damn son

Murdochs deny knowledge of wrongdoing, shee-it
Updated 21 minutes ago

unflappable, this Con

you wouldn't think he was facing the Murdochs

Stop pounding the table! So rude!

It's weird, they have the same body language, their shoulders tilt at the same angle at the same time.

it's like he's questioning Keith Vaz

"I did not see the incident" A. Wenger

a mighty hump xp

I thought JM was at his shakiest on Tom Crone - they didn't pursue that

i never actually saw that speech JM gave on the BBC a few years ago, kinda wanna dig it up now out of fascination

he really doesn't want to answer the "who paid the legal fees" question

Joel Klein hasn't moved for five minutes.

seems bad how JM doesn't know facts basic to the case

Stop pounding the table! So rude!

he's very canny on this (he thinks): he's not pounding, so he doesn't look like he's on the ropes; he's slapping the table right under the mic, so he'll sound emphatic

oh man this guy

answering a question with the words "I'd like to answer that question" = sure sign that you have no such intention

imagining tomorrow's Guardian

Jonathan Freedland going on about fathers and sons
body language
will say the MPs were calm and did a good job
and it's unusual and historic that Parliament got them here (as we know)

and will maybe conclude AN AWAY DRAW ON POINTS

or that he's startled himself by having an answer, for a change

when the Con said 'I seem to be getting further with RM' -- that was the biggest putdown of JM so far

no that was such a brave attempt to just utterly drown the truth in platitudes - it's a great question, it's a specific question; i was very surprised to find that-

weirdly white finger nails!

"That's a very good question" = "I have no intention in hell of answering that" right?

wow yeah
xp

weirdly white finger nails!

that's what they're hanging on by

hey i wonder if james sees this as an opportunity to upstage his dad and accelerate his downfall

because he's certainly taking the reigns here, for better or worse

20 damn microphones those tabloid hacks

LOOOOOOOOL at not being expected to stand by a quote because 20 mics were stuck in his face outside his home!

ugh james is now feigning sentimentality re notw

the rebekah brooks anguish scene is going to slay in the film

1602:

Philip Davies asks if the Murdochs regret ending the News of the World to "save" Rebekah Brooks. The two decisions were "totally unrelated", Rupert Murdoch says.

TOTALLY UNRELATED!

BANG mulcaire question

oh god this guy

Get these chumps off my screen, Lady Macbeth's been waiting in the wings for half an hour now

james repeatedly struggling with the concept of a yes/no question

o rly are we doin this it makes me so sad

"i don't know the details of the civil actions? but i do know? that i was very disturbed? when i found out?"

SPOTTED: James Murdoch appears to have a spray-tan gone RONG.

enough of the speak-to

there is an awful lot these two don't know, despite (a) running the company for decades and (b) having had several days to prepare for this

20 damn microphones those tabloid hacks
