Seema's story is absolutely shocking, Why hasn't any Post Office directors been brought to the courts by putting these people through this miscarriage of justice?
It’s not shocking if you cared years ago when it started
@@janed7774 today is the first day that I've heard about this
Paula Vennels oversaw it all. She is now retired on a fat PO pension.
@@brianlopez8855 Vennells wasn't in charge when the prosecutions started, but she was in charge when they decided to cover it all up
@@face-in-the-crowd you're kidding? This hasn't been a secret.... although I bet the PO wish it was.
o - m - f - g.
WTF has happened to this country ?!?
It's gone to shit. People have become too greedy and care about themselves (directors)
The people in charge of the Post Office should be the ones in prison. Totally shocking!
The cuddly image of the P.O. is far from the truth too. They employ some very nasty people to do their dirty work.
You mean Paula Vennels. SHE is responsible, retired on a FAT PO Pension.
People in charge of the Post Office should now be taken to court and charged and sent to prison. Thus is a shocking story 🙏.
Paula Vennels is responsible for all this. Now retired on a fat PO pension.
I know two of them who are thieves and admitted they stole from the post office and got compensation and now probably looking for more compensation.
Total scandal , these people where treated like dirt , deserve all the compensation coming to them
This poor lady was imprisoned and she was not guilty and Katie Price drink, drug drives, no insurance, five times and she gets off!!!!! What a sham our 'justice' system is.
Our justice system is on it's head , there was a woman in our local paper who threw boiling hot water with sugar in it over her neighbour and got a suspended sentence because she 'has kids' yet this woman got imprisoned for a mistake her employer made, totally mad
This is not just an indictment of the postal service and the politicians that oversee them but also the judges, prosecutors and juries that found these innocent people guilty
Respect to Seema , hope she gets millions more!
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty????
I feel really sorry for those caught up in this and wish them all the best in the future.
Take them to the cleaners.
They were forced to admit guilt. "If you admit it, we'll drop the theft charge and you'll avoid prison." Most were found guilty of fraud or false accounting instead. "Oh, and sign this non-disclosure which says you can never mention that Horizon was to blame"
My heart goes out to Seema and all the individuals and families involved, thanks to Nick Wallis for carrying the torch to shine a light on this sickening miscarriage of justice, and finally, thanks to Mark Dolan and GB news for caring enough to carry this story.
I was a sub postmaster up to 2003. I consider myself very lucky that I did not have any discrepancies.Paula Vennells has gone to ground .She should be in court now.
that poor woman and her family, top staff at the PO need to pay and serve time for this, disgraceful.
This runs a lot deeper then people think. The names that aren’t being named are the ones. Ed davey .Vince cable. Were in charge of the post office when the coalition government were in charge. Too many people
Absolutely disgusting that they knew the truth and put these innocent individuals through hell and death! I hope they face their Day in court!
Banks do the same thing, false accounting to take properties with false accounting and courts assist banks!
Should be jailing those in charge of this travesty.
Paula Vennels is guilty of this SHIT and MUST be punished.
When is the Judiciary, the Post Office Executive and their lawyers going to be held accountable and punished?
You can see her lifting her head up to hold the tears back. Seema is truly blessed to have had the support of her husband stand by her for all this time. It should be a punishable crime with threat of 100,000 lawsuit from staff who withhold evidence from any court proceedings, the people who withheld the findings of the original post office hired investigators should all be prosecuted. This suing the company/employer only does nothing to deter humans from acting in malice they do it because even if they are caught they will not suffer, the company does, both should be liable.
Disgusting what happened to this wonderful woman and all the other victims of the Post Office Gestapo. One of the best interviews I've seen on GB News since the launch. Seema has such dignity after all she's been through. Well done Mark.
Paula Vennels is the name you are looking for. Now retired on a FAT pension.
I hope all the victims of this will get a massive payout for having their lives ruined.
Post office should be charged for perverting the course of justice, but as usual, no charge for white collar crimes
This happened to a postmaster near me it ruined his life. Its awful even worse for the people and their families that died before the truth came out.
The solicitors got more than the poor people... typical
The post office are like the bbc and British rail ... they still dish out crap and we are paying for it
GBN, you are making me fall in love with Britain all over again.
Wow, 500 lives turned upside down due to the incompetence of the Post Office.
£58 million pounds but the victim’s had on £12 to share between them after the grubby lawyers took their share 🤬
From the CEO through the whole management no one has been charged or gone to jail yet they made false statements to the police and courts.
Paula Vennels is the person responsible. She must be Punished.
Seema is a heroine, pure an simple. She is also an inspiration. To all who are wronged, and who have to hold their heads up in the face of having great wrongs done to them.
Yet the individual who presided over this outrage has waltzed off with a golden pension. Disgraceful non accountability at the heart of the 'establishment'.
Nick Wallis is a good man and I'm glad Seema Misra has been completely exonerated of the scurrilous accusations.
you mean Paula Vennels, ex Head of the PO. She MUST be punished.
This poor lady x
outrageous...un-believeable...so sorry people have to go through things like this.
This is a Disgrace somebody or some group in the Government at the time and the Post office has to be dealt with and held responsable for this miscarriage of justice
Paula Vennels ex head of the PO.
Many killed themselves - why did you not mention this MOST important point?
- and £58 million as compensation is a drop in the ocean for what these people suffered.
Absolutely disgusted all those involved should be jailed total bastards
What happened to British decency and fair play?
I agree, what happened to innocent until proven guilty?. There was no evidence that Seema did anything wrong.
And the CEO at the time now get s cushy number at BT! You couldn't make it up. And people at BT are in no doubt what the future is with this vulture sat at the top now.
I can see that Nick Wallis is not just a stella journalist but a stella person. What a kind and sincere guy - a true traditional journalist who is noble, true, honest and down-to-earth.
This is just horrendous. This poor lady has been completely wronged by the post office and by the judicial system. The judge, jury, post office, why have they all failed so badly here? Are they ashamed?
It is incredible that she as held herself together so well and can speak about the scandal with such dignity.
This was Blair's 'Consigna' post office, what happened to HM GPO? Sack all parliament and vote Reclaim or Reform, things must change.
Don't put your compensation money into a Post Office account, the Horizon system will lose it!
I don't watch tv, so hadn't seen the story. I just watched the live. Unbelievable, the post office CEO so damn arrogant. Terrible and shocking that these poor people went through this. Those responsible should face a trial and prison if found guilty.
Wow what a story, poor woman!!!
Paula Vennells CBE was
in charge of the Post Office (2012-2019) during the prosecution period of this scandal. As she was fully aware of failings with the software, so she should be stripped of her CBE ( for service to the Post Office and charity) !!
Vennells should also face a prison sentence for the lives she destroyed.
These were exactly my thoughts. Senior bosses should be sent to prison for their disgusting crimes.
She should admit her criminal acts and be punished severely.
Ironically, they stopped prosecutions in 2013, when their lawyer told them they may be guilty of crimes themselves. In September 2013 they had a meeting about it, and took the decision to stop any further prosecutions, but also to cover the whole thing up. It was all about keeping things quiet so that the Royal Mail could still be sold off (£3.5 Billion for the government and huge bonuses for everyone at the Post Office).
So a few little people suffered. So what? The Reverend Paula has kept her honours and her money, so it isn't all bad, is it?
Vennels should be punished. She would be lucky if a court was involved.
She has to hide hopefully
The BBC did a really good podcast series covering this. A riveting but awful listen. Who can we trust these days?
BBC prffft I guess only the non white people
jail vennells and strip the cbe
Seema god bless you hope ur ok n hope u get proper justice
Shocking scandal !! These people have gone through hell !!
I felt sick watching ITV drama. The BBC Panorama expose was even worse. Some of these people at the top of management were evil and wicked. The rage I feel. Paula Vennells was an Anglican Priest!
IMO the real shame of this situation is that the Victims of The Post Office are now having to fight for individual compensation claims, while the FAT CATS that held up justice are probably retired with index linked pensions sitting on a beach somewhere. The victims should all receive an interim amount of say 1M pounds, and then they can launch a fair fight from these swine that have ruined their lives. That would be the Right thing to do, but of course, we know that won't happen, how could it, when dealing with corrupt government.
Paula Vennels retired head of the PO is responsible for this shit.
She must be punished.
My father lost his business, his house and almost his marriage. Vennells got millions and a CBE
The judge has also failed here. How on earth was this innoccent lady giving birth with a tag on?
This poor lady has a point. The jury didnt understand the case. This is most often the case...
Nfi
I agree - they clearly didn't understand it and were easily led.
@@joebroughton2334The jury and The Judges are "MISLED" by the legal teams and in civil cases the judgments are decided between the legal teams before the final decision.
Compensation should factor in money wrongly claimed by the PO and interest applicable on that amount, jail time, loss of a business, loss of income, public humiliation, legal costs, damage to health, stress, loss of joy of life, damage to personal relationships. The pay out to claimants should be enormous. The people in charge of the PO that allowed this to happen without appropriate scrutiny should be prosecuted.
That's disgraceful sending a pregnant woman to prison whatever was the judge thinking?
Like all banks do he will be well rewarded. The Inquiry needs to address the Judiciary's role in this matter.
The Post Office needs to be renationalised.
This is what happens when services get privatised. There is little real accountability and company bosses and boards can get away with almost anything. Like they have here. Only anything in this case is death and destruction of so many people's lives.
That poor girl.
One of so so many.
What an inspirational lady - I thank her for sharing her story.
Horrific that she and her family have been put through this. Her ten year old lost his mum for four months. Just heartbreaking.
They all need Justice. They all need accountability.
This is shocking
Send the judge to jail too. What a disgrace!!
Still 2 years on and still waiting. Now a TV program will help there case.
I have never felt so ashamed of the nation Britain until now.
The court cases were funded how? Who authorised these villains? Who is going to pay for all this? Who is going to compensate their chosen victims? Not the measly amounts they have already doled out,proper money,proper reparation.When do the trials start of the psychopaths behind this atrocious scandal?
Hell is other people with power
I'm not buying anymore stamps
2024 justice is coming
Hats off to NICK WILLIS .. Thx for helping & covering this story
The programme was a difficult and painful to watch, the sheer injustice that has been allowed to happen. How Seema and her fellow sub postmasters have got through this is beyond me and I am full of respect for Seem and the others how they have conducted themselves. It is unbelievable that no one within the Post Office or Fujitsu has been made to face justice over this 😡
Thank goodness there are a few good journalists like Nick Wallis out there. The guy is a hero.
Paula Vennells should be in prison for this.
The poor woman gained a lot of weight due to her trauma.
She’s just lovely
Bradshaw has catagorically stated that he never, ever said that they were the only one, so someone somewhere, was lying through their ass.
Very interesting story - I will check out the book. I hope justice is served.
You Just could not make this up could you ! But the Corrupt Post Office Did makes you wonder what else they make Up😮
Never really watched Mark before but he seems like a really good interviewer
I hope Seema gets 1 million pounds compassion and a personal apologue from the judge.
What good is an apology? All those Judges should resign!
But this all happened under Blair and New Labour.
First thing Blair did was to change the English legal System and Court procedure Rules when he became PM.
Money will give them what they Deserve like their Dignity and those years lost.
Meant money will NOT
IT MAKES ME FUCKING SICK ,THIS WOMAN SHOULD GET MILLIONS IN COMPENSATION.
THOSE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD BE IN JAIL ,
IM SICK OF THIS COUNTRY PAYING TOP BOSSES MILLIONS, WHO ARE FUCKING USELESS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE .
This is outrageous and criminal. But what I don't understand is why this system worked in some cases and failed in others. I hope these poor people get adequate compensation.
I remember this my local post mistress at the time was accused, why has this taken so long to be revealed, what were the police doing, what action is going to take place now towards those that knew there was a software problem.
Police always helps the Banks during repossessions and no different here as the Post Office is also a bank! They are all members of the same club for wealth by stealth.
When mobile phones started fujitsu fell by way side really quick cos there system did not work
Too little too late .. come on gb news you really are behind the times
I love his hair. It's 😍.
She Doesn't look Distraught. How about Julian Assange.
The anchor needs to shampoo his hair. He looks like he just got out of bed with a hangover ffs! 💩
I hope the _systemic racism_ against BAME folks was not a factor back in 2010 accusations, charging, prosecuting and court sentencing.
That lady should be paid a lot more due to her jail sentence and life ruined.
Pathetic attempt at using the r@ce card. Get a grip and lose the huge chip on your shoulder.
And then you had to spoil it all by news by asking stupid questions like are fat because of it
