A Right Royal Arrest: Busted On His Birthday

ALL CAPS were exchanged. Cushions were screamed into. Andrew has been arrested.

Jemma and Marina dive headfirst into the breaking news that Prince Andrew was arrested at his Sandringham residence on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The internet did not disappoint. The memes were memeing. The birthday irony was exquisite. The startled-wombat visuals were unavoidable.

But amid the satire and schadenfreude, Jemma and Marina are crystal clear: at the heart of this grotesque scandal are survivors of abuse, thousands of children and young people harmed by a network of powerful men. Justice, not just jokes, is the point.

They unpack the arrest, the reactions, why some in America seem determined to make sure justice never darkens certain billionaire doorsteps. The callers, the chaos, and the memes that made it A Truly Great Day For The Internet

Plus: Under-Rateds, a new favourite account and a deliciously aged-like-milk Michael Spicer pudding.

It’s furious. It’s funny. It’s deeply uncomfortable.

Just the way the news cycle likes it.
