It seems to me that the entire senior management of the Post Office were not actually doing anything for their salaries. They neither read anything, said anything, did anything, spoke to anyone, this guy has got it spot on they are either lying through their back teeth or are uselessly incompetent. Jail time beckons.

As he declares he was not lying through his teeth so he was incompetent, can we claw back his bonuses and stop his large pension?
-
I don't recall.. I can't remember...not quite sure what I was doing....but I took my salary and sent innocent people to jail...
-
Corrupt as usual the management of the Post Office needs to be jailed.

The government need to start building a new prison to house all those involved. Just watch the majority get away with it . The Establishment always look after themselves

Lovde that line "you're either lying through your teeth or you're a complete incompetent, which"? and all he could do was say he's not lying...thus proving what many of us had come to think of him after his first few minutes this morning.

Tired of this bullshit. They're all lying through their arses and need to sacked, with their wages going towards hefty compensation payments.
-
Wow, wish I got paid the sums these people got for being crap at my job. Not sure I would last long before being shown the door though...
-
These guys seem collectively to have very poor very poor memories. Not only that but it appears to indicate that they'd not have a clue about their responsibilities.
-
Will any of those responsible go to prison?

Shameful 😢
