But perhaps the most damning thing to come out of today - the accusation from the inquiry's chair that even now the Post Office seems to be attempting to obstruct the entire process.

Alan Bates remains so calm and polite after 23 years of hassle. A brilliant example of how to deal with cheats and liars. Hopefully he will be successful.
-
Why not put Alan Bates in charge of the Post Office? He surely has p,entry of experience, if only there were more like him. A true Hero for ordinary people.
-
How incompetent do you have to be to leave a paper trail about not leaving a paper trail?
-
Post office executives need to go to jail
-
A total F ing disgrace. The responsible people including Vennels are the ones that should be serving decades in prison. I have no respect for the justice system if we don’t see justice for these postmasters. Absolutely horrific.
-
They really shat the bed when they decided to prosecute such a well educated, confident, articulate, determined and energetic human as Alan Bates, give him a massive payout and either put him in the post office or in the Lords where he can specialise in miscarriages of justice
-
Don't forget Fujitsu have been as guilty as the PO during the whole of this conspiracy.
-
Until Paula Vennells is sent to jail, justice will not be done.
-
I don't understand why the police haven't kicked the doors down and taken the documents they need. Then arrested the Post Office people that did this. People in the Post Office need to spend a time behind bars for this. If I as an individual did this I'd go to prison, I couldn't complain. Its undermining the police and the justice system if they don't go to prison.
-
Suspend the bosses pay until the documents are released.
-
Post Office obfuscation. Should be jailed.
-
Alan Bates is absolutely formidable! Such an incredible public speaker, so honest and genuine!
-
Alan Bates is an absolute hero Davey is a Sir when it should be Sir Alan Bates for over 20 years of heroic determination
-
We need to see Post Office executives and their lying lawyers and investigators serving jail time for this and heavy compensation for their victims and the families of lost victims.
-
The Post Office needs to be put into administration. To get to the root of it.
-
Ed Davey has a Knighthood (as did Paula Vennels) and Alan Bates doesn't. That should tell you everything you need to know about the British Establishment.
-
Alan Bates is a hero for the truth and for seeking justice as he has. He should be knighted at the very least.
-
It’s utterly atrocious what the Post Office has done , and is still is doing.
-
What makes me so angry about this is not just that it happened, its that no expense was spared when they were going after the sub-postmasters - the "justice" system happily threw hundreds of people in jail on incredibly flimsy cases. But then now when the shoe is on the other foot, it doesn't look like anyone is going to be held accountable at all except perhaps a few token resignations.

Post Office ltd was able to be Judge, Jury and Executioner. Paula Vennells and all of the senior Executives, Post Office, Fujitsu and Ministers in the know HAVE TO GO TO PRISON for the damage done to innocent peoples lives and the lives that are sadly lost. How does Paula Vennells sleep at night! This is a perfect example that "POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY"
