    If you mean testicle, I'd agree :wink:

    CPS operates on probability of conviction. It isn't political. Vide the Stephen Lawrence corrupt police case.... I don't agree with it (the decisions) but I understand it. It is about not enough money being set aside for 'risky' prosecutions. This is HMG saving ordinary working people's...

    And while I agree with you, this is the post office thread. Watch out for 'derailment apocalypse' vituperation incoming. ???

    You didn't fancy Corbyn? You were not alone. And a vote for most of the minor parties in most constituencies was a wasted vote. So, QED. I assume.

    My guess is Corbyn. Understandable. All a long time ago now, though...

    Nobody is guilty of any criminal act. When postmasters were lied to about each one being the only one under investigation, this was a clerical error. Errors of judgement are not criminal acts. With hindsight people may have done things differently. Etc. etc.

    From my limited experience in the higher education sector and in research societies and in science publishing, those that float to the top put 'the good' of the organization at the top of their priorities, are not interested in any distractions, are fluent in weasel words. and take a 'measured'...

    Unbelievable stuff at the hearing now. These scum should be jailed.

    [News] Post Office Scandal -

    I heard someone employed by the PO today claim that a word file, documenting wrongdoing in 2010, that had been saved to a computer, could not have been saved by him because he did not know how to save word documents. At the time. As far as he can recall. The people on R5 at the time reviewing...

    Sounds very likely from her performance today. She took decisions that could only have been taken on the basis of ignoring information she was given. The actions she took were designed to do one think only - scapegoat the postmasters and cover up what had actually happened. And the only way she...

    This is brutal. Apparently however, as long as you say that you don't remember whether you saw the clear evidence of a systems failure when you responded to being told about it by doing nothing, that's fine.

    HMG (the tories) were complicit in a cover up.

    So did mine. GPO telephonist (till becoming a mother/'housewife' in the 1950s) and GPO teleprinter engineer.

    A bit of political point scoring going on, with some immense aftertiming on this thread. As usual, the buck stops with the electorate. If we want to remove 'red tape' (regulation) and bring 'market forces' (privatization) into publicly owned companies, to make them more 'efficient'...

    [News] Post Office Scandal -

    I couldn't care less about any of that. People high up at the PO lied to the postmasters and pursued malicious litigation. Someone directed this. Given the lying (which is not in dispute) there is a fair bet the same high up people at the PO knew the system was at fault and pretended that it...

    They bagged them all on the back of the PO one, which was rushed through knowing it wasn't fit for purpose with a view to fixing it later, and making better solutions for all the contracts that tumbled in after the PO 'success'. This is what happened. The motivation to lie (pretending to every...
