Mr Bates vs the Post Office

Still employed by them - WHY.

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil - what an absolute slimy weasel he is.

Turn that on it's head, if (as he claimed) he's ashamed to have been part of an organisation that is guilty of the biggest miscarriage of justice in legal history would he still want to work for it?
His current role is head of legal remediation, he claims that since 2022 he has no part in the compensation scheme but given his role it's hard to believe he doesn't advise on it.
Call me a cynic but having watched his testimony he doesn't strike me as someone that would want to compensate SPMR's appropriately.
He was also part of the failed mediation scheme in 2013 and advised counsel in the common issues civil action trial (Bates and others V post office) in 2019, surely that is a conflict of interests?

Miller said, if you wish to say that yes, to which he replied well it's one or the other, brilliant stuff

There is no better feeling than cross examining someone who is lying*. If you’re any good, that is.

Edit: *plainly lying.

If there's something I really dislike it's a person who only stays in a job for a couple of years before moving on
To me it shows the person has no confidence in their own ability They blag it for a bit and then need to move before they're found out.
All these executives, such as Crozier, fall into this bracket

Dislike all you want but some of the biggest culprits here have worked for the Post Office since Methuselah was a lad. As in many traditional organisations, a number of long-tenure jobsworths have had two or three promotions too many. In the process they built up big pensions.

We sometimes used to refer to such people rather unkindly as “returned empties”.

The villains come from both camps.

One thing that unites them is their lack of acquaintance with the concept of accountability. What pisses me off is that we’ll still no doubt still be saying that 12 months from now. A couple of sacrificial grunts may get a kicking but the real players will escape without loss of either finance or freedom.

You mean the ones that haven't been shredded?

Well obviously, a shredded document can't be produced!
I'm not sure that any that were shredded would show us anything new anyway. We already know they are about project sparrow of which we have seen plenty.
