A retired Church of England vicar and three Christian climate activists have been convicted of aggravated trespass. This is after they dropped a huge banner saying “Don’t Crucify Creation” from the tower of Bath Abbey.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his titles over the Epstein scandal. He has also been exposed engaging in dodgy dealings as UK trade envoy role his mother pushed for him to receive. His brother Charles paid out millions to settle the lawsuit brought against Andrew by the late Virginia Giuffre. But Andrew has continued receiving rental payments on the Royal Lodge estate he received rent-free from the Crown. The amounts…
