CHAIRPERSON
Well either he's going to be loyal to this group of people or he is going to stand alone, he can't have it both ways.  He said that he takes responsibility for everything that occurred there because he was in the house, it's a sort of deflected responsibility if you want.  If that be the case, then his personal approach to the taking of the television and the binoculars must be seen in the context of the group activity, and in that sense I ask the question, how does that impact on the aspect of the reasons for which they went there?
