WHERE NOW

by Lynn White


Photos of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor crouching over a woman were taken in Jeffrey Epstein's New York City mansion, while an image of Peter Mandelson in his underwear was taken in the paedophile financier's Paris flat, a Sky News analysis has found.


Where do we go now

after we’ve seen a lord

in his knickers

and a prince

on his knees,

where now 

from that place

where no crimes 

were committed,

“don’t you know.”


Do you know

where now?
