Post Office Lawyer and Head of Legal Rodric Williams brands Nick Wallis' questions about the 'love' of the Fujitsu Horizon system as puerile but quickly backtracks under questioning from Jason Beer at the Post Office Inquiry.
The best data that was offered by the Post Office was the 'churn rate' - or the lack of subpostmasters voluntarily leaving the business rather than any concrete data the Post Office had about known issues and reports of bugs, errors and defects with the Horizon system.

He asks forf definitions of words that he has himself used... The man is in need of severe penalties . Jail would not be good enough for him
American here-- Thank God for you and your analysis! You are one of the bastions of individuals against the smirking, self-entitled state.
Thank you very much for your lovely comment and your support. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos ☺️
Brit here, interesting you are looking at UK politics I wonder if it's a similar reason that I look more at American politics.
For me it's because my anger is once removed, if I concentrated on domestic politics it would drive me insane. Much love
from the UK and good luck in November
Good commentary by you and of course Jason Beer who shines through yet again. What's that saying "never use a word if yuou don't know its meaning". Great lessons by Jason on the meaning of words, especially "puerile".
Thank you very much for your lovely comment and your support
deliberately misconstruing the query is almost puerile in itself
so 11 thousand branches of the post office nearly 1000 accused of steeling due to horizons did they not think when they where taking 10percent of all there branches to court there was a problem?
Good commentary.
If I heard that correctly, there are/were eleven thousand PO branches, yet POL sought 1000 prosecutions. That is surely an alarming proportion.
You're right! They prosecuted nearly 10% of their workforce. Plus the sub-postmasters who paid thousands of money they didn't owe will be even higher. Who knows how big that percentage is
It is a very alarming rate, and that should have been flagging that something was seriously wrong. Every year there were a few SPMRs who went rogue, usually for good reasons e.g the shop that supports their business/ branch is having financial problems. For example, things like long term road works creating a dramatic drop in foot fall to their lo action, but the proportion of the branches being affected by such things is minor, in comparison to the Horizon and even the previous Capture system. 😢
@@jeangenie5807Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I wonder if there were some sub PMs who (because of remote accessing by F) made up smaller shortfalls themselves without challenging it. Perhaps they thought it was either staff theft, or poor training, and easier to remedy without contacting the helpline. If the till is out by a small (2 or 3 figure sum), let's fix it ourselves, keep a closer watch on the new staff member, and not put our head over the parapet.
@@petertaysum8947 That is highly likely. On the Crown Office counter we were castigated if you showed a misbalance back then for more than 25p, whether under or over. Under 25p you were allowed to take it out or top it up out of your own pocket. Over that, and especially if you were a probationer like I was at the time, you often showed the unders or overs just incase when the main balance for the office found your error. My colleagues told me to 'cook it' and show a balance. Take the money out and keep it in a cash bag, because it would probably show up the next week as a short fall. Being a very honest person, I felt I couldn't do that. I changed my mind and fell in with 'custom and practice' when I got a shirty letter from the Head Office threatening me with dismissal if I showed too many discrepancies ( no matter how small! ) in my weekly balances. So much for trying to stay honest and not wanting to cook the books! Obviously large discrepancies usually pointed to miscounted stock or cash etc., but to be dismissed for 30p or 50p seemed grossly unfair and engendered dishonesty for larger amounts, for some colleagues.
I know of a subpostmaster who did that.
A scheming, conniving and dangerous individual.
Gaslighting to denigrate subpostmasters
Rodric's never going to ask for a definition again :-}.
He says about it being wrong for a sub postmaster to cover up branch issues etc - while POL were doing literally that but on a larger scale, ie covering up that Horizon had bugs and defects that caused illusory losses. So POL are hoisted by the petard of their own Head of Legal..
Is this lawyer ONE of the Crooked Lawyers that could end up in PRISON after Lying under Oath at the Enquiry ? I enjoy watching these Lawyers and Senior Managers squirm under questioning !!
...is he in a contest to find the most irritating witness....?
10:27 Ironic that he's talking about User Acceptance, when the system he's referring to had already been used in production for more than a decade. The whole point of User Acceptance Testing is that it's done and signed-off _before_ a product goes live.
When he dies Rod's tombstone will read 'Rod Williams, A Lawyer, He Lies Still'!
Proof that lawyers have 0 knowledge of the common market. Great narration over this, and it does show unfortunately incompetence can be used as this guys defence.
What a sizeable streak of micturant. (Look that one up, lawyer boy.)
He's hoping for a one-way ticket back to New Zealand... but there's only one place he should be heading... 🤔
We don't want this a$hole back. Keep him
Why do I keep thinking of Baldrick from Blackadder? Probably better not answered.
Rodric is a Bully, he has been working for the PO for 12 years (doing what) with one promotion within that time. I really don’t think he will be working for them (PO) for much longer after this shit show.
He really needs to leave the UK to further his career. Off you jolly well pop 🚀
Spin Doctor lawyer claims none of his gaslighting rebuttles are put downs
surely they can get the call data from fujitsu? to then see how many calls per day etc there were?
Such is the sheer cultural arrogance of people at POL , to dismiss questions as puerile, when in this case ...this particular guy doesn't even know what is meant by "strategy" when he used that word in his witness statement but then had to ask Mr.Beer KC for a definition. What a babbling clown.
This guy.. prison sentence = ticket office at euston station for next 20 years, shifts 6am or 6pm start
. He laughs to pretend what he did was insignificant The man is a monster His remembering the numbers of million of transactions exactly but cannot remember other more important data and conversations . The man should be jailed Certainly should not be employed still by POlts
It’s fatuous playing this numbers game.
If 99.9% of postmasters have a ‘good’ experience with horizon but the other 0.1% are falsely imprisoned and/or destroyed then the system is defective - not fit for purpose.
If 99.9% of postmasters have a ‘good’ experience with the Post Office but the other 0.1% are falsely imprisoned and/or destroyed by it then it, the post office, is defective - not fit for purpose.
The awful destruction wreaked by post office personnel (remember it’s PO/fushitsu personnel that caused the damage not a computer system) far outweighs the limited (and fast dwindling) service they provide.
Pathetically the PO weren’t even capable of playing the numbers game.
it isn't its 10 percent.
@@eddjordan2399 yessir. I was trying to emphasise the absurdity of their numbers game. 👍
Trouble is this guy isn't very intelligent
Williams thinks he is cleverer than any one else and sis sense of superiority makes him scorn all the others trying to get to the bottom of the problems with Horizen . :Like Vile Vennels he has never heard of the Principle of Occams Razor . The fact that suddenly SPMs were in their hundreds stealing could only be really explained by Horizen failing . The man is so arrogant and ckearly trained by his lawyers to lie and deviate from the questions and avoid answering truthfully
It was puerile... LOVE! Even Beer had to change that to LIKE... Rodric beat Beer hollow on both Thursday and Friday.
Whose side are you on
@@martygrimsted4290 On the side of what is right and never on the side of 'Group Think' fools...
I've been on the side of the SPMRs since 2008. Every twist and turn of it.
Thumbed down because you are in the sway of 'Group Think'... which is of course what got us here with the likes of Jarnail.
Take the blinkers off and look anew.
Is that you, Paula V. ?
😂😂😂😂@@AlwaysBastos
@MYCROFTonX is that you Rod?
