Poor old frail man needing THREE big strong heavies to help him up the steps. Yeah right. As his ex PA (who broke her confidentiality agreement) pointed out on R4 news he has had health issues but is still fighting and still manipulating , he is the consummate story teller now starring in his own drama.

As she remarked, if his victims turned up in court, weeping, shuffling along, dressed in disheveled clothing they would be accused of milking it, but HW trundling along on a Zimmer frame surrounded by muscle, well that's a broken man right there for all to see, confused and distressed by the stress of it all. Straight out of central casting, I could almost hear the teeny tiny violins.

It’s almost comical

Sadly many will see a broken man Angry

I hope he gets a sentence he deserves to and shame that so many who turned a blind eye are back in the public eye having pretended to be remorseful

And today the arrogant bugger was caught (not for the first time) using his mobile phones in court. The judge has threatened him with revoking his bail if he does it again. The man clearly thinks he is untouchable and the rules don't apply to him.

Nah, people will through that.

TooleyVanDooley · 07/01/2020 19:13

See through that

onalongsabbatical · 07/01/2020 19:15

I do hope he gets a long sentence. Please.

It reminded me of the filming of Rolf Harris turning up at his court case, being supported by friends or family holding him up as if he could barely walk. Sympathy grabber, like Weinstein.

pigsDOfly · 07/01/2020 19:21

Nah, I don't think he's convincing enough with his 'broken man' act to be Oscar nominated.

Nousernameforme · 07/01/2020 19:22

When he had to walk up the stairs he didnt look feeble at all I think he forgot for a moment before waiting to be helped not that great an actor

Pipandmum · 07/01/2020 19:23

You really think people are that gullible. Oh Trump - maybe then.

IHaveBrilloHair · 07/01/2020 19:24

I'm glad he's broken, if he is, just think of all the women he broke over the years.
Vile man.

stouffer · 07/01/2020 19:24

Funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing. Hope someone kicks the wanker’s Zimmer frame from under him or he does a “Mugabe tumble” on camera.

Proudownerofplants · 07/01/2020 19:36

Nahh I think he has over egged it and most of the papers have commented on his charade so hopefully nobody will be fooled. He could have gone for the same effect more subtly but the Zimmer frame just looks like a pisstake

Mockers2020Vision · 07/01/2020 19:37

Sympathy grabber

Not all he'll grab if he gets an eighth of a chance.

The Real Question is, Who's going to play him in the movie?

John Malkovic - too skinny
James Gandolfini - too dead
Kevin Spacey - errrrrrr?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 07/01/2020 22:13

He has even surrounded himself with very big tall men - he is a big man himself just to appear less threatening

It really angers me that he is so arrogant to think people can’t see through this

Christmadtree · 07/01/2020 22:17

I was about to ask who tf is voting yabu, but then realised MN's drunk!

TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead · 07/01/2020 22:20

What a charade!

NoShitHemlock · 07/01/2020 22:47

I was reading t'internet earlier and it mentioned that (obviously) he is pulling a fast one, but the reason behind this current charade is that all of his victims mentioned the "power" he had over him- physical power, financial power, power to make/break their careers. His team are aware that the prosecutors will keep mentioning his "power" so they are doing their best to make him appear powerless. Quite clever really, the manipulative bastard!

Dapplegrey · 07/01/2020 22:52

I hope he goes to prison - what a vile man.

Rosspoldarkssaddle · 07/01/2020 23:46

He can't consistently keep up his charade, even when the cameras are on him. One minute weebling along avec zimmer, next no help at all and hoofing up the stairs like a gazelle. Bullshit.

Slatkater · 08/01/2020 00:12

I’ve certainly never seen anyone use a Zimmer frame the way he does!
