It sounded like Mr Beer has done his bit, and tomorrow is all going to be questions from the others.
I'd love things to kick off with Mr Stein please!
Lets get the tone set for the last day biggrin

“Satan be gone!” I like it

Bottom line is they were prosecuting post masters for years after they knew the software was bug riddled st. The top bods should be prosecuted for knowingly providing false and unreliable information in those prosecutions.

All her crap about projects, reviews, operations, policies, processes, teams, and whatever else is just filler.

Thanks again.
It's been very interesting watching her and IMHO a real shane Sky/ BBC News stopped streaming it due to the election announcement/ coverage. Thankfully the chap() a few posts above has included a YouTube link
Thanks to both of you.

Beeb did cover it ...eventually.

Not sure I'm commenting on the same question but the inquiry is being streamed live, in full on BBC iPlayer.

“This was, in effect, a missunderstanding between you and the keyboard?”
He almost, almost provoked an indignant response from her with that quip I thought. Sadly she gathered it up before we caught a glimpse of the real PV

The question I would dearly love to ask is "How often have you told this lie by now?"

As posted earlier I'd have been kicked out from the audience a good while back.

Bad form but I did LoL at the Satan heckling.

not been able to see much of the coverage but have we seen anything we didn't already know yet?

Yes, some unequivocal evidence of what one had suspected - just how overriding the protection of the brand was to PV, so much so that she herself was complicit in withholding evidence from the CCRC. Just how utterly rotten the PO's culture was, perhaps.

When all of the innocent sub PM ‘s were taken to court and found “ guilty “ ( based entirely on what the computer incorrectly said ) why was the fact that no actual missing money was ever found not been mentioned ?
Surely the courts might have asked the question ?
Or am I just being dense ?

And another question if I may …whilst we would all cheerfully help fund Alan Bates private prosecution ( assuming the CPS don’t now go ahead ) other than a potential jail sentence are there possibilities of financial reimbursement from the likes of PV downwards ?

I better understand the why of this now I think, in that the Enquiry has provided KCs for the SPMs et al, who are instructing them on points they want raising, and perhaps the tone of it, too.

Indeed he is, Stein will be popcorn worthy, he does need to rein it in a bit though or Sir Wyn will start to protect her as he just did.

But she continues, I didn't see it, no one told me, it wasn't my culture, I'm clear on this (like that gives us any comfort) It was complex, blah blah blah...

Off with her head! (to quote Lewis Carroll)

It's not as effective a strategy as Mr Beer's I think, because it has a dual purpose, as opposed to simply getting the truth out.

Can anyone else hear Mr Stein heavy breathing into his mic when she's answering?
