@DanielGault

I'm thinking maybe she feels she can't say "I imagine" so early with this guy, because he will rip her a new one

If she has an ounce of cop on, yes.

I wonder how long before she says "I imagine"

Mr Beer is very calm, accurate and has worked to set up information for today so that PV can be grilled.

This guy is really pushing. Brilliant.

I can’t recall that damming email

I imagine the email exists as you've referred to it, but I don't recall

I hope she gets her arse handed to her today. She has lied continually on the stand these past couple of days.

I wonder if she will be taken to court

Very aggressive though isn't he? Not saying it's right or wrong either way (being a mere pleb like) but totally going for the jugular this morning.

I think this is for starters. I think he's deliberately letting her speak, she can spend an hour trotting out all her carefully prepared and rehearsed answers. Eventually her supply of bullshit will run out, then they will really get stuck in.

I don't think Mr Henry is as good as Mr Beer though.

I really wish Flora Paige was asking the questions..

Quirkyme · 24/05/2024 10:09

He seems to have calmed down a bit now.

He actually reminds me of someone at work.

But this person has these outbursts via email. Mad fool he is

chilling19 · 24/05/2024 10:08

Henry is angry.

As I was saying I'm all for him skewering her but she is using that to her advantage, making him seem unreasonable and aggressive. Can you see how she's perked up?

She's perked up since he was warned twice, I noticed that lol.

She really 'doesn't understand ' anything though does she 🙄

It's a bit theatrical this morning.

You still continue to live in a cloud of denial.

Craven, self serving etc.

Taking the mick re her memory, he's really going for it.
