects on service delivery. But imagine if you had a minimum of two police officers literally on the scene, often inside the house, in a whole variety of “odd” situations all over the world, with nothing to do but watch and wait for hours on end, and who might very well have passed the time wondering what His Nibs might be up to, or – to pluck an example – why they were being asked to provide private security for a dinner party at the New York mansion of a man who had recently been released from prison after serving time for soliciting prostitution from a minor."

Here’s a potential witness for the police officers investigating Andrew: the police

Forgive me if I’m not congratulating officers for investigating Andrew now – instead of, say, many years ago when they were with him in Jeffrey Epstein’s house, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

@wood5y Did they sign one of those NDA’s I wonder. Instead of asking the public for information, surely the Close Protection Detail have seen, enabled and protected all of this? I can’t see Chaz or Wills enforcing an NDA should it come to revelations in current circumstance. Meanwhile, no one is looking at the Mandelson impact in all kinds of politics, especially the current Labour Party.

@HarriettMB @wood5y Any police witnesses will be so far up to their neck in complicity that even threatening their pension won’t work.

They should look for the tiny numbers who did report complaints, but were then stifled internally (and probably transferred off royal onto diplo).
But that will be embarrassing in a different way.
