    This and his SS colleagues testimony is the most damning testimony so far! Were it notnfor Second Sight's adherence to their contractual obligations, much would have come out earlier! This raises the value of the concept of a 'whistleblowers charter' that protects such activity. The 'usual' means of achieving this - through parliamentary questions et al - clearly was insufficient! Post Office execs (and other staff) who profited must be made to make amends for their corruption and crimes! The thought of Paula Vennels as a Bishop turns my stomach - and as a nephew of a CofE Parish Priest confirms my view of the hypocrisy of that organisation!

    Incredible how one honest person can have such a vivid, well-collected memory when so many from the PO leadership team would probably answer "I'm afraid I can't recall..." when asked what their date of birth is. You'd call them morons, which they absolute are but it then underplays how despicable and cruel they have shown themselves to be. These people must have families. How do they look them in the face knowing they share responsibility for putting an innocent, pregnant woman behind bars? Criminal proceedings must surely follow otherwise it just further highlights the inequality between those with money and those hardworking, decent people that end up paying the price for the corruption and lies of these cretins!

    Question to Paula Vennels: How is your goal of protecting the Post Office's image and brand working out for you?
    Vennels broke down in tears when she told us how she "Loved the Post Office". The problem is that she loved the Post Office at the expense of anything and everything else, including truth, honesty, morals, and decency. Just the mere thought that just ONE person may have been wrongly convicted should be enough to put the brakes on the whole prosecution process. But that would take someone with morals and decency.

      I disagree. Better to let Vennells and the others say their piece, then expose them as the liars that they are than give them the chance to deny Second Sight's evidence.
      Doing it _this_ way reveals just how corrupt POL's management and legal team really are.

      @rvarsigfusson6163 No, he is a solicitor afaik, having qualified in Australia and moved to the UK. Both the Bar Council and Solicitors' regulatory authority have said that in a recent commons select committee, they they would be looking at the professional conduct and advice and case conduct and would be prepared to take action against members whose conduct falls below what is expected. Iirc the inquiry interviewed a solicitor who had been disciplined and fined £20k in Dec 2023. Both authorities have their own newsletters that report this, and AFAIK are already starting this process. BTW, aujard did appear in the inquiry, day 131, on the UA-cam inquiry channel.

    Did Paula Vennells know about CPIA 1996 or did she just choose to ignore it?
    She worked for several BigCorp before Post Office. She is a qualified accountant but can't read a basic balance sheet. She was in fact a professional board member who flitted like a butterfly from one company to another with no actual business experience.

    If this evidence stands (and it seems to) then it is profoundly damning.
    Paula Vennells was an ordained minister of the Anglican Church.
    She was being pushed by Justin Welby for promotion to Bishop.
    The upper echelons seem replete with people quote unable to read a character, read the room or make a cold, moral judgement.
    This is worrying.
    I imagine there will be convictions here.
