So - what do we think of these Murdoch rumours then?

[Grenoble]

I thought the irony was that he wasn't a very good lawyer either?

A late,great friend of mine knew of the Rev when he was a new boy and he said that his chambers used him once and he was useless !!! As for the gate mouthed one, I would be very doubtful of the ability of someone who takes guidance from a former page 3 model and an Australian fraudster!!!! whilst sitting under a "pyramid" !!!!

So what was the "other one" thst I seem to have missed a few weeks ago? Just like the letter "a" in the word "that", that is.

Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks ? Allegedly.

I genuinely don't know how good she is or isn't. A quick look at Wiki says that she was raised in a single parent household, went to Grammar School, got 4 a-grades at Alevel (back when that actually meant something), graduated with a First Class degree from LSE, and came top of her year when she did the Bar Exams.

What makes you say she isn't a good barrister ?

Don't overlook her celebrity dad.

I know plenty of very bright idiots, in the same way that many of the least Christian people I know are avid churchgoers.

Are you saying singlecoil is a Hypocrite?

[Mermaid]

Clearly not, he thinks his neighbours are aholes.

This all sounds very familiar... (excuse the hurried PS job)

I don't think they are aholes, I can prove it.

If this stops the odious twerp doing any more damage, great.

Regardless of how taxing the Bar Exams are she still came top of her year. That suggests that either she is indeed very bright or that all the other entrants were very thick. Combined with a first from LSE it suggests the former rather than the latter .

I agree with your point that academics mean nothing. However, from what I can see, she seems to have built up a fairly successfully career as a Barrister. Some will suggest this was down to political patronage. I'm not sure - I think you would be stupid to choose a Barrister where you MIGHT get brownie points with the Labour Party but run the risk of losing the case. So, whilst her political views might not chime with those of most PH'ers, it seems to be a case of a vineyard of sour grapes to suggest she's less than reasonably competent.

You seem to know, tell us more please.

Rupert thought she was worthy, and he has been endowed with lots of money choice.

I dont know any more. I think it would be exceptionally stupid if he has, and I don't think TB is stupid.

TB is a politician, values his reputation as a family man and always seeks public approval, RM doesn't give a monkeys about his reputation or what the public think.
