ReplyDeleteUnlikely pairing
ReplyDeleteIf they were to be found guilty, how unbecoming and trashy. Scum. They do not deserve any respect, especially the professor - shameful and shameless. Only If they are guilty of course. I hope they are not because it would be just so awful
ReplyDeleteEstate agents aren’t known for being the most trustworthy lot, at least that is the stereotype, I did not think the same to be true of doctors and academics. If this “fraud” is proven in court , then they have both bought their respective professions into disrepute. Let’s hope for their sakes they come out of this intact. Amen
ReplyDeleteMaybe the supervising staff at the University need to be looked at as where were they when all this was going on? probably just scratching the surface?
ReplyDeleteInnocent until proven guilty
DeleteThey have not been found guilty yet so can we give them a chance to prove themselves? That is fair to do. Don’t think any professor would work so hard and stoop so low for such small gain.
ReplyDeleteHow did they plea in Canterbury?
ReplyDeleteAssume that they pleaded not guilty hence the trial
ReplyDeleteNOTE: There is a pending Crown Court trial so not all comments are suitable to be published.
ReplyDeleteWhich crown court will the trial be at?
ReplyDeleteWhat “pleasant” company these two find themselves along - thieving priests and upskirters!
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. Dr Rahman was my lecturer. He was so nice. Hope it’s a misunderstanding & all becomes clear.
