Alex was largely coherent on this occasion...and yet still said nothing.
Just deflection and goading tone. No real defence there. But Hughie managed it fairly well. Not too shouty at all. Wouldn't be deflected. Well, until he was shepherded.
I do hope they've learned what conflicted means because they appeared to be be rather conflicted themselves. Have they ever stayed so silent during an argument?
They were strangely quiet throughout. Slack jawed and quiet.
Either they know Alex was wrong and Hughie right so could offer no defence or they're too afraid to go up against popular with the public Hughie - anyone else would have been pounced upon. Or both. Conflicted.
