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

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.

Yeah, quite possible.

 

He said he can't sweat, bet he was sweating bullets saying he wanted a trial too. 😂

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. 

 

 

They managed to 'miss' Saville too.

The right to roam works well in many countries. There are obvious exceptions for people's residences, arable land and areas of special sensitivity. 

 

It was a colossal culture shock for me moving back to England (from Scotland) seeing all the 'private property - trespassers prosecuted' signs.

Though there was an exception covering gardens?
