    Prison .. she knows exactly what was going on
  • She loved it so much she sent a load if em to jail, over paid and doesn't care about ordinary ppl
  • @user-dj8vm4qz8k
    Intentional or incompetence she should be incarcerated for life.
  • @paul-gr9jk
    She has all the attributes needed to be an MP next
  • The more That I see about the Biggest Miscarriage of Justice in the UK , the more that I’m Disgusted. These people need jail time, but that’s very unlikely, because these people never face the consequences of their actions
  • If she isn’t imprisoned then it is one law for us another for them
  • @cndns2
    We've been watching this inquiry and after 3 days of watching PV's lies and putting blame on others, it becomes evident she is devoid of human feelings and compassion. Despicable creature this.
  • @johndewever1322
    She’s evil, a monster for the misery she poured on so many
  • @KA55123
    Its tell that she only cried when talking about herself. No shame for what she has done to everyone else.
  • @johngraham6181
    I wonder who is paying for her legal advisors. I bet we are.
  • @ericcorry1199
    Crocodile tears in attempt to show she had feelings
  • @pat4brown
    I’ve read that they won’t be charged because having made the enquiry public they’ll never get a jury who has no bias.
  • @tornagawn
    I loved the POST office, but not the staff….
  • @vernonrabbetts
    She was either incompetent, negligent, or malign, there are no other options there and the fact that she held the role she did says everything about the value of CEO's.
  • She is not lying, simply economical with the truth. Clucking bell, she is part of what is wrong in the UK

    Extract from Venell's email of Dec 17th 2014 about The One Show: "What I thought was helpful was that it presented Horizon as the problem, which is exactly what SS say they haven't found. And so easier for us to refute." In my humble opinion this, with her comments on two individual cases, is devastating it shows she was intimately familiar with the details of what was happening. Her tearful claims of ignorance ring hollow. The documents reveal so much.
