- A former Post Office inspector “asked a sub-postmistress’s son if he loved” his mother, the inquiry has heard.
Jennifer O’Dell, who ran a Post Office in Great Staughton, Cambridgeshire, was suspended from her role in 2010 after being blamed for a £9,617 shortfall in her accounts which was actually caused by defects in Horizon.
Jon Longman, the lead investigator in her case, was questioned on the investigation and others he was involved in today.

He was a thug in a suit before but on the stand he was like a Timid mouse uttering the famous words like his predecessors ‘I don’t recall”
Maybe he should change his name to Peter Gabriel
It's surprising he didn't say he was only following orders.
@@tonywalton1464 Probably kept that excuse for a later date
Yes, one of Alan Bates' 'thugs in suits'.
@@tonywalton1464Yes, the Nuremberg defence. Mostly these people seem to be going for the loss of memory defence. It is truly amazing how poor the standard of their investigators was/is and how utterly arrogant their management was/is. A totally toxic egotistical organisation.
Did this odious bully wear a brown shirt and jackboots when he visited people......... obviously glorified in his power over people..not an inspector more like and interrogator.... hopefully the favour will be returned..!!!!!!
I wonder if his wife "really loves him", hard to believe eh'!. 😒..........
One can only hope ! Has he a son or daughter let’s investigate them ? The sick crap 💩 of a person !
so... he can't remember what was said...
but he CAN remember that what he CAN'T REMEMBER was taken out of context...
lie exposed right there.
Exactly Mark👍
Spot on Mark 👍
I’ve never known so many amnesiacs work for one company at one time
Jon Longman came across as a very inarticulate & weak man, who clearly found strength in his role of near absolute power in judging & wrongly helping to convict so many poor folks...
The most depressing part ? The fact no one will face any jail time and it will get swept away by the government like they did Greenfell and blood transfusion scandals
I watched it all live. Here is a brief summary of this miscreant's testimony. "It wasn't me Guv. That was some else. I can't remember. It's my name at the bottom but it was not my comment. I didn't do that. That was some else's responsibility. It wasn't me Guv. I did nothing wrong. With hindsight I should have done this. With hindsight, I should have done that. It wasn't me Guv. I cannot recall. I didn't do that . I can't remember. It wasn't me Guv."
It's as if they are reading the same damn script. And is that dreadful Bradshaw guy still in his investigator job? Because he shouldn't be.
Another thug in a suit. And Another that should be behind bars.
"i can't remember what was said, but i can remember that what was said was taken out of context"
Absolute disgrace how is it handled and how its been handled. These corporates should bear all responsibility.
Another bully he should be in Jail.
All Post Office official that received any form of bonus-should be forced to repay that bonus-before being sacked!
Or jail time !
I think the post office should adopt the slogan “I don’t remember” as their new tag line. The post office I don’t remember!!!! Has a very familiar ring to it.
Collective Amnesia, who would have thought?
Totally incoherent!
or... I have no recollection of that.
👍👍👍
Blame the lawyers , they instruct these thugs to say as little as possible ,then when asked direct questions the answer is always the same, I can't remember.the whole kit and caboodle of them should along with the greedy grasping lawyers should be prosecuted , but it almost amounts to a certainty that none of them will be .
Again, rotten to the core🤬
They are all squirming like a can of worms !!!
Can't remember, can't remember, jail all these post office investigators/managers
Absolute liar until one of these head guys is prosecuted this kind of thing gonna keep happening its time for ceo s and these big bosses who recieve huge salaries must be held to account
When asked if Mr Logman remembered speaking to the postmistress's son, he appeared to say "interviewed him, not under caution, but on a friend interview" I wonder what the hell that meant? Anybody??
Exactly what I picked up on! If that’s a friends interview I hate to be in an official one!
If it's a "friend interview" he should remember why and what was said.
I find it incredible that nearly all those investigators have sudden bouts of amnesia when recalling details of what they accused postmasters and postmistresses of. Yet these postmasters and postmistresses can remember exact details details of what they were charged with.l
*"I don't recall" is todays version of "I was following orders" at the Nuremberg trials.*
A very similar mentality.
Typical arrogant bully. I cannot express my contempt for the Post office and its National Socialist behavior.
Not aware of what I was doing,didn’t know anything the time I was in the post office…absolute liar and I damned hope they are taken to court and jailed for there dereliction of duty..
Too good for them. They will have 6 months in a nice open prison. Convince the world they discovered God and go on with their nice sweet lives
@@robertperring4194With Paula Vennells as their spiritual leader?
The way people immeasurably more intelligent and honest than their inquisitors were treated beggars belief. The man being questioned here repeatedly displayed such a lack of intelligence that I'm amazed he'd have got a job delivering letters, let alone persecuting honest intelligent people who kept protesting about the faults in the system.
I keep asking the question, where did they get these oiks from?
Hi Alida. They are all pretending to be thick with memory loss as advised by their legal teams so as not to incriminate themselves or colleagues
@@petermichiels8333But they didn't forget to collect their salaries.
It’s a convenient lack of memory.
I don’t remember!! Hard to believe ppl can do this and get away with it for 20 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing how amnesiac all of these millionaire executives are
Excellent questioning by Sam Stein.
Honour for Mr Stein I say.
Can’t remember what was said but it wasn’t said like that. Got it. Thanks.
"Friend interview"?
Jesus, what a con man.
He can’t remember, but says it wasn’t in that context, so he does remember? The quality of their input into this enquiry is astounding!
Get them behind bars 😡
The fish rots from the head.
I will be very surprised if anyone who deserves to be prosecuted is. If there is justice and they are prosecutes and convicted and don't end up in prison, the bare minimum should be very hefty fines and all proceeds go in a pot for the victims. "I can't remember" my part in ruining these peoples lives is sickening. These people will go home after their turn, sit down with a glass of wine and say "I'm glad that is over" without an ounce of genuine remorse.
I will be amazed if anybody at all is prosecuted. They will all just lie low for a while and then walk into well paid jobs somewhere else. That is the way of things in the UK.
This reinforces Alan Bates comments that the Post Office while they said Postmasters were 'partners' were not in reality treated that way.
These bullies all need to be prosecuted.
Rotten to the core. Reminds me of the witch and hillsboro...absolutely disgusting. Enough is enough.
Yet another slimey bully employed by the PO. Did they have a policy for hiring, promoting and training such onerous humans?
your right they are either half wits or goons in a suit...even more underwhelming than a tory mp
WTF is a friend interview?
Ah was it in record? Sounds like intimidation
Lying bar steward
The Post Office should be disbanded
This guy was an inspector - wtf! He should pay back his salary as he was clearly not doing his job. He's another of these post office self-servers who must be personally prosecuted.
I bet he wouldn’t forget a term in jail the gunt
Simple, all these people are complicit so belong in jail or to lose as much as the postmasters have. Also, immediately remove powers to investigate and prosecute from the post office.
Not so clever now is he.
The thugs in suits clearly relished the power they held over people and enjoyed wrecking their lives.
Hold him to account lock him. Up
The objectivity, the impartial analysis, integrity and pursuit of truth not demonstrated by the POL Investigators is here to see for all.
Ironically when the bully becomes bullied...he answers with emm...emmmm...can remember
"Friend interview" 🙄
Friendly interrogation.
Another "although I don't remember anything, I do remember that the thing (that I don't remember happening) happened differently " statement.
They either know or they don't know, they certainly don't get to cagtegorically answer in the way this chap just did.
Under a ‘friend’ interview??
Get them all in jail.
Reading off the script. I wasn’t aware, I don’t recall, I can’t remember.
These inspectors are thick as mince, trying to demonstrate a patina of intelligence but just thickening the mince.
Another liar, so many of them.
A friend interview?.
What part did politicians play in this 🤔
exactly...
because they are lying like they know they are holding a get out of jail free card...
He says he can’t remember what was said but it wasn’t in that context!! That is a brazen lie right there. If he can’t remember what was said, he can’t remember anything, including the context. He is dead to rights. Liars and underhand behaviour by so many Post Office senior managers and investigators, who must all go to prison and be asset stripped and have their lives ruined, as they ruined so many sub-postmasters and mistresses. Shameful. Absolutely shameful.
The P. O. GOT exactly what they wanted... Now it's time........
He can't remember what he said but he remembers the context of whatever he did say was in. Err ... right.
Funny how they remember nothing - prison for the lot of them!
Um is not an answer, but an indication of guilt. What a lovely chap
Prison time
Jail, jail, jail, we have a winner!
He should do 20 years for fraud
I vas only following orders…
They need to be prosecuted every one of them .
Prison please ….
Notice his ears a turned red ,a tell tail sign when someone is lying.
Its strange how these people cant remember most things......
He didn’t give a toss!!!
Prison for bullies...
So evil how do they sleep
I love hos mother, even if nobody else does
😡
He’ll have an honours degree in buck-passing and a post-graduate degree in convenient amnesia.
No-one at the Post Office has any memory at all - extraordinary.
Does not deserve the title ‘investigator’
Will we see justice ‼️ I really don’t think we will
The Torygraph standing up for the little people, imagine that?
What a pity he's not in court, but I guess none of them ever will be. Disgraceful 😡
He is a coward had to go on video link .
He knows he did wrong, and he should admit to his wrongdoing. It is better to come clean for his own consciences sake.
Damn if I was her son, I'd be having words.
He should be in prison.
Think there must have been something in the tea that made them forget.
Going down big time. 🙊
The sad part of this investigation from the start. We have all went to the post office at sometime. The people behind the desk and local. Postman. Are the main part to what we all see as the PO. These investigators or whatever they call themselves.
Have destroyed the trust the public have in the PO.
Wow. In which context is that 'ok'?!
They ain’t so smug now
Surprised he didn't use the 'I was just following orders' excuse.
He can't remember or recall anything, but he does remember his salary, bonuses and pension no doubt.
"I don't recall/I can't, don't, won't remember/it was somebody else's responsibility/nobody told me/I just followed orders......." And these ciphers were well paid for their sins. And yes - these were sins of unbelievable persecution. Bring on Vennell's........
Where are the people who actually messed about with the accounts ? Why are Fujitsu being protected ? Yes , this guy is odious , but it wasn’t him in that remote room in Bracknell.
“If it was said! It wasn’t said in that context!” Given the situation! What turn of phrase(context) could possibly determine, that an impartial investigation would form a question that is not based on a pre determined forgone conclusion!!
This is the unbelievable contempt that faces this enquiry!!
Jail the lot of them take away there pensions and savings guilty by association, afford them the same contempt as they afforded innocent post masters. “Well I was following orders!!” Yea that’s what they said in Nberg
His no man
Shameful behaviour. What was the context that he can remember but not explain but can’t remember what he said. Maybe the context had nothing to do with the post office investigation? Odd, eh?
They are all downright liars. End of.
He should go to jail
What context.
Amnesia criminal
