Seems that Paula Vennells returned her CBE back.
Yes, what was truly ridiculous is that Fujitsu gave it's lowest level support people access to the system to try and bug fix but this access was unmonitored and untraceable and included the ability to actually process transactions. This access was via a common login which potentially hundreds of past employees could have had access to.It sounds like this was part of a standard support script to me.

Another day another revelation.
Documents showing Post Office top bosses secretly decided in April 2014 to sack forensic accountants who had found bugs in their IT system have been obtained by the BBC.
Just seen that. What a fecking cnut, I hope he lives to regret being such a cnut.The investigator on today is a piece of work.
Still insists the post master was guilty and is pissed off he's being bothered about it
And they should serve 10 times as long.The irony and stupidity of sacking forensic accountants only to be stupid enough to keep the documents showing that decision.
I shouldn't laugh because the amount of lives lost and destroyed is despicable. I know everyone wanted compensation and the truth to come out, but to me that's not even close to being enough. Enough of the innocent served jail time, now those guilty need to as well.
Jason Beer's withering put downs are fantastic. 'hopefully we can improve upon it now the dog walking and carol services are out of the way'Just seen that. What a fecking cnut, I hope he lives to regret being such a cnut.
Spot on.Post Office enquiry ….bosses in arse protection mode, deny all knowledge seems to be the trend.
Far too late for apologies, prison is what they deserve.
Even more worrying is that he's still head of legal at the Post Office.Complete car crash stuff today.
Solicitor advising the post office not to look into issues until after a case in case they have to disclose the problem harming their defence.
Also hilarious use of 'top bantz' by Jason Beer KC to put down this prick
People have been struck off for far less egregious conduct than he's been questioned on demonstrating a lack of integrity, so hopefully not for much longer..Even more worrying is that he's still head of legal at the Post Office.
What did he do/say?Also hilarious use of 'top bantz' by Jason Beer KC to put down this prick
From memory he messaged a colleague who had talked shit about SPMs saying 'you're the only person more cynical than me' they responded with 'I'll take it as a badge of honour ' and he responded 'as intended 'What did he do/say?

Jason Beer asked what that exchange meant, he was struggling, got pressed, 'were you mocking SPMs', more struggling, 'was it just banter?' 'top bantz?'
Watching her during the inquiry the amount of deflecting she did reminded me of the narcissist's prayer, "That didn't happen, and if it did it wasn't that bad, and if it was it's not a big deal, and if it was it's not my/post office's fault and if it was I/we didn't mean it and if I did you deserved it."Angela Van Den Bogerd might be one of the worst people alive today.
Contemptible prick
at one point in her testimony she does say that in her experience 'some' SPMs were guilty of theft 'before Horizon', and we know Paula Vennells told MPs that the cause of the issue is 'temptation' so I guess its probably their thinking that some of what happened was deserved, even if they are aware enough not to say it in the current political landscape, unlike that Barrister who went after Lee Castleton who actually blamed him for signing off the accounts, or the Scottish dude who told the inquiry to stop bothering him because it was 'so long ago and the guy did it'.Watching her during the inquiry the amount of deflecting she did reminded me of the narcissist's prayer, "That didn't happen, and if it did it wasn't that bad, and if it was it's not a big deal, and if it was it's not my/post office's fault and if it was I/we didn't mean it and if I did you deserved it."
Ok she may have not said that last part but wouldn't surprise me if she at least thought it. Let's face it you generally don't get to the type of positions she got to in organisations like that by having a conscience.
Does anyone know when Paula Vennells is supposed to appear at the inquiry?
But not without crocodile tears as though we are supposed to feel sorry for herAn apology. Great stuff.
I am not sure that giving evidence is the correct term.Paula Vennells giving evidence right now at the enquiry.
Her evidence was laughed at by people sitting in the gallery on a few points, so I don't think it's going down too wellI am not sure that giving evidence is the correct term.
She was 'not informed' about anything and was completely unaware of anything to do with the Post Office computer system.
And of course she broke down in tears. Big surprise eh. Poor thing. Bet those post office staff felt really sorry for her.
