Oh - has it frozen again? Or just me?

Thank you @prh47bridge that makes perfect sense.

Mines OK

No, just me…..

How many billion transactions did POL do? I don't think he's mentioned it before 😂😂😂

Mine froze for a few seconds, Quebeccles.

He sent an email!! Earning his keep, there. One whole email.

He's just saying the sub postmasters are thieves if there's a discrepancy.

He is flapping like a fish now ....

I can see this descending into a sweary mess…

His ego is fracturing, as in, psychiatrically.

He should stand as a politician. He's deflecting by telling us about RM privately prosecuting house owners for their dogs biting posties 🤣

Sir Wyn has had enough now.

Sir Wyn must be drafting his section on George Thomson in his head already.

OMG! "Why would you not be tempted?" if everything wrong was blamed on a bug.

He is completely missing the point.

Maybe there were SPMR/employees who stole money.
But if you have a computer system that has bugs and doesnt recotd things properly, then you don't have concrete evidence that the SPMR stole the money.

Ooooohhhh bloody hell Mr Stein.

Now we have Ms "fantastix withering look" Page.

We’ve noted before that the PO were determined to believe that SPMs and staff were thieving and that Horizon had just brought that out into the open……this appalling specimen is that belief manifested in human form.

I think Sir Wyn was about to have words just then. Hoping he might still do so.

Much as I detest listening to this bastard, I wish that proceedings could go on beyond 3pm if more questions need to be asked.

Thomson said he has not received legal guidance for the Inquiry because NFSP refused to fund it. That would be them knowing that he is beyond toxic for them.

Oooh. The NFSP asking questions now. This must be some feat of distancing.

I knew it! It's clear he doesn't have a lawyer.

But only because the NFSP won't pay for it.

Now he's being asked 'how can you do that?' by his own union's lawyers!!!

He's referred to billion of transactions about a thousand times!

We should have had a drinking bingo game going

"I make no apology for that"
"70 million transactions"
"I've already answered that 7 or 8 tines"
"SPMR were stealing before Horizon and after"

I'd be hammered and passed out by now.
