Cromwell? Here comes the new king, same as the old king.

Well the current lot are not doing so well are they? One is threatening to sue the UK Government, and another is facing a civil action that effectively suggests he is an abuser of young girls. While this may well be money grabbing allegations, it is rather damning for him that he does not seem to have any alibi or proof of his innocence.

Are the presidents and "Glorious Leaders" around the world any better?

"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

You don't need proof of evidence. That's not how a western justice system works.

No but none of the alibis he has given have been authenticated. No admits to seeing   him in the Pizza restaurant. He does not have any receipt for being there or proof of payment. His own daughters do not remember him taking them there. None of the Royal protection team have come forward to confirm they were with him that day

No medical evidence given yet about his supposed lack of sweating.

He has consistently avoided answering questions or supplying evidence that would disprove his accuser.

While none of this proves his guilt, it does make his claims of innocence look rather suspect. He was until recently a Royal whose every move was shadowed by personal protection officers, yet neither he nor they cannot account for his whereabouts on the dates he was allegedly abusing this girl or girls.

You still have prove he did what he is accused of.

I know that we don't all share the same views on these matters but do we need to air them here?  I would say not.
