Slave Trader Philip Moss: the reckoning
Gangmaster and slave trader Philip Moss is on remand in jail. It appears that Gavin has spoken to the police and revealed more of their operations. Moss is maintaining his innocence as he was doing his three slaves a good turn by looking after them. Moss could have a future ahead as Tory Minister but in the meantime he is of course innocent until proven guilty. Given current delays that could be a while.
‘Saint’ Shula has decided to visit Moss in jail. This seemed a slightly improbable BBC story line but Shula felt she could offer Moss some guidance. In return Moss felt he could do the same for Shula. One might be tempted to see an equivalence of hypocrisy but in reality Shula is only guilty of humbug. The same is not true of Moss.
Meanwhile there is the issue of the aftermath of Moss in Ambridge. Thanks to a robust social media post by Rex David and Rooth have finally had to confront the reality of who built their new barn extension and at what price to whom.
Vince Casey calls out Call Me Russ
Vince Casey has been inspecting Russ’s Lower Loxley art gallery. Russ is concerned that not many people come to view the paintings on display. Vince, who is not the philistine David Archer thinks he is, has pointed out that this may be because the paintings are rubbish.
Meanwhile Vince has stayed overnight at Lower Loxley and has used one of the bathrooms but there has been no shower scene. Yet.
To be fair – and it was intentional on the part of the editor – most of us had Vince down as a philistine.
