His wife Lady Eleanor was also charged with aiding and abetting in relation to the alleged crimes. Neither of them entered a plea.

Donaldson made a career out of saying “ NO”!!!!! but it seems he didn’t actually understand the meaning of the word
Damn.
The usual suspects freaky freaky 😮, season of exposure
Thick as a brick.
“Those Protestants, up to no good as usual”….Fr. Ted !!
Down with that sort of thing 😶
“Careful now”
The irony that was said by a Catholic priest is not lost on me.
@@thedragonfly_93 that’s the whole point of the show!
Tip of the iceberg
He was the last hope for Unionism in Ireland. The Orange State is truly finished.
It was truly finished when Paisley took the deal
The orange order is a cult, jeffrey is typical of its members
Sir Jeffrey. Sir Jimmy the list gets bigger.
You forgot to mention the Duke of York
Fish rots from the head Royal family
Prince Andrew. Mountbatten…….
@@thepatriot4076Did he get convicted of any crime? That woman just wanted cash.
@@davidhooper1767 why hide for 8 months avoiding court documents and then pay £12million if it was a cash grab?
'His wife and co-accused, Sir Eleanor Donaldson...'.0:22 Blimey, that adds a new dimension. Journalists aren't what they used to be.
Are there any normal, honest politicians anywhere?
Nop🤷♀️
In very low levels. Only wef stooges at higher levels.
the simple answer is NO
Not in the Tory party that's for sure.
Yes, Nigel Farage (The best Prime Minister we haven't had, yet)!
No support for Donaldson from family. Curious.
Considering his wife is co accused, and the accusations come from two women (Donaldson has two daughters) - I think the dots can be connected. What a vile human.
@@TheAngrychipmunk96 As local rumours have it (Ones which seem to be becoming more concrete each passing day), only 1 daughter has come forward, the other person he "Alledgedly" did his vile acts to was his very own niece, so not any better at all
That being said, who knows how many people he has affected that have not come forward
Everyone outside of the family were completely blindsided by these shocking allegations. That’s very unusual, unless of course…..
@@TheAngrychipmunk96111
You seem to think that makes him and his wife guilty.Strange.
Sir Jeffery Saville.
Now then, now then! Errierrierrierrierr!!
Did saville get convicted? Oh that's right witnesses refused to give evidence.
Tiochfadh ar la.
Honestly, none of this is surprising. It's always the moralizing religious types.
Yeah; but she did tell him she was a 17 year-old dinosaur.
Human beings are weird
Sounds like a Fred and Rosemary West scenario, the wife helping him!!!!!!!!
Experts say, that for every Fred and Rose West the authorities know about, there are another five out there, who haven't been discovered.
@@ElToro2000UKSome experts have been saying for years puberty blockers are perfectly safe .....other " experts " said a recent jab + its many many boosters was likewise .... safe , experts arent what they used to be !!!
This should finish the Orange Order surely, especially after the mocking song being written and sung of a young Christian school teacher murdered out foreign on her honeymoon.
Shameful.
Everyone in the political arena knew about it. I hear next bbc ni is to be raided 2 board members and 1 high profile talent are next on the list that has been banded about for years!
Apparently the list is astonishing but not surprising!
This isn't going to end well. There seems to be a LOT of evidence. £350 bail ? I threw a plastic cup at a Stoke City match against Leicester, and my bail was £500. Although , I'm not a Sir, nor a lady .....
Court's did you over big time if they fined you that much, a plastic cup too...
thanks Martin you forgot to mention the urine in the cup you threw over my 6 year old son i hope your proud of yourself youth ?
Have you noticed that the No ,No No ,No, Never Never, Never one lives in Old London Town, he lives to close to Buckingham Place
You've seen the evidence then?
I'm not surprised
0:18 " His wis and co accused Sir Eleanor Donaldson". I don't think either of them should be called " Sir".
Why? Are they guilty already?
@@davidhooper1767 yes, they committed these crimes years ago. The court is really just formality. Look how he's being treated, he's out on £350 bail, allowed to leave the country and is still addressed as Sir. Anyway, my comment doesn't mention that I think they are guilty, does it? I was wondering why the reported called his wife Sir and not Lady?
@@A.Gardener The court is just a formality? He was knighted so he's called sir.
@@A.Gardener A reporter that had too much PC training.How much bail should it be?
@@davidhooper1767 like Sir Jimmy Savile. I know. People who did what he has done still get their day in court.
tip of the iceberg
We ahall all stand before the Judgment Seat of the Christ.
He'll be saved by...oh that's right, he's already " saved".
Jeffrey is just A Clockwork Orange.
And when hes found guilty he will still be treat like royalty fucking beast.
Another clairvoyant in the audience.
Walks in without handcuffs, gets released on a £350 bail for fiddling with his child and niece. If you have a title you're treated like a victim of being caught.
@@Kenny-tc6rg Why should he be in handcuffs? As he wasn't offering violence would it be reasonable force to use them? These are allegations so why should he not get bail? Again you've assumed he's guilty.
@@davidhooper1767 i assume nothing. His action's show his guilt. If you were innocent would you leave ur position? To molest a child be it your own or another has to be the most despicable act a man or woman can commit in their life time. Here you are defending him, I can't think why anyone who isn't Jeffery would try to defend him.
@@Kenny-tc6rg Don't you mean assume?
It's do or die for Ulster's lie!
Sir Eleanor Donaldson 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Why are the police's faces blurred out?
For security reasons I would imagine.
Being a copper in Norn Iron can be very dangerous for your health.
No smoke without fire.
Did you think that up yourself or did your mum help?
Usual suspects…
The spotlights will be shining in the south soon.

Grammar....not historic....should be historical
The DUP always had a fundamental character flaw. I'm entirely neutral on the Northern Ireland question, but that much was very clear to me a long time ago.
I once met one of Ian Paisley's grandchildren. He was clearly a trauma victim.
UK gov reward for stopping Irish parliament.
"Sir" Eleanor??? 😂
If true, then it goes to show there is no difference between between a Protestant and a Catholic when it comes to sexual deviancy!!
Are we surprised the bootlicker is hypocritical? He resembles his English masters (denial, gross abuse of power, tantrums, lying, playing politics with an entire population). Typical
How observant u are.
@@eileenboles8645 When both communities operate on a level of hypocrisy in terms of 'knowing' but averted eyes, 'hearing' but selectively closed ears, and 'silence' when gossipy tongues are wagging when it comes to the "foibles" of the so called great and the good, it is REFRESHING to see that justice can be served, whether a Catholic Bishop/Priest or a Protestant Politician.
@@reamoinmcdonachadh9519well said bravo
True. The loyalist and British establishment with Kincora. The IRA had their abuse scandals also.
His Mentor was Enoch Powell. What did you expect. It was only a matter of time.
More ladders than B&Q.
Pillar of the church
Truly disgusting and he would have been protected the whole of his career in politics and the man was never fit enough and take his knighthood from him
You think he's guilty because?
@@davidhooper1767 he is a nonce like most of his ilk are you one also???
What's a historic charge?
A charge that is a big deal for our politics and greater history
One that happened decades ago.But they'll have tons of evidence from??
And only £350 bail 1 rule thee and 1 rule for me
If they thought he was a danger to anyone he'd be remanded.
@@davidhooper1767 but it you or me did that it wouldn't be 350 bail trust me
@@kennethjackson3285No I won't trust you because you're assuming that you haven't produced any facts.
@@davidhooper1767 the facts is one rule of thee and one rule for me and how can you think 350£ is enough off a bail for any type of that crime
@@kennethjackson3285That isn't a fact it's just waffle.He hasn't been found guilty that's the point of bail.
The Usual suspects.
You need to adjust the brightness on you're device..... He's not one of the inbred brown types to be making comments like that.

He’s going down
Sir Elena 😂
I'm no fan of him but I was shocked to hear this I can't believe it really.
I'm getting the word........
NONCE!
His one of many.....
Victims of rape..... says No! also.
Men cannot even hug a woman these days for fear of accusation. We all need a good old Carry On film to cheer us all up and give us back some liberation. Mary Whitehouse has got her way! We now are turning puritan and judgemental. None of us know what really occured now do we? The word historic makes me sceptical. It makes no sense to me that accusers come forward years later and I truly believe that victims of rape would report such trauma pretty darn quickly!
Not if you were a child,and mummy covering for the perpetrator…who knows.
Aye Aye!Whats going on here then!Another dodgy politician.
Sick couple!
Dirty donsldson
Disgrace to every1
Mud sticks, whatever the eventual outcome of this case.
So if he's found not guilty you'll still say he's guilty?
@@davidhooper1767 What? I didn't say he's guilty! I suggest you look up the meaning of 'mud sticks' 🙄
@@user-wf3fh1jm5lIt means no matter what happens people believe the opposite.😮
Exactly, and many ‘people’ will, whether he's innocent or not, because mud sticks. I have no idea whether there’s any truth to the allegations but my point is unless his accusers withdraw their accusations then there’ll always be people who’ll associate him with them, even if a jury finds him not guilty. I guess time will tell!
@@PMMMac-rt1un It's a psychological programming device.You read the papers and watch the news all with a bias against a defendant and even if the charges are withdrawn people think they're guilty.If a person is found not guilty and people start gossip then defamation laws are a remedy.
Will his Knighhood be removed if hes found guilty? Youd like to think a knight of the realm wouldnt behave so.
are you kidding me?? So many British politicians ( and Irish ones) are corrupt but its one thing fiddling your expenses alleged child abuse is another
Ground hog day
Lets hope Karma gets his ......... side
shocking
"I'm getting the word..." #clintonbaptiste
It seems to get called a title you need to be a nonce. Sir Jimmy, Sir Jeffrey, Lord Mountbatten, Lord Janner, etc etc. Wonder if he was a regular at Kincora House like lord Mountbatten
Innocent until proven guilty.
He might have mistaken Ulster says No, for her saying No I’m under sixteen.
Just another example.of british colonial manipulation.
Satan and his satanic forces in this dark world we live in we need the holy rosary of our blessed mother to defeat this evil 🙏
Her word versus his…great evidence…
There is two of them. The MO's will be compared. Wife might flip too do a deal.. Jeff says Nooooooooooo!!!
Jefffffffreyyyyyyyyyyy
It’s been a long time since I’ve disliked a video, blurring Law Enforcement in the course of duty…. WTF?
I know right? Why??
Not from Northern Ireland then I take it.
Being a copper in Norn Iron is a lot more dangerous than being a copper in England, Scotland or Wales. How many coppers on the “mainland” have to check their cars in the morning for IED’s just because they work in law enforcement?
Sir Jeff sir jimmy Saville. It’s a pattern sir
Over here, you get killed for being a cop, mate.
Northern Ireland police officers are very high risk of being murdered by republican and IRA splinter groups so they cannot have their identity on national TV because it reveals their identity and makes it more likely someone could tip off where they live and their address.
G'wan Jeffrayyyyyyyyy
I’m saying guilty
Guilty without trial seams to be the norm these days :(
