    I am disgusted by George Thomson's evidence to the committee here. He should be thoroughly ashamed of himself. Sod the damage to the Post Office brand - the truth of what was happening to these poor subpostmasters is what is important here.

    What a smug, evil pair of women they are!
    Knowing what we know now that by the time they were giving this evidence they knew there were isdyrd with the system and the sub postmasters were innocent makes me sick watching them.
    They need to be held legally accountable. People died for crying out loud 😡

      two of the worst sitting behind van bogan n vennell are the scummy po lawyers, mark davies n chris aujard. the only really decent legal advice came from susan creighton, whom both vennells n alice wahatsit schemed to get rid of.

    Paula Vennells : “I could not as Chief Executive of the Post Office put this scheme (Horizon) in place and not do it properly”. Well, you failed miserably love and tried to cover up your failures by breaking the law and destroying innocent people's lives. Your assets should be seized as proceeds of crime and you should face a hefty prison sentence. If this had happened in the USA you'd already be in jail pending trial.

      Exactly, the UK is awful at prosecuting white collar crime. CEO's who fail big time like Paula Vennells almost never get prison sentences and get to keep their gold plated pensions....

    Whenever Vennells gets asked a question, her response "can I start by saying, because it's important that [I need to puke out some corporate lies on how good we are]. I think she even starts by saying thanks "for letting the PO come to the meeting" !!! she is lost in her own little mind.
