What a massive piece of hopped-up shit. As if his businsess of selling overpriced supplements and shelf-stable foods at rip-off prices to gullible paranoiacs has anything to do with pushing humanity forwards.
God didn't gift us shit either, anyone can read the Bible and see plainly that its authors thought we lived under a tiny glass dome, in a universe small enough to be crossed in its entirety by a V2 rocket. They had no fucking idea that that we live on a spherical planet, or that other planets even exist! If someone who claims to be speaking for the creator of the universe can't even get basic shit like the shape of their home planet right, then you just fucking know with nailed-on certainty that it's a bunch of pure bullshit.
If we do colonise the universe, bring life to dead worlds and cross over into other realities, then all of it will be in spite of mendacious dickheads like Jones, not because of them.

Shouldn't it be Two Stops past Dagenham?

Depends on which way you go. The thought at the time was that, going from London, he isn't just Barking...he's Dagenham.
(not my joke - it was something a mate of mine who lived in Barking was prone to saying)

I seem to remember that the original was said about Thatcher, in that her nick name was Daggers . . two stops on from Barking, or something like that

The absolute best thing about this trial is that the defense accidentally sent an image of Jones' phone (i.e a back up image, rather than a photo of a phone) to the prosecution.
The image of his phone with all his texts, emails, etc on, which he didn't want to hand over during discovery. Which shows he's committed perjury.
More interesting is that the prosecution has said "You know what nobody's thought about? What happens when that phone goes to law enforcement...", and "There's going to be months of fallout from this." I'm wondering if it has texts/emails from on Jan the 5th/6th on it.

eta 2 apparently they have every text and email that he sent from the last 2 years, wonder how accurate his tax returns are?

It's a fucking delight to watch him squirm.
Honestly given the frequency of fuck-ups I have to wonder if Jones has a saboteur on his side, or if his legal team are just that amazingly shit.

So, so good. What’s the betting the jury has a couple of fruitloops on it tho.

you can never totally control for these things but it's prosecution's job to use their peremptory challenges to get them out.
though imo, being a rightwing fucknut would be grounds for removal for cause

Well, seeing as Jones has gone out of his way to shittalk the jury, I'm not sure that matters.

If I followed that correctly. His legal team were apparently informed of their ‘mistake’ and did nothing? It sounds a lot like sabotage but then again they could just be that bad.

Yeah, I remember that bit now, forgot that in the excitement of seeing Jones struggling to decide how to perjure himself. Maybe the legal team didn't understand the implications of what their opponents were asking? That would certainly chime with the "they're incredibly incompetent" hypothesis.

I fucking hope they drive him to suicide. What those poor families have been through, because of him and his ceaseless self aggrandising arrogance. No mercy, no pity.

I didn't hear that bit properly but I'd assumed they'd said the lawyers didn't say anything like that the records were sent in confidence when they sent them, which is why they could use them.
Eta: yes it was "when informed did not take any steps to identify it as privileged ... " fuck me that's incompetent or worse (better, rather
). I'd have thought it would be a bit late trying to say it was privileged after they'd sent it.

Surely the best way to keep things in confidence is not to dump a massive load of said things into the laps of the prosecution in the first place? I'm not sure how Jones' legal team would be able to expect to send information to their opponents in court, and not have them use it.
Also, I still have to marvel at how anyone can go through the process of copying an entire phone and its contents full of potentially incriminating communications, and somehow not successfully check if that's exactly what you want to do. I'd love to hear more details about how that went down. Did Jones' team try to erase incriminating data and fail? Did they have a different phone image all set up to send off, and there was a terrible mix-up? Did they just not realise the full details of what they were sending? That last one seems to be the most unbelievable one to me. Astonishing stuff.

And...
Perhaps he's quietly confident that nobody is going to find out who "set him up" (because nobody did), but a big splash about a huge reward might do something - he thinks - to make him look, er, innocenter.
Which is not, of course, to say that he is anything but innocent, but I can appreciate why he might be falling over himself to absolutely make that position abundantly clear.
