to enjoy hearing Paula Vennels being taken apart?

[Sausagenbacon]

Is anyone else listening - radio 5 at the moment. Paula Vennels being slowly picked apart by an expert?

On Radio 5 ...

I'm watching the Youtube live stream. It's going to be a gruelling few days for her.

I am listening

The fact that she is a C of E vicar shocks me. Then I remember the many stories of vicars and priests doing all sorts of awful things.

I'm watching on Sky news. What a heartless, shell-backed mendacious creature she is

The crocodile tears are nauseating.

Staring to cry now

She destroyed people's lives.
Spare me the crocodile tears

Exactly. People were jailed and committed suicide. On her watch

The clinical way in which she is being dissected is a wonder to behold.

She prosecuted people, knowing that there were serious flaws with the system and then denied it. I'm sure that her victims will be able to see her prosecuted for malicious prosecution, as well as possibly misfeasance in a public office.

What time did she start giving evidence? Just wondering how much I've missed.

Bout 10 am

Oh great, haven't missed much then. Cheers

It was just before 10am @sprigatito - they had a fire drill just after it started so it was paused for a few minutes!

Shell-backed mendacious creature is a perfect description.

I’ve been watching it on TV whilst working, I think she only feels sorry for herself sadly. Her apology didn’t seem sincere.

I think she must be shocked to find herself in this situation

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I can listen from the beginning on BBC Sounds.

I never listen to 5live and I’m unfamiliar with the programmes there. Do I start listening halfway through Nicky Campbell?

I really hope that if I was in a similar position, I could find it in my heart to admit what I did was wrong. Then again, I will never be so high up in an organisation, partly because I am not usually a lying mendacious bastard.

I was listening on nicky Campbell, but now watching on YouTube

Here on the BBC news webpage is the live broadcast.

The barrister has the patience of a fucking saint and he’s worth every penny he’s getting for this. I’m organising my shit tip bookcases and keep having to stop to listen to her bare faced lies. It’s astonishing.

What a year for inquiries.

It’s live on channel 4

Yes it does sound far too shallow, Ms Vennels. 'Oh I'm so sorry'.

Pfft.

More crying. Boo hoo.
