Closing speeches by the prosecution and defence today. The jury will start to consider their verdict tomorrow. It might be a quick decision. Sycamore Gap felling 'bit of a laugh' to accused, says prosecutor

They are steaming piles of excrement, and I wouldn’t disparage either company by aligning them with either. We often do the Husky vs Sthil thing, Good Naturedly, but what they did was at a whole different level, than our Humor Doug
