Meanwhile the Post Office had taken innocent sub-postmasters to court, saying they must have stolen money when their accounts failed to add up - a miscarriage of justice that the tapes also reference.

It wasnt miscarraige of justice, it was willingly conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
-
Paula Vennals needs to be charged with conspiracy, perjury, and perverting the course of justice. Her sentence should be as long as all those who have served jail time consecutively.
-
They destroyed people's lives because they did not want to admit fault. This was an evil act!
-
This is as clean a case of perverting the course of justice as there is. She should be stripped of her titles and sent to prison. No if's - no buts.
-
SEND THE POLICE! She needs to be ARRESTED NOW!
-
If Vennals et al don't go to prison then it will be another serious miscarriage of justice
-
If the Post Office would have defrauded wealthy investors, many would have faced charges and would have been prosecuted about a decade ago. The fact they ruined the lives of 'average,' hard working folk is a shocking reflection of UK politics and the justice system.
-
She should be in PRISON NOW to get the ball rolling. The first of MANY.
-
ARRESTS, NOW!
-
Vennels is an ordained Anglican priest and was (until 2021) a member of the Church of England's Ethical Investment Advisory Group. So much for "values"
-
That Mr Bates v the Post Office show is one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. A brilliant piece of work by all involved.
-
“…the Post Office is committed to finding the truth”, so they can bury it deeper.
-
Criminal convictions now
-
Stop the public enquiry now. Criminal charges must be brought.
-
I hope no one is surpirsed to find out that sociopathy is a prerequisite to being a CEO of a large corporation.

My God! Susan Crichton is a piece of work! She wanted to shut down all avenues for MPs to attempt to inquire into this scandal and make them 'go away'. This was whilst knowing that perfectly innocent people were being hounded, bankrupted, and imprisoned. She, Vennells, and the CEOs of both POL and Fujitsu were perfectly content with this as long as 'the brand' (and their own corruption) were treated as sacrosanct. Where are the Met Police in this? They've interviewed two people in four years! Where are the government? Sitting on their hands, playing for time, and doing nothing. Where are the mainstream media? Virtually silent, with the honourable exception of Channel 4. A firm called DPS Computing, which provided invaluable updates of the inquiry and the latest details of the scandal has been shamefully shut down by Google on wilfully manufactured 'evidence' with no right of appeal for another 90 days. Its revenue stream has been completely severed by Google, in direct contravention of its contract. Sinister actors are behind all this and they need to be identified, shamed, and roundly defeated. The implications of all this are HUGE for us all. Wake up! This is truly frightening stuff.

I don't understand, who was covertly changing the subpostmasters accounts, and why? Is the allegation that there were rogue Fujistu employees who were just randomly screwing with the figures? If so, why on earth would Post Office leadership not immediately call in the police instead of commencing a cover up?
-
So should Fujitsu not be charged with the crime of multiple cases of false accounting - on other people's accounts?
-
If you make a mistake in your job you're disciplined, possibly fired, possibly lose wages. If you're in the CEO class and you cost people their livelihoods, they end up in jail, in some cases their lives; you get a big fat paycheck, on the honours list and moved on to the next highly paid job. The problems in this country are that hard working people are continually screwed over by those in power.

I just can't believe listening to Susan Crichton asking if there was a way to make the MPs go away. How heartless can you be, you are aware that there may be people in jail who shouldn't be there and you are asking how to shut the people up who are complaining about it. It beggars belief.
