Mr Bates vs the Post Office

What has that got to with the post office?

Its just the gradual decline of a service that used to be universal and was split up bits of it sold we get charged more and get less back - next thing it will be parcels only no letters meanwhile the other lot will withdraw to Crown Post Offices only. You have banks wanting it all on line - supermarkets who would prefer to deliver to you what they want you to have and railway ticket offices being closed so they can sell you the dearest tickets on line - there is a rampant pursuit for profits from money that isn't there any more people are skint and services are collapsing. Sorry maybe a rant for the capitalism thread.
 
Lots.
There are 3 Panorama specials (all on BBC IPlayer) 2015, 2020 and 2022.
Nick Wallis has done a podcast.

Start with those and if you want more let me know.
Thanks mate. Even though I know of the story (through this site), I really didn't know a whole lot about it. I'll check out the Panorama stuff first.
 
Are vennells and van den bogerd to appear before the current committee or have they already appeared and/or don’t have to appear? Cunts

By committee I assume you mean the enquiry.
They haven't appeared yet but will most certainly be called in phases 5/6 later in the year. As it's a judicial enquiry they will be compelled to appear. Vennels has said she intends to co-operate fully with the enquiry although whether she suffers with the amnesia that has inflicted many others that have appeared remains to be seen.
Van Den Bogerd has already been accused of perjury by a high court judge.
 
Should be interesting today. The inspectors were paid bonuses to finf evidence of fraud are in the chair.

The wife of her deceased husband who died before his name was cleared is sitting in the front row to watch the PO Inspector who searched their home from top to bottom being interogated

Do you know where this is being shown pal?
 
On C4 News right now they are showing proof that Vennels lied - lied to the public and lied to the Inquiry - she should face jail time and the Church should come out and completely disown her and her actions.
 
Today's witness (Raymond Grant-former POL investigator) is a peach! Basically he's saying that he's far to busy to help the enquiry understand why 900 sub postmasters were wrongfully convicted of theft/false accounting, made bankrupt and generally had their and their family's whole life ended!
