Just checking YouTube and can't find todays feed. Usually watch the Official feed but can't even see the Mirror feed either! Anybody else having problems? Supposed to be Tim Parker former Chair of PO, according to my schedule.
Not sitting today, that's for tomorrow.

Tuesday 2 July-Not sitting
Wednesday 3 July-Tim Parker - former Chair of Post Office Ltd
Thursday 4 July-Not sitting

Early days but I very much doubt we will learn anything usefull from this fella.
I've scanned through his witness statement, and he more or less he says he can't remember the details of any meeting he was in, but just makes some comments based on minutes he was provided with.I think one line of questioning will be on the fact that he reduced his hours to half a day a week sometime during his role, and was this really enough given all that was going on.

He's absolutely full of crap....talking of which I'm going to clean the stables out now as I can't stand this blokes waffle any longer.
TP - "So, if I'm honest, blah blah blah......"You mean you're not always honest? would be my reply, but I'd probably be told off by Sir Wyn for being facetious
Having said that, I just read online he donated his £75k a year salary to charity, not bad for a day and 1/2 a week, dropping to 2 days a month! But he was an 'energetic' Chair of POL!
Something about him doesn't sit right with me, he does like the sound of his own voice.
'Tim Parker is a British businessman and multimillionaire who has been chairman of the National Trust, Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) and Post Office Ltd.
From 1986 to 2014, he was successively the CEO of Kenwood, Clarks Shoes, Kwik-Fit, the AA and Samsonite.
From 7 July to 19 August 2008, Mr Parker was the first deputy mayor of London, under Boris Johnson. He was also chairman of Transport for London and CEO of the Greater London Authority during that period, before resigning.
His wealth was estimated at £247m by The Sunday Times Rich List in 2018'

After a lot of waffle from Mr Parker about not taking what is written down in emails as gospel of what was going on.
Mr Beer ''That's certainly the case, a number of people have sat in your chair and said that what they wrote does not reflect what they meant at all' with a barristers smirk.
Mr Parker, nervous laugh ''Very good''
It was, very good.

This is all a bit below Mr notso dim Tim..........or at least he thinks it is.
Has he lost the plot or just trying to baffle everyone?............can't Wyn step in and stop this obfuscation?
