Sorry, but I have to disagree. He was clearly part of a wider cover-up. A "conspiracy to pervert the course of justice" if you like. People did serious prison time and at least one took their own life as a result of this conspiracy to "hide" the failings of Horizon. Ward changed documents...

Absolutely agree. That kind of info doesn't get passed around from dickhead to dickhead until someone decides to bang it on the website. I'm with Clampy and you 100%. It was a final deliberate act of retribution.

And the Post Office scandal continues. They have now published the details of every post office manager falsely prosecuted over Horizon. Yup, that's right. Some of those prosecuted had even kept it a secret from close family because they were embarrassed and ashamed...

Been shoved off the front page by soggy Sunak and the GE but Vennels still giving evidence. Still bleating she "didn't know" or claiming she "can't remember" and has introduced a new tactic now of pretending not to understand the questions. She knows she is in last hour or so of giving...

Not even mentioned on R4 news headlines this morning. But I did get to hear the PM say he was "extremely proud" of the achievements of the last 14 years of Tory government. By calling a GE now, at least he can abandon the legislation to end "no fault" evictions. I'm looking forward to another...

I loved the way that the KC totally ignored her pitiful blubbing and just kept firing the questions at her. Good man. Sound fellow.

...but she isn't making a very good job of it. She didn't know and she wasn't told and it wasn't her fault and anyway she is "truly sorry". So that's ok then. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/business-68893655

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ex-post-office-investigator-landed-32527086 I'm slightly concerned that we haven't "let him go". For a club that is rightfully concerned about its reputation and "doing the right thing", I think there are very few that would say that by employing this...

The Mr Bates v PO documentary last night was interesting and interviewed some of the postmasters/mistresses (that sounds archaic) whose lives were devasted by the corruption of PO management and investigators, and those involved in writing the drama and acting in it. Over 100 new cases have...

Same as all those coppers at Hillsborough who "revised" their statements and lied on oath. Mind you, every last one of them got away with it.

Plenty!!!

But hold up. In the video, the scumbag investigator refers to "a criminal interview under PACE". Then those interviews MUST be recorded. So how can there possibly be any doubt what was said? Unless the investigators were conducting interviews into a "criminal offence" WITHOUT the interviews...

I'm not so sure that it is a question of looking for "scapegoats" but more a question of ensuring those who were responsible for the harrassment and persecution of the innocent are held accountable for their actions and are sanctioned / punished accordingly. Nobody wants the innocentr to be...

I also am uncomfortable about using legisaltion to overturn the decisions of the Courts. How difficult could it be to find a few Appeal Court judges to work a full day and hear all the appeals? The clerk announces the case. The CPS offers no evidence. The judge quashes the conviction. I...

It is excellent tv. The casting and the acting are absolutely superb. So good that at times it is like watching a documentary. The treatment of the PO staff is truly appalling as is the lengths that the PO went to in an attempt cover it up. Somebody needs to be held to account. Hopefully...

Oh yes. HMRC has had a succession of IT disasters going back decades. About ten years ago I had a meeting with senior, head office staff from HMRC. One of the issues we discussed was HMRC's failing IT systems. During the course of the conversation HMRC said "we are beholden to our IT...
