Didn't she say before that she wouldn't settle out of court and wanted it to go to trial as a matter of principle? What happened to that?

Maybe in America, or for the rich and wealthy. Electing trial from the Magistrates in this country takes some sweating.

It’s rarer than hens teeth for me to find myself ‘nodding along’ while listening to James OBrian on LBC. He was fair tearing into this story today, and I was fair nodding along. 
 

With all the dark state mechanism of Buck House, security agencies, upper civil service and the pick of the (supposedly) greatest legal, cultural, constitutional, administrative and procedural advisors.....

 

He was bumming around with a right bunch of noncing, wrong ‘uns and NOBODY thought to reign him in...?  Nah, I’m not ‘aving it. 
 

If you want to catch a professional rant worth getting OBrexit on catch up at LBC.

I'm no great fan of O'B either. He nailed it today mind, when he said, Andrew was part of a sex trafficking ring, indirectly, or not. None of us will ever be able to prove it though.

Not when they lose and he's convicted as a nonce. They wanted a quiet settlement and she said she wanted justice.

Exactly. She said she wanted a trial because a settlement was saying the wealthy and entitled can do what they want and buy their way out of trouble. She wanted to make a point, a victory for the victims.

 

And then they started talking millions and all those principles seem to have gone out the window.

 

What want to know is why so many of the ultra rich and powerful seem to be nonces?

She wanted to up the ante, he then has to respond by saying he also wants a trial. Both wanted a settlement. That's my reading anyway.
