Unless people end up jailed or fined heavily and sacked with no pension, justice
will not have been seen to be done, CBE is nowt really.

Agree 100% . They should be tried and jailed if found guilty.

In full agreement.  This sidekick of hers, van something, needs dealing with too.  Both of them need a public condemnation and if that means legal action then so be it.

Anyone who lied and got people killed jailed or ruined as a result should be in court.

I agree.  Anyone.  Post Office, Civil Service or Government.  There has to be an "audit trail", so to speak, sourceable/findable/detectable, of who did what and who decided what was going to be done.
But is there the WILL to do so?
This clown Sunak, on his feet and on tv last night used the phrase " I just want to see this out the door", sic.  What a despicably crass thing to say.

Did he really. An inconvenience to be got rid of then.

Did she lie ?

I recall ex Tory mp Zahawi shouting at her at the select committee
But not sure she lied ( programme shows trying to get answers before hand

The same Zahawi that admitted to using 6k of taxpayer's money to heat his stables and sacked by Rashid Sanook for a serious breach of ministerial code?

Vennells allowed (maybe even actively encouraged) the prosecutions to take place.

Then, when she was called to Parliament to testify under oath
she actually emailed folk to find out the truth. Don't want to
lie under oath... Ha ha ha.

She clearly sh1t herself when discovering the truth
she hadn't bothered to discover when prosecuting others in court.

Then tried her best to hide the truth from
parliament.

That sounds like a lot of supposition yhtl

Were you there ?

A bunch of verminous people at the top have made life hell, and worse, for ordinary people going about their work lfc. That's all that you need to know.
By:
lfc1971
When: 09 Jan 24 15:01
People are like that ,, and not just those at the top
But right throughout a business or company or factory
At all levels ,, the system failed and people were caught up in the mess and madness
Because they didn’t understand what they were doing or what was happening

Supposition based on her emails.

Whereas your supposition is based upon..?
By:
lfc1971
When: 09 Jan 24 15:07
I saw the emails , that were on the programme
She was trying to make sure she could give categorical answers
As I said I can’t recall her telling lies to the select committee
Anything else you might think you know is supposition

...............

People at the Post office and Fujitsu certainly knew what was happening, they were protecting their own
reputation at the expense of hundreds of ordinary working folk. They deserve some jail time and huge personal financial loss.

That;s the first time I;ve seen an lfc1971 post for about two years and boy what a great decision I made.
By:
lfc1971
When: 09 Jan 24 15:16
If they knew what was happening they would have been correct
and been proven correct when it went to court

But they didn’t know , they were wrong but thought they knew
That’s why they went to court - not because they knew what was happening but because they didn’t
By:
lfc1971
When: 09 Jan 24 15:17
You don’t take hundreds of people to court knowing that you are wrong

You are not going to take that risk , that really would be madness

One more post for another hat-trick lfc.
Oh chit!  I;ve ruined it.  I scored an o.g. to break the sequence.

But doesn't common sense prevail. Why on earth would hundreds (all in the same profession) steal? Surely somebody realised that perhaps there is an issue? If anything, that doesn't make sense at all.
By:
lfc1971
When: 09 Jan 24 15:27
Yes aspro ,, but the problem is with computer technology
and indeed with any electronic system these were intermittent random faults over a vast number and area
Like ghosts in the machine when they can’t be seen they are difficult to face and fix .. the temptation is to believe
they don’t exist
That left the other option

Which I have explained on the other thread .. didn’t actually make sense
By:
Aspro
When: 09 Jan 24 15:29
Well, with so much exposure they should be able to get to the bottom of it now, but I'm doubtful a satisfactory conclusion will arise.
By:

When: 09 Jan 24 15:29
* difficult to trace

It was a complete **** up ,, it needed some clever technician to
test , find , trace and rectify the fault
Where are these clever young people today ?

There can be great satisfaction if you manage to do that
It’s part of the job, or should be
By:

When: 09 Jan 24 15:44
If the drama was factual, Fujitsu had a squad of people working overnight 'correcting' system errors, any they missed or couldn't get round to became theft on the part of the employee.
By:
lfc1971
When: 09 Jan 24 16:03
When you work on anything of that nature - as a function tester/ fault finder , diagnostician it’s your job to make
sure there are no faults after you have finished your shift night or day and before you sign your name to it
If you’re good nothing escapes , it can almost become like a sixth sense to recognise some , it’s a black art
ps it’s always good to work together with someone else on these sorts of things
If you are sympatico with each other in how you work and complement -doesn’t mean being the same but one might see something the other doesn’t that’s the best way
By:

The role of good management is to put those two people together
By:

When: 09 Jan 24 16:28
Fujitsu claimed the system worked perfectly. If it did why were people working every day and night to rectify system errors without the knowledge of the postmasters and -it is claimed- without the knowledge of the Post Office management.

The common wisdom has all pub landlords watering beer
and taking profit from the bandit..

I suppose the post office software could have
been introduced because they suspected sub pist
masters were on the fiddle.... Now the software
has caught them.... Perhaps, maybe, dunno, but
Group think goes a long way sometimes.

By:
lfc1971
When: 09 Jan 24 19:44
saddo I’ve already explained
If they knew what had happened they wouldn’t have taken hundreds of people to court
Because that would have been suicide and madness ,  as we have seen
I don’t want to have to have to explain that again
