Just a sneak peak at my forthcoming video on Mr Beer. I am trying to fix the sound on the full video, which is around 1hr long .... and because it's in 4k and has a few special effects, takes a very very long time to render. Hopefully will be up sometime over the weekend :)

    The best thing about Mr Beer is that he is meticulous, he is proficient in his presentation and formidable in his questioning. A truly professional prosecutor.

    He is indeed a true professional but goodness this is going on forever and still at the enquiry stage. The culprits or suspects are years from trial at this rate and even longer for convictions in the event that any are convicted, which frankly seems unlikely twenty years on. Justice and full compensation for the postmasters is more important than the merits and scrolling down of Mr. Beer bless him. At this rate of progress this may never happen, sadly, and by no means a deterrent for future scandals if this is how long it takes. I can see at least four people who could be convicted tomorrow morning, alas, that wont happen. Dickens wrote Bleak House and this is the next episode. Btw, Claire Dobbins, the lawyer defending Mr Jenkins is outstanding, and a whole load quicker. Taking nothing away from Beer & co, its a bit of a soap opera at this point frankly.

    I'm loving your take on things. The morality of coding seems so obvious they way you present it, but yet it was absent in so many people's thinking. Maybe because it can't be measured and there's no expectation for accountability? Me? I'm just sick n tired of inadequate corporate processes. It seems everything is designed to go wrong, and does so often.

Not seen anything like that since Sheffield based Dxxxx Gxxx operated 2 seats in a 3 way negotiation to offer franchises to Co Op and engineering his own pay off as purported intermediary with power of acceptance or better acceptance or better still acceptance from an unsuspecting bidder.

    Hiya Paul, I hope this finds you well. And no - I am not some nutter who has looked you up just to harass the living daylights of ya. Instead, I’m an Irish guy who has simply become fascinated at the goings on at The UK Post Office. Thank you for your you tube videos. They frequently cut to the heart of what’s been going on in this case - management corruption on an industrial scale (my words, not yours). If I could reach into history & retrieve one person (long gone) & drag him back to the present day - that person would be Charles Dickens. He had a nose for corruption the size of an elephant’s trunk. He’d be pacing the pavement outside the enquiry for days, months & years on end. I’m not taking any xenophobic smug satisfaction from the proceedings in London. Far from it - events such as this could happen anywhere. But equally, I can’t help thinking that the class system that pervades the UK, has fed in no small way, into this scandal. In recent years, in my country (home), we have faced an uphill struggle to ensure our son gets the care he so richly deserves. I am so happy now to be able to report, we have managed to push that boulder to the mountain top & have finally arrived at our destination - CARE CITY! Anyway, I digress - back to POL: in the eyes of senior management at The Post Office, the sub postmasters & postmistresses were in fact a sub species! The thought that they were anything other than guilty, never even crossed PV et al’s minds. Beer, Henry, Page (‘my learned junior’😀), Stein & Moloney are all magnificent as you have pointed out. Even Wyn (sorry, don’t do sirs around here) seems a wily fox, who I expect in classic PO vernacular…………. to MAKE GOOD! Thank you again Paul - I have liked (liked is too small a word) & subscribed. Please keep it goin’! Noel

    You haven't got it completely wrong. Mr Beer is a funny man. He exchanged the very occasional joke with Sir Wyn. He made a joke about Mr Blake at one point after a truckload of discloisure had the poor chap up all night sorting through it. He used humour with more friendly witnesses to a different end than the unfriendlies. Or the idiots. From time to time, his humour was quick and off the cuff. Other times it was premeditated and well constructed. Some of it cutting, some of it affectionate, some of it self deprecating, some of it conspiratorial. All of it dryer than the surface of Mars.

    obedience leads to deadly outcomes, yet we live in a society and culture that demands this and the cost of disobedience is job ,career or freedom, so can we scapegoat individuals without protecting their right to question or decline assent. The weight of the law points to unquestioning obedience as default. i think we must learn the lessons and withdraw the pecuniary advantages of compliance. the human mind has unending propensity to shift responsability from themselves

He has poor eyesight look at his glasses that's why he cant see the screen and relies on printed paper. He was out of his comfort zone and was definitely not lying. He was told by management what he could say or get fired. Roderic was shitting himself.

    I've never seen Mr Beer or Mr Blake before but hats off to a world class act and the commentary on it. Mr Beer showed why Horizon was a scandal - because the Post Office employed and promoted a particular type of pompous or ineffective director, chair and senior executive promoted or installed well beyond their underlying level of competence. It wasn't me it was anybody else! Great analysis.

Stop staring at me like a bird of prey I'm all mixed up, I got nothing to say I don't remember, oh I don't remember" There are some beautiful and well-justified "bird of prey" looks around the 8th minute.
