Mr Bates vs the Post Office

Crying because she is being asked questions about things she has actually done. Probably part of her strategy is to blub.

Cry some more, bitch!

I think I'll save my sympathy for the many hundreds of sub-postmasters who went through much worse interrogations and either had their life-savings stolen by their employer, or were bankrupted or were jailed (or possibly all three) for something they didn't actually do.

This was done by the very organisation that this dreadful Vennals creature was paid a fortune to run.

They weren't Employees. They were under contract by POL to operate a sub post office.

They won't. After the Herald disaster the company were fined but nobody was jailed as far as I can remember. Although the ships were painted in Townsend Thoreson colours they were then owned by P&O.

Correct,I was working for a P&O group company and they had recently bought Townsend Thorsesen just a few weeks before this disaster if I remember correctly.

Yes it suited them that the ship hadn't been repainted and it was still known as Townsend Thoreson.

AMEN!
I simply cannot and never want to imagine what those sub-postmasters went through.
To have been cautioned, interrogated and having their lives turned upside down....all the time knowing that they had done nothing wrong, that this was some sort of Kafka-esque scene that would end when soeone came to their senses....whereas Vennels knew exactly what she was doing.
The tears are bad enough but those fake apologies really are stooping to new depths

Did anybody ever think to look at the worse cases of so-called theft and examine more closely those accused?

Surely if they had stolen such vast sums of money their bank accounts, possessions and life style would have reflected their increase in wealth?

Looking at those the Post Office took to court there was no sign whatsoever they had suddenly had a windfall.

The whole sorry affair is utterly disgusting.

They covered that easily enough.
Virtually none of them were charged with theft, they were charged with false accounting!

Don't know about at the bottom of it but a Civil Servant sat on the board during the years of the scandal so various members of government should have been informed at various times.

No wonder our country is in such a fukin state when we have people like Vennells in positions of power?

They always seem to worm their way into those positions. Once there they are almost impossible to shift. Oh they get let go if they're not very good, but usually with a golden handshake. They then get employed in a similar position in another company and fuck that up as well. It's nuts.
