I agree, they are all lying to back each other up and try to keep himself and the others out of prison. The guilty have to face justice for the lives they've destroyed, and the lives that have been taken because of the crimes they accused these innocent people of.

The only thing that hits you directly in the face whilst looking at this irritating witness, is the blatant disregard he has for the inquiry. You can tell this from the lack of posture and slovenly position while giving his limited recall of the events he was fully involved with. It begs the question as to his competency in his senior position. He is as useless as a chocolate teapot, and that's the polite way in describing him.
That won't happen. They will be protected. Why do you think none of them have ever even been interviewed by the police? Because they are Freemasons, and so are the police. The law doesn't apply to the Brotherhood.
The bottom line is that not only did managers know there was a real problem, there was total cynicism about the impact of this issue on the lives of INNOCENT people and their families. There need to be prosecutions and lengthy jail sentences where guilt is proven. At no time did board members talk to the accused, shadow them at work. No one WANTED TO KNOW.
If I was pressing charges against hundreds of my own employees, resulting in many prison sentences and even suicides, I think I might have taken more than a passing interest in the process. So either he is lying about how little he knew, or he was heartlessly indifferent. Neither is a good look.
THIS IS IMPORTANT. And I want to know why no one has looked into this and asked the questions. Mr Rudkin was invited to Fujitsu Bracknell HQ. He saw what he saw. The next day his wife was awoken by a Post Office Audit team to suddenly announce that they were now 40,000 quid in the black and Rudkin sacked etc. They ( the post office and Fujitsu then denied Rudkin had ever been to the Bracknell HQ and the visitor book vanished and emails were deleted) Their lives were ruined that day because of what Mr Rudkin saw and heard. WHO at POL and Fujitsu ordered that REVENGE audit? Someone high up ordered all that to happen. Why has this not been brought up in the enquiry?
She didn't point out that the subject line of that email from Rod Ismay contained the words ATTACK ON HORIZON, which would have given even more weight to her assertion that this trial was being used to vindicate Horizon, rather than to determine whether a crime had been committed.
My husband worked for Fujitsu but not on Horizon, and not in Bracknell. Long before it was renamed Horizon and was Pathway, it was known to be a crock of shit. Everyone knew.
I once worked for another ex-state owned company with an integrated EPOS system provided by this company... the system became known as the Electronic Pile Of S!!t. The only people taken to court though was the client company by HMRC because the system couldn't even count! It took 5 years to sort out and only gradually did it become the system it ought to have been on delivery.
As a person from a country outside the United Kingdom , New Zealand and having recently viewed the events on the television documentary, there is an event here in New Zealand in 1978 which had far reaching implication on corporate integrity, that was the 1978 Air disaster in which a DC-10 collided on Mt Erebus, Antarctica with the loss of all lives. The Company, Air New Zealand Ltd, blamed the flight crew for a navigational era but a Royal Commission report, now known as the Mahon Report squarely blamed Air New Zealand for making changes in the flight plan without informing the crew, and this led to the disaster. The famous words that even today resound from Justice Mohan’s report are, and would ring true to this Horizon cover up, and to quote “An orchestrated litany of lies” It’s such blatant lying and deception it’s almost unbelievable. It has ruined many lives and then the gawl of the then Post Office CEO receiving an honour is even more riling. She should be stripped of all human dignity for what she did.
Why are these people not in jail? They sent innocent people to jail, ruined their lives and livelihoods and these sociopaths were paid millions in bonuses and given honours.
He completely nonchalant and distant from the atrocities he oversaw. No emotion, no care, no truth. He is a disgusting , cruel and complicit manager. I presume he took the same oath as the other evil staff...' I promise to tell the truth, and anything BUT the truth' I just hope they have a cell door open for this despicable thing too.
I know what would happen to me and all other working class people if we were to lie about our involvement in such a scandal and innocent people were jailed.
She asked him whether or not he knew about the bug at the time, he answered with "Yes" then a minute later says he wasn't informed of it at the time. I hope he's under oath and everything he says can be used against him at his trial.
That won't happen. They will be protected. Why do you think none of them have ever even been interviewed by the police? Because they are Freemasons, and so are the police. The law doesn't apply to the Brotherhood.
The way this country is going they are going to have to build a lot more prisons. The number of so called people at the top that are nothing more than crooks and self servers is staggering. A big part of the problem is the so called bosses constantly get away with it, the British justice system is a laughing stock. The whole country needs reformed.
What's also been revealed is that the board is populated by members sitting on multiple other boards and that they obviously couldn't or wouldn't give this whole affair the scrutiny it needed
He’s not sitting back in his chair because he’s being casual, it’s because he subconsciously wants to distance himself from the questions as far as possible. He’s definitely not telling the whole truth.
I cannot believe that his staff took it upon themselves to deceive not only the courts, the accused and their own boss. He must have approved and encouraged their actions. At best he was negligent. I cannot see how some of these PO staff have not already been arrested and charged?
Through out these hearings its clear they all knew what was going on and knew innocent people were in prison or being charged and convicted but now its a game of cover up..... all are guilty should be sent to jail. Fujitsu should be sued till they go under
The scumbag should be put in handcuffs even before the session ends. Where are the police? Get him arrested immediately! He is committing perjory under oath!
Lying trough his teeth to save his own skin when knowing full well that a innocent person went to prison. It's enough to make an atheist hope there is a higher place.
If this man aswell as Vennells and some of the investigation team for the Post Office are not criminally charged and jailed after this enquiry then there can never be any justice for those falsely accused.
One thing that has jumped out to me since the names of all the top people at the Post Office have emerged is that all of them seem to have jumped from one top job to another since leaving. This seems to have become the way our establishment works. It's not whether people are any good at their job, it's what other senior positions the have held.
Yes absolutely. Q1: How good are you at telling convincing lies? Q2: And how good are you at telling convincing lies? You have the position. (It's not a "job" is it?) .
Just lock up all PO and Fujitsu management involved in this cover up. Sadly, nothing whatsoever will happen, and as a consequence, distrust in the legal system will plummet further. (if that's possible.)
It seems the Post Office senior executive only turned up to collect their pay cheques. They are now denying knowledge, by implication someone else was. What was he doing for his pay cheque? The buck stops at the senior executive, regardless of whether he read it or not. It was his job to know.
"I don't know, I don't remember, I wasn't there". This is the best the Chief Exec of the PO can come up with. If this was truly the case, then what were they paying him for?

I agree. When it's time to justify high salaries for bosses the narrative is as they take so much responsibility but when things go wrong we see they didn't know anything going on if it's bad.
He is squirming rather a lot, isn't he. "I didn't know about it"; "No I didn't know about any of it", he says. So besides being totally clueless he's not much of a boss either, and certainly not worth his £500,000 salary. The arrogant, despicable individuals running POL UK deserve to see the inside of a jail cell for a good few years.
How do these inept and incompetent individuals get to be in these senior positions?! He was the managing director of this business, how can he say that he had no knowledge of what has to be the largest number of prosecutions in their history?
The awful reality is that it may well take a private prosecution to make these vile contemptible liars face the justice they deserve. The problem is it appears the cover up and deceit is by almost as many people as those wrongly convicted. Fijitsu, The government, MPs, Prime ministers, the post office union as well as the various Post Office senior management teams. They all deserve to face the utmost judicial scrutiny for abhorrent behaviour
Problem is that if they were willing to cover it up , they are willing to lie now . They know the consequences if they admit this in view of the convictions . Most definitely they’d be subject to a criminal investigation. He has no choice but to deny and take his chances on whether it’s investigated by the police . If they do they will find the evidence or a digital trail to support a conclusion they’ve tampered with it to cover their tracks . Eitherway , they will have a very hard time . No one thinks they are innocent at all of a cover up . No one !!
You see a man who knows the prospect of criminal action is on the horizon ( sic ) and is putting up as much as a smokescreen as he can to protect him and his co-conspirators . Fortunately there is a wind of change blowing through this enquiry and the smokescreen is becoming very thin. It won’t be long before this utterly dishonest and immoral bunch of Lawyers and professional managers find themselves facing charges for perjury and perverting the course of justice.
@selby16 I think the public outrage is such that criminal proceedings are very likely, so far the police have not pressed any charges to see what the enquiry throws up but with the news that POL has found yet more documents and is trying to confuse the issue with the controlled release of huge amounts of data I see the need police action increasing my the second.
We can live in hope. But I doubt it. The system will look after itself. Baroness Mone took millions £. At worst Angela Rayner owes about £3000. Which of these has had the most coverage.

Because they are Freemasons, and so are the police. The law doesn't apply to the Brotherhood.
The bottom line is that not only did managers know there was a real problem, there was total cynicism about the impact of this issue on the lives of INNOCENT people and their families.
There need to be prosecutions and lengthy jail sentences where guilt is proven.
At no time did board members talk to the accused, shadow them at work. No one WANTED TO KNOW.
If I was pressing charges against hundreds of my own employees, resulting in many prison sentences and even suicides, I think I might have taken more than a passing interest in the process. So either he is lying about how little he knew, or he was heartlessly indifferent. Neither is a good look.
These disgusting people need to ge put on trial for lying and causibgvso much misery!
Arrogant senior management "don't challenge me" attitude, seen it many times over the years
THIS IS IMPORTANT. And I want to know why no one has looked into this and asked the questions. Mr Rudkin was invited to Fujitsu Bracknell HQ. He saw what he saw. The next day his wife was awoken by a Post Office Audit team to suddenly announce that they were now 40,000 quid in the black and Rudkin sacked etc. They ( the post office and Fujitsu then denied Rudkin had ever been to the Bracknell HQ and the visitor book vanished and emails were deleted) Their lives were ruined that day because of what Mr Rudkin saw and heard. WHO at POL and Fujitsu ordered that REVENGE audit? Someone high up ordered all that to happen. Why has this not been brought up in the enquiry?
She didn't point out that the subject line of that email from Rod Ismay contained the words ATTACK ON HORIZON, which would have given even more weight to her assertion that this trial was being used to vindicate Horizon, rather than to determine whether a crime had been committed.
An incompetent criminal is still a criminal.
The clear anger in her eyes reflects how the public sees this case.
She is absolutely furious
My husband worked for Fujitsu but not on Horizon, and not in Bracknell. Long before it was renamed Horizon and was Pathway, it was known to be a crock of shit. Everyone knew.
I once worked for another ex-state owned company with an integrated EPOS system provided by this company... the system became known as the Electronic Pile Of S!!t. The only people taken to court though was the client company by HMRC because the system couldn't even count! It took 5 years to sort out and only gradually did it become the system it ought to have been on delivery.
The software team should also be jailed.
I'm not aware , I didn't know , I can't recall, I don't remember, He remembered giving evidence against the post masters. What a despicable person.
As a person from a country outside the United Kingdom , New Zealand and having recently viewed the events on the television documentary, there is an event here in New Zealand in 1978 which had far reaching implication on corporate integrity, that was the 1978 Air disaster in which a DC-10 collided on Mt Erebus, Antarctica with the loss of all lives.
The Company, Air New Zealand Ltd, blamed the flight crew for a navigational era but a Royal Commission report, now known as the Mahon Report squarely blamed Air New Zealand for making changes in the flight plan without informing the crew, and this led to the disaster. The famous words that even today resound from Justice Mohan’s report are, and would ring true to this Horizon cover up, and to quote “An orchestrated litany of lies”
It’s such blatant lying and deception it’s almost unbelievable. It has ruined many lives and then the gawl of the then Post Office CEO receiving an honour is even more riling. She should be stripped of all human dignity for what she did.
I believe Ms Vennells has returned the honour she received from the state, and has now become a priest.🤨
Why are these people not in jail? They sent innocent people to jail, ruined their lives and livelihoods and these sociopaths were paid millions in bonuses and given honours.
He completely nonchalant and distant from the atrocities he oversaw. No emotion, no care, no truth. He is a disgusting , cruel and complicit manager. I presume he took the same oath as the other evil staff...' I promise to tell the truth, and anything BUT the truth' I just hope they have a cell door open for this despicable thing too.
Narcissists are incapable of caring what anybody else thinks about them.
David Smith has so little respect for the process he doesn’t even sit up straight.
Narcissists are incapable of caring what anybody else thinks about them.
6:25 The email title is "...- Attack on Horizon". They knew Horizon was being challenged and withheld evidence of its failings. Simple.
What an absolutely ghastly individual, he takes being arrogant to a whole new level.
Shocking to watch and with a heart pounding. My worry is these appalling people Don't have a miserable life in jail !!
This man was running the Post Office, earning more than I will ever, and claiming not to have clue what was going on. It doesn’t add up.
You would think that such question should have been asked, but No, inquiries have one purpose; to sweep it under the carpet.
he may plead ignorance but ultimately he is completely responsible
Yes I wonder how many idiot,s get top job,s but then I look at the goverment 😳😳
These people need to be asked WHY they didn't know and WHY they don't remember.
@@zhana4518 just class it as dementia and make them unfit for office
So much BS from this man it's untrue. He is so completely insincere it's disgusting .... he's a××se covering. Put him on trial and then in jail.
I know what would happen to me and all other working class people if we were to lie about our involvement in such a scandal and innocent people were jailed.
She asked him whether or not he knew about the bug at the time, he answered with "Yes" then a minute later says he wasn't informed of it at the time. I hope he's under oath and everything he says can be used against him at his trial.
That won't happen. They will be protected. Why do you think none of them have ever even been interviewed by the police?
Because they are Freemasons, and so are the police. The law doesn't apply to the Brotherhood.
Well done Ms Flora Page.
You show this guy for who he is.
I hate how smug and relaxed he looks. I hope he gets sent to prison for the rest of his life.
I was the boss and I didn't know anything. I was looking for something else in another office.
Lying toerag
he kept saying the right things like he was sorry but somehow I didn't believe him
The way this country is going they are going to have to build a lot more prisons. The number of so called people at the top that are nothing more than crooks and self servers is staggering. A big part of the problem is the so called bosses constantly get away with it, the British justice system is a laughing stock. The whole country needs reformed.
If he didn't know about it he's not much of a boss. Say anything to save there own skin what they did to them people is appalling.
@@paulrichards6894 What he actually meant was that he's sorry that he's been caught out.
@@mrmyorky5634 he is trying to be clever because quite a few have refused to apologize
Liar from beginning to end. He should be in jail first what he has done. Horrific human being. Shame on him and his soul.
How are these scumbags not in prison?! 😡
Because the UK is corrupt from top to bottom
Because senior MPs, stretching back to the Blair regime, have been in on it.
The government is also privy to the the corruption as they have not compensated fully. Bucnxh of my
Because they're wealthy, friends in high places including MPs. I will be surprised if any of them goes to prison, another whitewash.
What's also been revealed is that the board is populated by members sitting on multiple other boards and that they obviously couldn't or wouldn't give this whole affair the scrutiny it needed
He’s not sitting back in his chair because he’s being casual, it’s because he subconsciously wants to distance himself from the questions as far as possible. He’s definitely not telling the whole truth.
Indeed
its hard to know who made the decisions because every one I've seen says it was always someone else
Agree
Yep. "What? People were covering it up? Well I must say that I am shocked! Shocked I tell you!" - Totally Honest Person
It's always the same answers "I didn't know", "No one told me", "I was not in charge" bla bla bla.....rubbish!
I cannot believe that his staff took it upon themselves to deceive not only the courts, the accused and their own boss. He must have approved and encouraged their actions. At best he was negligent. I cannot see how some of these PO staff have not already been arrested and charged?
Through out these hearings its clear they all knew what was going on and knew innocent people were in prison or being charged and convicted but now its a game of cover up..... all are guilty should be sent to jail. Fujitsu should be sued till they go under
The lady who is questioning has my profound respect. What a surgically exact talent.
They must get extremely frustrated.
Wow. You can very easily tell he is lying. He MUST be sent to jail and the key thrown away if there is any justice.
Under oath and doesn't give 2 figs
Narcissists are incapable of caring what anybody else thinks about them.
The scumbag should be put in handcuffs even before the session ends. Where are the police? Get him arrested immediately! He is committing perjory under oath!
This guy is lying through his teeth! Arrogant, smug and insincere! Everyone involved with this cover up should be behind bars - EVERYONE!!
Lying trough his teeth to save his own skin when knowing full well that a innocent person went to prison.
It's enough to make an atheist hope there is a higher place.
Indeed...where the Rev Paula Vennells [yes, really] will be judged. Good luck to her with that....
@@francisfox9171 she nearly became bishop of London
If this man aswell as Vennells and some of the investigation team for the Post Office are not criminally charged and jailed after this enquiry then there can never be any justice for those falsely accused.
I was not aware....
I did not know...
Over and over again.
Blatant lying.
‘All guidance was followed’
When are Fujitsu going to be held to account?
One thing that has jumped out to me since the names of all the top people at the Post Office have emerged is that all of them seem to have jumped from one top job to another since leaving. This seems to have become the way our establishment works. It's not whether people are any good at their job, it's what other senior positions the have held.
Yes absolutely. Q1: How good are you at telling convincing lies? Q2: And how good are you at telling convincing lies? You have the position. (It's not a "job" is it?) .
Correct. Because recruiters have no ability to assess competence. It’s just assumed that if you were in a role before you must know what you’re doing.
The arrogance of this man is staggering.
Narcissists are incapable of caring what anybody else thinks about them.
Post office should be ashamed of the management they selected to do their dirty work. Put them behind bars .
The PO management don't do shame, it's not in their corporate mentality. Just look at this one, he doesn't care, does he ?
Just lock up all PO and Fujitsu management involved in this cover up.
Sadly, nothing whatsoever will happen, and as a consequence, distrust in the legal system will plummet further. (if that's possible.)
Such anger hearing this and lies …confirms the complicity of Vennells
Look at his posture he doesn't give a shit.
Judges i've met would have reminded him where he was and told him to stop slouching like a sloth.Plus we need Perry Mason to sort this lot out.
Because he knows nothing will happen
Narcissists are incapable of caring what anybody else thinks about them.
These people are protected by the establishment. Untouchable. That's why he doesn't give a damn. He acts like he is squatting an annoying bug.
It seems the Post Office senior executive only turned up to collect their pay cheques. They are now denying knowledge, by implication someone else was. What was he doing for his pay cheque? The buck stops at the senior executive, regardless of whether he read it or not. It was his job to know.
Money for nothing
"I don't know, I don't remember, I wasn't there". This is the best the Chief Exec of the PO can come up with. If this was truly the case, then what were they paying him for?
I agree. When it's time to justify high salaries for bosses the narrative is as they take so much responsibility but when things go wrong we see they didn't know anything going on if it's bad.
To lie and deceive
He is squirming rather a lot, isn't he. "I didn't know about it"; "No I didn't know about any of it", he says. So besides being totally clueless he's not much of a boss either, and certainly not worth his £500,000 salary. The arrogant, despicable individuals running POL UK deserve to see the inside of a jail cell for a good few years.
How do these inept and incompetent individuals get to be in these senior positions?! He was the managing director of this business, how can he say that he had no knowledge of what has to be the largest number of prosecutions in their history?
his arrogance and mendacity is extraordinary.
Absolutely right.
Why are these not going to jail the absolute gull of that man is appalling
He clearly thinks he is above everyone in the room.Get him in a prison cell.
The awful reality is that it may well take a private prosecution to make these vile contemptible liars face the justice they deserve. The problem is it appears the cover up and deceit is by almost as many people as those wrongly convicted. Fijitsu, The government, MPs, Prime ministers, the post office union as well as the various Post Office senior management teams. They all deserve to face the utmost judicial scrutiny for abhorrent behaviour
Problem is that if they were willing to cover it up , they are willing to lie now . They know the consequences if they admit this in view of the convictions . Most definitely they’d be subject to a criminal investigation. He has no choice but to deny and take his chances on whether it’s investigated by the police . If they do they will find the evidence or a digital trail to support a conclusion they’ve tampered with it to cover their tracks . Eitherway , they will have a very hard time . No one thinks they are innocent at all of a cover up . No one !!
No shame.
Arrogant.
Obnoxious.
A liar.
A poor memory.
No integrity or humility.
But HE did alright.
A great role model for our youth to aspire to.
You see a man who knows the prospect of criminal action is on the horizon ( sic ) and is putting up as much as a smokescreen as he can to protect him and his co-conspirators . Fortunately there is a wind of change blowing through this enquiry and the smokescreen is becoming very thin. It won’t be long before this utterly dishonest and immoral bunch of Lawyers and professional managers find themselves facing charges for perjury and perverting the course of justice.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@selby16 I think the public outrage is such that criminal proceedings are very likely, so far the police have not pressed any charges to see what the enquiry throws up but with the news that POL has found yet more documents and is trying to confuse the issue with the controlled release of huge amounts of data I see the need police action increasing my the second.
The sooner he and his cronies are behind bars the better.
@@philhart4849 yes !
We can live in hope. But I doubt it. The system will look after itself. Baroness Mone took millions £. At worst Angela Rayner owes about £3000. Which of these has had the most coverage.

Vennells to deliver masterclas in memory loss and perjury Wednesday May 22nd at 9.45 and for 3 glorious days.
The integrity of these, Rich full of greed to make billions in profit, without any investment, billions that were made on the backs of workers, destroying lives intentionally. WOW Integrity😢😢😢😢
True.
What bonuses and pay rises did these people get during this time?
They should be stripped of all payments along with any entitlements, and made to repay all.
You can see the contempt he has for this enquiry written all over his face.
