It was not to prove or disprove your suggestion - I just couldn't recall
that happening.

It was me who asked Karen if she was with the police because of the way
she spoke and what she said and she admitted that she was, right away.
I did not demand that she admit it and give her political affiliation
and employment history...although the answer to the former would
probably surprise no one.
When she realised that 'personal attack' might be able to claim another
scalp, she went after Jack Ellis and that is when I pointed out to her
that she had not been completely honest with us by not revealing that
she was with the police when she defended them in the beginning:
