    Poor output from Virgin Media with their 4 channels. They could have done better considering they have a dedicated Christmas channel on the player

    @Anthony Ross: The jury did not find that Trump had raped Carroll, as she alleged. But it said that he was shown by a preponderance of the evidence to have sexually abused her, and then told a malicious falsehood about her that did serious damage to her reputation. After years of credible allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump, yesterday’s verdict is the first time that a court has said that such a claim has been proven to be true.
