Watching the Post Office Inquiry on the 'Beeb' and I am absolutely staggered that a person in a senior position who was right in the middle of this scandal can continually lie through her teeth under oath.

 

Unfortunately, for all those sub-postmasters/mistresses affected by this atrocious miscarriage of justice Angela Van Den Bogerd this is nothing new as she lied in 2 Court proceedings earlier.

 

Folk like her should be locked up.

For someone who is obviously very clever she has a very poor memory.

The SCOTUS Trump immunity hearing now on CNN is an interesting listen although Trump’s attorney sounds like a fvckin Dalek

Personally, I don't think she is clever. Like most who have gone before her in this Inquiry she has been deliberately obstructive and prepared to lie under oath.

 

The attitude that pervaded the hierarchy within the Post Office, and probably still does, was that SPMs are all criminals and it was never a fault with what has turned out to be a discredited IT system.

Something quite apt about a star witness in the Trump hush money shagging case being Mr Pecker

Foreman: The decision of the jury is guilty, your honour.

 

Trump's Attorney: EXTERMINATE!!!

Does the recently advertised Trump bible come with free condoms to facilitate any potential liaisons with adult film entertainers ?

Probably a good bit of knowledge to have when voting that Rwanda is a safe country you'd think. Or not

 

The audience reaction and the Wes Streeting side eye are Labour election campaign posters already I'd suggest.

That bloke has some highlight reel, this isn't his first time of being utterly embarrassed on TV. He either doesn't care that people laugh at his constant stupidity or he's so far up his own backside he's oblivious. Sadly it's the latter. It's a close run thing between him and Laura Trott for dimmest Tory who gets a decent chunk of airtime, but I think he just snatches the award.

It’s up there with that Manchester street scene photograph. 
 

It encapsulates everything about this dead duck government.

Politicians are so petrified of saying the wrong thing that they’re over thinking stuff and not really concentrating on the question. That’s one of the reasons why they don’t answer the question (there are other more weighty ones) - they probably couldn’t tell you what the question was!

You're giving Philps too much credit. He's thick but he ambitious. He's the Tory whipping boy, they send him out to defend the indefensible or to talk about really controversial stuff, because they know he'll do it as he thinks any exposure is good exposure,  and they know probably say something stupid which is what the headline will be about, rather than whatever disgusting thing they are currently up to.

[ajthefox]

That makes me wonder if he's just being sent on as a sitting duck.

 

I'm not sure anyone could defend this that well but surely anyone going on now should have done some research.

This reminds me of when Ben Swain got sent onto Newsnight.

I like Charles. I think if he'd come to the throne twenty years ago he could've been quite a transformative head of state.

 

William will be awful.

There were plenty of health scare stories concerning Putin for a while. Best to wait and see.
