“Sorry Is Not Enough!” Paula Vennells Apologises To Subpostmasters At Post Office Inquiry
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2024
- A Conservative peer, who played a role in helping sub-postmasters convicted in the Post Office scandal get justice, has said “sorry is not enough” after the former boss made an emotional appearance at the Horizon IT inquiry.
Paula Vennells twice broke down in tears mid-evidence, as she was grilled about why she had told MPs that the Post Office had been successful in every case against subpostmasters.
Lord James Arbuthnot was name checked in Ms Vennells' apology. Joining Talk’s Ian Collins, Lord Arbuthnot says “tears don’t cut it” and adds that “proper accountability must follow” the inquiry, including prosecutions for those involved.

Shes only crying because she has been found out ....
I got up in the middle of the night to watch her. What a performance. She's obviously been carefully coached by a very expensive lawyer. I thought Jason Beer was terrific. As for Vennells' performance, no sale. As Mr. Beer pointed out, she could only remember what supported her innocence but couldn't recall anything that pointed to her being responsible for the atrocious treatment of those poor subpostmasters and subpostmistresses. A woman I saw interviewed who had been sent to prison at 19 for doing something that she didn't do and in fact would never have dreamt of doing, she has my sympathy. Not this self-satisfied, lives in a 2 million pound house, carries on with her plush life self-satisfied bureaucrat, nope.
Jail for this horrible woman !
She will get a golden hand out😢
Go directly to Jail, do not pass go, do not pick up 20 million bonus!
any such payouts should be repaid
The Horizon looks bleak for Vennells..what a horrible human being.
Well done to Lord Arbuthnot for doing "something" to support these innocent people!
Yeah, he's been campaigning on behalf of the sub-postmasters for years now without letting up. He's a good egg and in politics for the right reasons. I've got lots of respect for this man.
She was not a foot soldier.....she was paid a huge salary...absolutely disgraceful the pain .....not to mention what she has cost the Tax payers.
Crocodile tears , she knows its snowballed beyond the coverups and corruption. If there is justice she could be prosecuted and sent to jail.
They spend one hundred millions...prosecuting.....innocent people......that's the other crime...
Remove Fujitsu from every contract with the government!
Splatten8597 Unfortunately that is unlikely to happen, they already have other contacts with HM Government.
She wasn't crying when it was happening, she didn't cry when it all came out, but suddenly when faced with evidence face to face, she cries. What an absolute MONSTER. SHe is crying because she has been caught out. Crying for herself whilst pretending to say sorry to those affected and the dead.
Her apology is a slap in the face to the subpostmasters she had plenty of opportunities to do the right the thing she chose not to if I was on the subpostmasters I'd tell her to shove her apology up her arse
Vennells, Perkins, Van den Bogerd, Aujard, Davies all need to be criminally charged & prosecuted IMHO
None will be held accountable. The law (in its majesty...snigger) only applies to small powerless people.
Susan Creighton needs a new one as she was caught on tape saying "can we not just make this go away?" they're all full of it!
She had better watch her back.i think someone will have a go at her! She will now have to live with the fact that she's the most hated woman in Britain!!!!
💯
Until these 7 figure Directors start doing Prison Time for their lies and actual incompetence, little will change.
You should lose everything and be in jail like you did to those people.
Jailtime required for this one.
Sorry does not do it now - you need to pay for your crimes.
She is a symptom of giving unqualified people top jobs because of who they know not what they know.
Absolutely! and why the country is in such a state. Backsides in the wrong seats and people with good work ethics carrying them. House of Lords comes to mind. Needless expense to the taxpayer and much more.
Cry me a river, sorry for being a devious criminal....
They think saying sorry makes everything ok , it isn't , they should be prosecuted
She had ultimate responsibility jail time needed
And she has the cheek to preach to church goers.
Yes she is a disgrace to the church.rowan Williams has questions to answer!
She wasn't sorry when she signed off on the fate of all those lovely people. She deserves no mercy. Its a cliched response, she repeatedly blamed her minions and has taken no responsibility for her evil deeds.
She represents British management no wonder we are in such mess
What about the people who have taken their lives?
Someone needs to take responsibility and jail sentences need to be given.
Fraud had been committed!
@gaynor7947. My friend comes from a small village nr Liverpool and both post master/ mistress committed suicide after being accused of theft.
Corporate manslaughter charges should be laid against many complicit in this scandal.
She destroyed many peoples lives she belongs in jail.. she KNEW.
Crocodile tears, she's only sorry she was caught, jail for her
She is only sorry and crying because she got caught out, this person is just slippery
She was not Affected.. When she was getting her Money.
She only cried because they found out she knew
She's such a liar
Not sure I noticed any actual tears.
Her apology is totally unacceptable for years and years of suffering to the post masters and their families. So sad for them with lies and cover up.
Seems to be a thing of today now.
Stop it with more exposure of the ones at the top.
So saying sorry means you guilty and should be in jail
The Obligatory "Cry like a LIttle School Girl" coupled with an "Insincere Apology" and she believes everything is now okay ..Strip them of their assets to help pay for the Millions of pounds us tax payers are going to have to pay out in compensation
I can't get over how masterfully Sir Wyn reeled her in then skewered her with his last question. She couldn't answer, she looked to be on the verge of tears, again!
Apology over now lets talk Gaol time.
She needs to take the "Dr Kelly Walk".
It's disgraceful, before each post office representative answers the questions they look at the laptop screen in front of them and the Post Office Barrister who is listening in provides them with the answer they should give. It's like going into an exam at School with all the answers on a notepad. How on earth is this legal, it's to make sure the Post Office doesn't get sued.
Paula took 30 bits of silver and she is a female freemanon, send her to jail for life
I'm sure things can only get better now our Post Office is likely to be sold off to a Czech billionaire. What a wonderful state our country is in.
Guilty ! With a first class stamp ! Into the penitentiary, throw away the key, apologies not enough, self a basement not enough !
If she is traumatised and is criminally negligent, how does she think the innocent PO workers felt?
Strip her down of everything unless she discloses who was behind her.
Who was the puppet master who gave her that job in the 1st place? We want to know !
No talk, Jo mercy !
In 1998 Tony Blair was warned that there were concerns about the Horizon software.
There's that F**king name again.....his legacy has ruined this country....god forbid Labour get in on 4th July....
1994 John Major warned to.
Corporate world always protects the Corporation at all cost - so no one will ever be held accountable.
There's no way she sould be allowed to stay wealthier than any of the victims of this DISGRACEFUL scandal.
Crocodile tears.
A cleric should remember the 10 commandments “Thou shalt not lie”.
Unless you worked for the PO..then 'knock yourself out' as they say.
Lord James the people thankyou for being so understanding and decency for standing up for the innocent , persecuted people ! 👏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧
Sturgeon played the same turning on the tears routine at the Covid enquiry.
No she wasn’t “REDUCED to tears”… she “turned on” the tears!!!
WHAT these Post MASTERS went through was Deplorable!
They need Ongoing psychiatric treatment and Monetary Compensation!
There Treatment of law abiding citizens was Reprehensible!
She should be in jail. Sorry huh!🤷 cant bear to this wicked woman.
Is anybody in power reading any of these comments on you tube ....if so sit up and take note....it looks like the majority of this country thinks Vennels should get jail time....get it sorted !!!!
The only justice to be carried out now is to send Vennells to prison. She knew what she was doing and told lies about what she knew!!! Disgrace!!
What a disgrace. Never once asked the obvious question " why have nearly 1000 employees gone rogue "? Why are they stealing? 1000!!!! Gone bad?
We need to have our confidence restored in our institutions it is a National Disgrace ,it will have to go before a Judge in a Criminal Case to do that
This woman has no shame, honesty or credibility. Probably the biggest attributes required to get the job in the first place.
I’m surprised she made it to this, turn up and let the world see exactly what a piece of work it was.
Now she has, there must be prosecution and incarceration for her and the likes.
If the establishment cover this over, hopefully it would be a tipping point whereby country turns in it.
Those attributes that you speak, firstly shame is not something that assessed within the application process or during an interview stage. Where as honesty is via cross checking what is said in your application Vs the questions asked in your interview and lastly with the references that are supplied and finally with the DBS check, which all goes hand in hand with credibility. Now passing all these stages doesn't mean you foresee the future of something like the post office scandal taking place.
@@useruknown-_-007 😂😂
Who was on the panel that appointed this woman? They too must be made accountable!
This will go the same way as the blood scandal. Waste public money that will end up with nobody accountable which is so typical of those in high positions
She's not sorry. She's sorry she got caught!
Life in prison after being asset stripped !
She must be sent to prison for her criminàlity. Tears are worthless.
When you’re alone in a cell no one can hear you cry !
If she is fined I bet the monies off shore in a wealth management
Fund.
This is what you get when you appoint somebody because of what they are, rather than who they are.
And yes, tears the old standby for a women who has done wrong and is trying to avoid responsibilty for their actions.
What a decent man. We need more politicians like him
Jail for her her arrogance is breathtaking cryin cus she’s been found out
She broke the 11th commandment, and her a preacher too.
She wasn't sorry at the time....if she was it would have been a different story altogether.
Prison.
Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice is a custodial offence.
Ahhh , she managed to squeeze a little tear out.
Even if Vennells didn’t know ‘specifically’ what was wrong or how things had gone awry, she knew HORIZON was NOT impervious to outside entry nor ROBUST. They should have had supervisors take over village stations, undercover, to see what the actual situation was. No doubt they would have seen ‘theft’ by the supervisors.
I bet she's glad a general election has been announced today to take the heat off of her..
People have died because of you, saying sorry when you knew dammed well what was going on. People have lost everything, had their lives ruined and you’re only saying sorry because you’ve been found out in this horrendous scandal. If there is unequivocal evidence that people involved in this, they MUST be prosecuted and jailed.
She needs Shame Walking through London, 'Ring Ring' "Shame, Shame, Shame"
Human impact statements what was she doing the last ten years
Sorry is very far from an adequate response…people died, went to jail, lost their way of life…nothing less than a custodial sentence will suffice…..and maybe repayment of bonuses since clearly they were undeserved and not earned…
THEY. PUT. PPL. IN. JAIL. FOR. THIS. ?????? WTF. ???????
The woman has no shame at all. Crocodile tears.
Another liar with a poor memory.
crying because she got rumbled
It was obvious she was going to turn the tap on.
A few of the postmasters ended their lives early as a result of their false convictions. So because of this, I think Paula (and anyone else who was in on this) should be charged with manslaughter or negligent homicide
This woman's incompedence and indifference has ruined countless lives , Cry away
Those Alligator tears are ridiculous. The woman has no conscience and should pay dearly for what she’s done. So many families ruined. 🤬
The Post Office is a very important service it deserved capable caring honourable leader
Jail time
as a result of her incompetents
The way she tried to put martins death down to metal health this woman evil beyond imagination.
And this woman was a Priest?
Prison for her but and those who tried to cover this up,then lose the key!
Caught up with her own lies
Water gas and electricity MUST be returned to the people
Not corporations
Infected blood scandal is the same. Seeing a pattern yet?
I have no sympathy. They've been caught and don't want to go to prison so apologise in the hopes it will save them
What do the post office do now that other can do?
Yes P Vennells worked very hard and loves the post Office. But she did not do her job well, in fact she did it terribly ill. Working hard is not what is required, doing the right thing is. She wanted to keep the post Office out of a 10 year legal process that would ruin its name. Look what she did. It took more than 10 years and the name is forever associated with her scandal, and that is not even the worst part. The worst part is the harm imposed to all the subpostmasters.
While this going on, which is going to take years yet to get justice for those innocent post masters. In the meantime they need their compensation and money stolen from plus interest paid asap.
Isn't a minister of the church supposed to help the downtrodden ?
Instead, Vennells not only ignored them, but actively made victims of the sub-postmasters.
The public has no sympathy for PV as she had no sympathy toward prosecuting innocent sub postmasters.
this is all a waste of time they always get away with it paula wont go jail after this just go home and forget about it
would a more effective CEO have prevented this sorry saga in the first place?
Did she study at the same "cry on screen academy" that Matt Hancock attended?????
