As far as I'm concerned, a Christian is somebody who believes in Jesus Christ as God on Earth but they'll tell you a Christian also follows his teachings. However, his teachings are clearly open to interpretation. Vennells for example has interpreted "love thy neighbour" as "feel free to...

I've long since given up putting Christian's on a pedestal. I've seen enough down the years to make me very wary of them. Bone-idle, pointless, and bigoted are some of the adjectives I'd use to describe some of these self-appointed bastions of morality. I'd happily give examples of Christians...

Presumably, yes - although I haven't heard that one. I have no wish to argue this one really - just that in this clamour to ensure this waste of skin "inspector" is held to account, it's possible that some things are being attributed to him that he's not guilty of.

You get that impression, sure. But he's working for the Post Office which is(was?) a high profile reputable organisation, not some fly-by-night tin-pot local firm. You'd think he'd have been trained as to how to go about his job properly. Really I am just not entirely sure that word was used...

The investigator is clearly not a nice man and seriously incompetent, but I still question this. The only witness was the woman's husband. Surely it's possible to have misheard? For a start, surely nobody remotely professional considers it appropriate to use the word "bitch" in that context?

What?? A "post office investigator" who responds to reports of problems with "I wasn't technically minded... I would expect that to come from the people above" and then declared the Post Office's "absolute confidence" in the software but now blames in on lawyers? Jesus fücking Christ. Get in...

It doesn't seem odd to ask for immunity to me. If I was him having seen all this unfold, I'd have no faith that justice was going to be done either. Nobody is "so confident" that he has no case to answer, but based on his job and seniority, it's a good guess that he is unlikely to be the...

Indeed @Bozza. It could also be that he was the architect at the beginning, and concluded the very first iteration was performing adequately to his knowledge. Who knows? I can't really believe a person in that position was responsible for anything other than - at worst - piss poor system design.

You're taking the phrase "behind this" far too literally. All we know is that he's asked for immunity. WZ is merely contending that a technical architect has no case to answer anyway. He's probably right. At worst, he's crap at his job. He's not responsible for the widespread lies...

I am willing to bet that an inquiry will simply conclude that there was systemic arse-covering at the expense of innocent sub-postmasters rather than name any names. That's the problem with inquiries; they often merely tell us what we already know, whilst failing to hold anyone truly...

You say that, but sometimes even these basic procedures and processes are not undertaken. I remember working for NatWest Cards in London (their credit card division) back in 1997, and some of the network drives containing important data were not backed up, and of the 15 or so applications being...

In a statement, Vennells said: “I have so far maintained my silence as I considered it inappropriate to comment publicly while the Inquiry remains ongoing and before I have provided my oral evidence. “I am, however, aware of the calls from subpostmasters and others to return my CBE. I have...
