The biggest problem is there is no viable alternative - stamps - universal collection and delivery etc - Amazon/DPD etc would never buy into that. Sounds rather like other monopolies eh? Trains / water/ utilities etc - none of the UK fucking works under this lot

Still no mention of Adam Crozier, but the omission has been flagged by a couple of media outlets.

Bloody hell, I'd forgotten about that clown....

That is one of the reasons nothing will ever be done about all the culprits in any of the, far too many, scandals in this country. Because there will always be people keeping quiet about their matés involvement. Either because of money or to keep them relevant!
The ordinary man or woman in the street will always come off worst as they hide each other and cover their backs.

It wasn’t “appropriate action”

Agreed, it was a malicious prosecution from very early on, “you’re the only one this is happening to” is highlighted far too often in the programme for it to be a coincidence, and rightly so, it was clearly an attempt at a cover up with an absolutely blatant disregard for the employees welfare and rights.

Appalling and they want fucking over themselves.

Of course what has to be remembered is what is termed compensation its really money Horizon took and which the Post Office pocketed. That money needs to be returned then on top you get compensation. Thats how justice works.

They even included it in their profits!

Over 700 sub postmasters prosecuted, several hundred more hounded out of their livelihoods. Did not one senior manager at the post office sense something wasn’t right? Not one person? This must be the biggest corporate cover up in British history. As a start I’d like to see Paula Vessells locked up for impersonation of an ordained priest.

Is she still practicing because if she is I expect her sermon on Sunday will be interesting, these people should be hounded at every opportunity in public until they do the right thing .

Apparently she no longer is. But the fact she was is a disgrace.

Royal mail is a separate company from the post office. Its privately owned whereas the post office is government controlled. They do overlap in areas...such as collections from Post Offices etc.

A few years ago a couple of companies took on mail delivery in a few select areas and quickly dropped it as its not commercially viable. The logistics involved are immense.
