She’s had 10 years to prepare, to visualise herself as the victim of subordinates who never put her in the loop. In the end the lies can become a reality in her mind’s eye.
There’ll be plenty of contrived reaches for the box of Kleenex to break the barristers flow. Along with hollow “sorry”s and “If only I knew then what I’ve since learnt”.
The judge’s final report will destroy the lot of them, there’ll be a great deal of unconvincing or unreliable witness.
Beer is expertly fact and falsehoods gathering, it’s not a prosecution to impress the jury, he doesn’t need to be in attack mode.
It's very complex because of 20 entities under the spotlight, some lying ... contractors, consultants, suppliers, some are overseas.
I do think there'll be criminal prosecutions because explicit building codes were broken, also money saved by surreptitiously and illegally using cheaper products.
Regarding impoverishing the corrupt individuals.
The problem with the blood scandal was it centred on arrogant to evil ‘experts’ 40 years ago, the main doctor long dead. Then governments of all colours, probably influenced by cocky Whitehall NHS mandarins to ignore the noise and save £b’s. So...
I remember a comment 25 years ago by Alan Sugar about management consultants such as McKinsey and Deloitte’s. Not joking, he said their first meet every Monday morning was how many billable hours they could make out of their client that week. He ditched using them early on.
For many, many years she “wasn’t aware” that the PO engaged a 100+ investigators, nor that the prosecutions were private cases under special statute brought by her business. Despite heading up that function, before her promotion.
Scamming for decades. Ripping off SME’s too.
I knew a local tools retailer in the 90’s where they were wooed by a Southampton based software company that sold bespoke integrated accounting, POS and stock ledger system. Stubbornly and falling for the slick bullsh1t they signed up, an upfront...
My sister in law was one of 1,000’s working as faux ‘consultants’ (operating through the tax ruse of one man band limited companies) on Blair’s NHS IT system. As a project manager she grossed £200k a year from it. She was in charge of bods on £300 per day, this was the 00’s so incredible money...
Awful 6 o’clock news summaries from bbc and itv meridian. Much mention that she apologised, also her “brought to tears”.
That was not the main message from today in any shape or form.
Instead; her callousness over the suicide, blaming others, damning texts and emails.
My aspiration is ultimately that a load of PO execs and some solicitors serve lengthy prison terms. I wouldn't shed a tear over their financial ruin too.
Along the way, I won't abandon my mocking sense of humour against these blatant self-serving liars.
In the exchanges, it's interesting how...
Depending on your sense of humour, but it's right down my alley .... on Youtube I'm streaming the Telegraph coverage of the enquiry .... helpfully you can go back and forth, skip the enquiry breaks.
The scroll of viewer chat down the right is hilarious. Some pertinent comments, but also wits...
