Pump prices remain relatively steady, with consumption jumping on the weekly basis, but nearly flat... year over year.
Now for the opinion stuff...
It is fascinating to watch the British News over Epstein, Mandelson, Andrew, etc. It was a shock when Andrew was taken into custody. Of course, it was noted on several occasions that the British Police are investigating this sex trafficking thing more thoroughly than in the US.
The possible charges against Andrew, are over government secrets, which came to light after the files release. While he may be assessed by multiple British police agencies over possible movement of underage girls, he has not been charged.
Simply put... Andrew got a lot of publicity over sharing of secret government financial records with Epstein, which violates UK laws and dates back to 2011.
As for Epstein, he served 13 months from June 2008 ~ July 2009... on work release. Which meant he only spent his evenings in a cell.
As for Andrew, he was a trade envoy from 2001~ 2011. He resigned that position due to some issues with expenses and possible association with unsavory characters.
It is hard to believe the Crown was not aware of Andrew's illegal business dealings. Yet all remained quiet.
An oddity in UK law has the Monarchy immune to open records requests, for 99 years after death.
Taking that last sentence and reviewing the timeline of the past 15 years, the slow drip drip of accusations against Andrew, stripping of his titles and duties and then the timing of his removal from the Royal Lodge, just 2 weeks prior to this latest uproar... reeks of a conspiracy.
It is not so unbelievable that the Royal Lodge was scrubbed clean and any questionable material, digital and otherwise, is now safely ensconced in some walled off partition, held by the monarchy. To remain there until 99 years after Andrew's demise.
Thus the only evidence is in the U.S. files which were simply reproductions from digital files.
With the UK media now describing the King as being forthcoming and willing to work with the authorities as somehow being above reproach. The cycle is nearly complete.
Of course, this is all just a conspiracy on my part... and could never possibly be true.
