Why is she crying? She's not the one who went to jail or lost everything?
Crying for herself, because she's been caught out 😂. Karma time and sweet justice 👏 🎉 😂.
Pure guilt.
But I think it's reality biting her soul and realising there is not much of it left, if there was any at all.
@@sandradenise2283 Venal (sic) should be jailed for her crimes but i understand they have ALL been assured if they give evidence they will not be prosecuted plus they have all been coached on how to present themselves positively at the Inquiry.
Crocodile tears, she is a liar
Give it time. Perverting the course of justice and lying to a parliamentary select committee while under oath have a habit of sending people to prison.
She is paid almost £15,000 a week. She does NOT EARN that. It is a disgrace to pay someone a salary so huge. Her bonus is obscene also she needs to pay it back and should face a trial. This odious woman has caused people to commit suicide and many others went bankrupt.
And you has been schooled by top lawyers into how to avoid incriminating answers. Every long pause is because she doesn’t like where the question is leading. She then often comes out with a statement that she “ did her very best” or something, instead of answering the question.
At least she is getting some of the questioning those poor victims suffered, albeit without personal financial consequences…so far.
Every potential incriminating meeting she so happens not to have taken notes and cannot remember. Selective amnesia whilst other things at the same time she remembers in great detail. Only liars need pause to think. A liar, a Hippocratic as a priest religious preacher, selfish, self centred. The represents the very worst of upper corporate management culture let alone being a thoroughly obnoxious, devious snake of a human being.
If there is any common decency left in you, tell the truth, repent, ask your god for forgiveness, then your soul has some small chance of being saved.
One wicked woman. The very first moment she realised there were problems with the system she should have gone to the minister and tendered her resignation. The coverup and running with a faulty system was wrong. She should be nowhere near a church or any business.
PV's "fake" crocodile tears are a drop in the ocean compared to the real tears that innocent postmasters suffered at her draconian hand.
The only person she's crying for, is herself! Her reputation trashed by her own hubris and ego!! And she's had 10 years to practice her responses!
She is incompetent as a CEO.
Remember this is her at her most humble, her demeanor was probably very different when she was CEO on a huge salary looking down on the staff.
She should be striped of all assets and the money given to her victims. Her remaining day spent behind bars.
Postmasters have been led into temptation???, Paula is a disgrace to Christuanity.
Rees-Mogg, May, Widdecombe, Leadsom, Vennells, Paul Flowers, Peter Hitchens, all very loud and proud Christians and nasty, self serving bottom feeders.
To think welby wanted her for Bishop of london! Two people with no judgement !
She's a regular visitor to the confessional box everytime they question her......
She's The Vicar Of Fibley
Despite all this I still don't think 'she thinks' she was NOT wrong !! We need to give her a penal sentence and then we can think 'we were NOT' wrong after she has served it.
If it is not a coverup which should result in a jail sentence then it is utter incompetence. These people were richly rewarded for not doing their job. They should be massively fined, lose any pensions and that money should go to the people who suffered under them.
The only justice is this woman going to prison.
What worries me is not that she might be lying - but that she might be telling the truth. Which would mean that the largest mis-carriage of justice in the British legal system was a result of utterly incompetent management who were so clueless that they were unaware of what was going on.
I think that this is perfectly possible
I actually agree wholeheartedly,this screams of incompetence
I can’t recall a charge of criminal incompetence being valid in law, more’s the pity. Another jobsworth, out of her depth, over promoted beyond her ability, happy to pocket the cash and accept the plaudits, equally happy to throw others under the bus, deflect and dissemble. It’s maddening watching this sorry tale unfold fearing that this woman will be able to weasel her way out on the grounds of being incompetent.
Let’s see
No one is that thick. She knew.
Not very likely though is it?
He lawyers briefed her to show tears an dto grab a tissue at certain points. It causes some weak religious people to have sympathy for her. All planned.
Crying?? Of shame? Nah, she's just sorry for herself.
She's a liar
If she had been doing her very well paid job, she would have stood up and admitted their system had faults- then immediately stopped pursuing the subpostmasters. She got the salary, but she didn't do the job.
Part of the problem might be (might!) be that she had too many jobs, for example a suite of prestigious Directorships spanning the likes of well known companies, health trusts, charities etc. That's one consequence of being identified as one of "the great and good". As well as being an ordained Minister allegedly fast tracked for Bishop (allegedly London). Busy life for anybody to cope with.
She’s an anologue woman in a digital world. Clearly, believed IT is infallible. Doesn’t seem to realise it’s designed and programmed by people. Having a No tech knowledge MD is a dangerous choice.
Really ? She totally believed it was infallible? She knew what she was doing. No way she didn't know about the bugs. Negligent and incompetent at best. Criminal more likely
Appears to have no concept that software systems are fallible. And can be interrogated from outside by unauthorised bodies. Seems to be very much out of her depth. Where were her software experts?
@@markfoth1226 … then she realised it was and tried to cover it up
Laws in the UK need to be brought in to protect the public against these criminals and fraudsters acting in the UK corporate world! Accountability laws are what is needed to make the wrongdoers do the right thing in the future!

Bet she can't wait until tomorrow as the core participants lawyers tend to take the gloves off somewhat! I echo the comments below, either we're not hearing the whole truth or the level of incompetence displayed by the majority of senior people in post during this travesty was unforgiveable. The only two people who've shown any apparently genuine humility and contrition have been Lesley Sewell and Alisdair Cameron.
Jail , jail , jail , jail . Now , now , now , now .
Crocodile tears
Poor, poor, Paula!
Those horrid sub-postmasters whinging, whining, jailing and bare-facedly _killing_ themselves just to make poor, Paula embarrassed and have to answer distressing questions.
This is EXACTLY what Jesus had to go through.
If she should compare her problems in any way to Jesus, she'd be committing the appalling MOST DEADLY SIN OF PRIDE. Anyway I think she's committing it by making out she didn't do anything much wrong. Oh dear me Paula you will be in for i ton your God's Judgement Day. Wonder what her excuse will be then?
i cant work out what this lot did all day ! post offices run themselves and at the end of each week they transfer the money over, why does it take an army of staff, lawyers and bosses to sit behind a desk watching them ?
GUILTY
How the mighty have fallen
lying goat I say.........
Goat? Strange choice. Are you a farmer?
God of all time (liar) 😂
What have the poor goats done ?
She will walk away Free the system is on her side a lessor person would get JAIL
CRYING because the posibilty of prison time is fast becoming a realization
Aah, she takes "full responsibility" so I guess she doesn't have to go to prison. Well done, rich people.
What a load of crocodile tears . Her year of rehearsal for this inquiry seems to be working . Clearly a true sociopath.
Sick human being
Sick being human.
I wonder if she had lessons from Amber Heard? She can't even cry or say sorry convincingly, not sure why she's crying anyway, she didn't lose her savings, her freedom or have to bear the brunt of being accused of stealing. She and her colleagues have ruined so many lives, I don't think repeatedly saying I don't recall that, that's not my area, I didn't hear/see/read that etc. I don't imagine she will ever be held to account. A national disgrace.
so should we feel sorry for a woman who walked away from this appalling conspiracy to hold innocent folk responsible for missing money she & the PO management knew wasn't their fault for years? With some £6million in the bank, and who reality shows couldn't careless that people had committed suicide, others with their lives & families lives destroyed as a result? All she has done so far is to return an honour, the granting of which was totally farcical in the first place. Clearly criminal charges need to be faced by senior PO management, and should the current review seek to avoid doing so, there would need to be yet another investigation into those responsible for a totally unacceptable decision.
She should be prosecuted end of !
i think she grabbed for that tissue so that no one could see there was not a tear in sight ! who cries one single tear thats wiped away in one second ?
Matt Hancock school of crying
She turned down the Amber Heard school on account of that one didn’t help you to produce actual tears.
Lol
She is crying for her own comeuppance, the realisation her integrity is shot for good, she will forever be despised and will represent the very worst of when corporate control goes wrong, the very worst of management, of corporate greed and no doubt to be talked about by business students for decades to come.
Performative tears
These few tears will never replace the years of torture she made the postmaster’s and postmistresses suffer and completely destroying there life’s there was loads of times she could have nipped it in the bud but heartlessly forged ahead with threats.👹
As I am no specialist in the legal procedure, why is it the POL are not suing the SPM's and those involved with the production of Mr Bates v The Post Office for Defamation?
She meansShe knew what the PO was hiding for YEARS! This liar wants to cop out on everything.
And blame her underlings. Such a disgusting, cold woman who cared Nothing about those Postmasters who lost it all, including four lives through suicide, she needs to have a long jail sentence. Obviously she was CEO who pretended to be so dumb that she wants to play the blame game. She remembers nothing.
What a LIAR
Is often said that with some people you can tell when they’re lying because their lips are moving.
This inquiry becomes meaningless unless some form of criminal charges are brought fourth to the Justice system.
She tells a good story , But she is the only one who believes it .
She has prepared for this enquire over the last few years yet still not credible. She was either a terrible boss or is lying. Take your pick?
We had spent the past three years doing our best to stifle the efforts of second sight
Lesson learnt as an instance, would have been to refund Mr Castleton the £300,000 you stole from him. The PO still have not learnt ANYTHING🥶🇦🇺
Text book psyco, crocodile tears for herself.
She shouldn't be crying, a least she knows why she is going jail
In 10 years, no one will care.
But we SHOULD care, because another scandal is no doubt brewing. E.g. NHS scandal!
It will be a historic scandal like so many others Emron, Madoff, infected blood, Windrush and many more. Always the same psychology of selfish psychopaths behind them
Oh they will, those affected and their families never can, let alone the family of the poor soul who took his own life who she conveniently forgets to mention as if it didn’t happen. What an example of a Christian in practice, thinking such a large number, after careful vetting to appoint them, could be guilty of ongoing serious theft, without even questioning how there was a sudden increase in the numbers of supposed crooks. It beggars belief, she had a blind spot, wanted to believe Horizon was robust, when all the evidence was to the contrary and covered up not just by Fujitsu but by her too to keep the good name of the Post Office…which it will probably never have again now…and of course keep her and her buddies very substantial bonuses.
She had motive to cover it up. Where there’s motive there’s the criminal!
Unfortunately you are right , the public has a short memmory , and Paula's social group already support her ! The working class will be shafted once again !
Yes, therein lies the human conundrum and why situations like Horizon and elitist culture continues. Without fear of consequences or retribution.
Also the reason disgraced politicians are rinsed clean after a few years and re-enter politics.
Ms Vennells is very nervous. She answers in riddles. And crying is supposed to feel sorry for her
Ridiculous lies. She thinks the lawyer is not as brilliant as she is. A very bad memory which makes no sense.
'Cry me a river'...
Sorry is no good for the 4 sub postmasters who committed suicide
Crocodile tears
