Is this series pretty much a giant red herring?

You have to ask yourself which you would prefer to own:

All of a small startup with no outside investment and no access to specialist advisers selected by a businessman worth hundreds of millions during over five decades of business experience.

Half of a startup with £250,00 outside investment including access to specialist advisers selected by a businessman worth hundreds of millions during over five decades of business experience.

Hmm, tricky one, that.

She didn't say that you had made a false statement.

Rather she pointed out that you seem to have some axe to grind and wondered if your rather pointless observation indicted you thought this year's prize was of no worth.

So why quote me then if shes going to discuss a completely different topic? OK to answer her question, no I did not apply for this years Apprentice.

It was evidence of your bizarrely negative attitude which lead to the observation that you may have an axe to grind.

Just as well. You would have stood no chance. You're way too old for one thing.

But it's Lord Sugar who is the multi millionaire with business acumen and the one with candidates who have applied to be on The Apprentice. There's really no need for you to feel persecuted.

Why should we believe anything you say?

It is perfectly easy to opt to hide your age and yet you chose (or so you now say) to propagate a falsehood.

You say one thing and then, when that is inconvenient you try to backtrack and say something else.

Why should we believe a word you say when you are a self confessed dissembler?

She would.
I know she didn't fit well as The Apprentice, but I saw LS appear genuinely sorry to fire her. I think he would like to back her in a joint business.
