“how they could ever be trusted by ordinary people to fight for their rights when they so callously and unfairly persisted in persecuting an innocent woman and tearing strips off her in front of the whole world.’”

I hope the voters take note of this!

Thanks Dusty, these updates have been great for explaining this case.

You're welcome, Barbara and you are right but the trouble is the Labour Party there are probably just as bad. What is needed is a dramatic change of leadership at the head of the Liberal Party. We shall see!

Thanks, Dusty. I, too, see an incapable man in a role that he is not suited for. He clearly panicked in the face of something he didn't understand, i.e. people doing things without every detail being viewed from a PR angle. This exchange shows it clearly:

"And you understood, didn’t you, that she would give an interview to, basically, anyone?---I understood that’s what she was saying. *I found it incredible that someone would say that*... Right. But you did understand that’s what she had been saying?---Yes... And you had no information to the contrary, did you?---No. *But I didn’t believe what she was saying*... You had no reasonable basis, based on what you knew that day, to disbelieve Ms Keen’s statement to the effect that she would give interviews to anyone?---I – *I thought it was a threadbare statement*. If you are giving interviews on various platforms, you’re posting a Barbie-doll image, you’re being pictured with a – a well-known anti-Semite, that – *that was a hard thing to believe, and I didn’t accept it.*" (my emphasis)

He has no idea what honest people do. For him, everything is filtered through the lens of media approbation. I hope his constituents see what a poor politician he is, and that only the opinion of the Press matters to him.

I'm delighted he took on such a principled woman who handed him his backside!

On another topic, I understand the verdicts in Gisèle Pélicot's case are expected to be handed down tomorrow (I don't know if sentencing is immediate in France, though). I'm on tenterhooks - I hope the judge does what we all feel he should, but fear that he won't.

Hi Jeremy

I agree re Pesutto plus his team must be to blame as well. By this date all the old defamatory allegations about Kellie-Jay (many arising from the simple fact that she can't know exactly who is turning up at a LWS event) had been well and truly shredded but his team dug them all out again without any further examination. It should have been very easy, for example, to locate this article by Heather Brunskell-Evans on Savage Minds from 2022: https://savageminds.substack.com/p/policing-adult-human-females

Also he and his team were listening to the MSM who are happy to peddle the old lies even after they have been disproven. If he had listened to the 'Champagne Interview' he would see how insistent they all were that they started off thinking that the Nazis must be part of the TRAs and were amazed at how the police were escorting them through the lines.

Moira is a bit inexperienced to be the Liberal Party leader but could they parachute a GC person in there!! Pesutto is toast!

Everything crossed re Giselle Pelicot!!

Yes. It looks like they were running around like headless chickens in the first couple of days, got cornered by their poor response, then manipulated by trans-ideologues. Moira may be inexperienced, but I think she'd have shown more nous in a similar position.

I'm sure she would!

The Liberals were also running scared of Labour who were happily trumpeting all the lies and misinformation. If Pesutto had simply backed up Moira it might have been the Labour Leader Mr Andrews facing the defamation action!!
