- Ex-Post Office manager Nicki Arch reacts to TalkTV's exclusive secret recordings of Post Office Director of Comms Richard Taylor.
Hundreds of Post Office branch managers were convicted of swindling money on the basis of evidence from the technology giant’s flawed Horizon accounting system.
Rishi Sunak on Wednesday announced that hundreds of subpostmasters in England and Wales could have their names cleared by the end of the year under blanket legislation to be introduced within weeks.
Nicki says: "Their arrogance and lies have wrecked people's lives. To think someone of that calibre can talk like that - he needs to be prosecuted."

He should be imprisoned immediately
This is an establishment problem, not just the post office.This has been going on for 20 years and has been ignored by most politicians, who are only now suddenly outraged.
It deflects From the PPE Scandal! Anyone would think it’s an election year 🙄.
This happens even now in anything government run. Including the actual government. We are run by idiots. Everywhere.
Longer than 20 years. Hillsborough was 35 years ago. This was an integrated multi-service cover-up that focused within hours on victim blaming, briefing lies to the media and legal process.
Nothing to do with election year of course
He only apologised when he got caught. These despicable god-awful creatures recognise one crime only... Getting caught.
Those responsible should be prosecuted by the CPS, including the prosecutors that worked for the post office.
The CPS and DPP have hunkered in the trenches over the best part of 2 decades.
So many people in the Post Office management that caused this scandal received a bonus for getting convictions, while the whole time knowing Postmasters were innocent, they should be looked at By the CPS.
These Post Office bosses are saying sorry now after twenty years! They lied for ages by saying Horizon was not at fault!
The abuse of power and utter contempt for the innocent postmasters was disgusting!
We need to see these ghastly people in prison for corruption and perjory!
They should return their bonuses and be given a criminal record!
The Royal Warrant has to be removed from the Post Office!
Class action lawsuit by 700 postmasters against the Post Office & Fijitsu is the ONLY way forward!!! And sue every manager, investigator and lawyer for every penny they own!!!
This is why so many in positions of power get away with it. You can go back to the 1970's (or even earlier) to find examples of those in a position of power abusing that power. It costs money to take it to court and most if not all just do not have that kind of money . That those abusing power seem to be able to dip into the deep pockets of the taxpayer just means you are already on the backfoot. Often it is only if those abusing make a really dumb mistake in their arrogance that they get caught. (I've heard of one being recorded basically trying to extort money on a recording they knew was being made, that was a tragic story in that two of those who were put under pressure committed suicide, one by shot gun, the other by gas, others lost homes and livelihoods, this from the 1970s and it sounds very familiar)
I worked for TI Raleigh and what went on was sickening, I just feel all these corporations are the same. Arrogant beyond belief.
Both ed davey and keir starmer should be made to resign in my opinion.
Any MP that condoned the behaviour of the PO CEO should be investigated. Red, blue and yellow. Someone gave her a CBE...
Executives frightened of losing their jobs is the least of their worries. If they committed perjury, they'll be losing their liberty
They “lost the paperwork”.
In a perfect world yes, but they won't do a day in prison.
DavidMeikle-ei7fr you are quite right they should be jailed but I would not hold my breath on that , unless pressure is kept constantly on this scenario the Government and the PO along with their lawyers will try their utmost to slither out of any responsibility and try to protect their own , they have known about this for decades and took action only when it was becoming difficult to make it go away, totally corrupt and rotten to the core all of them.
@@JRBendixen of course they did , very careless of them , it almost amounts to a certainty that hundreds of documents and data will also have been lost , I would not bet one penny that any of the top management will see one day behind bars their slimy lawyers and the government will see to that.Just observe their displays of utter contempt for all the postmasters they have so grievously wronged , it's apparent already in the utterances of the communications chief , just a typical Post office slime ball.
I’m not so convinced that any of the establishment will face the consequences. At worst they will get suspended sentences.
An aspect I do not understand about this Post Office scandal is - how anyone can design, order and use a computer system that does not generate a paper audit trail - how else can auditors verify the accounts of any organisation without such a trail? Who was responsible for putting in a system that cannot be checked?
Our civilization is being deliberately failed from the inside
Also in my experience whenever a manual system was replaced by a computer system it was done on a gradual phasing in method, the computer system would be installed and would operate in tandem with the manual system for a trial period so that all teething troubles could be discovered and resolved. The computer system would only go fully live when it was certain that it was working properly. Was this done with Horizon???
@@AlunThomas-mp5qo Exactly!
II agree. I worked with IT systems since the 70s in conjunction with MOD & as IT evolved we avoided many of the bugs that occurred with the Horizon system because we worked alongside the programmers testing the system before each update was introduced. On many occasions real test info was set up & tested alongside existing systems to see if they produced identical results.@@AlunThomas-mp5qo
You are not the only one ;)
Very articulate and righteous rage. The potential further consequences of this for government could be enormous.
It’s time for them to go to jail just like the game of monopoly for a long time what they have done to the post office workers it’s absolutely disgusting I hope this is not going to be a white wash just like all the other cases in previous circumstances
Who put Vennels name forward for a CBE?
People get promoted to there level of incompetence
Richard Taylor is one of the execs at the PO that should be on trial and then face justice and meybe be forced to personally pay monies to the victims.
Nicki called him "A gentleman". He is the furthest thing from it. I hope he goes to prison for a long time
The use of simple common sense should have told them( Post Office management) that hundreds of respected postmasters don't suddenly turn into criminals, or were they so out of touch with their staff? For whatever reasons, this is a crime commited by The Post Office..and who's to say that it wasn't a premeditated 'plan' by them. Can they prove otherwise?
I feel they knew it was not working properly, but just swept it under the carpet
EXACTLY my sentiments!! I was Deputy Manager in a busy Post Office in the South East for many years & I helped train up to 15-20 staff when Horizon first came in and it was my job to balance all those tills in the office once a week & it was rare to find any till more than a few pounds short! I find it ludicrous that there could be 700 Postmasters suddenly taking £'1,000's... any one can see high up in the Post Office that its just impossible! I'm amazed its dragged on this long, the ones at the top should be ashamed of their incompetence & FULL compensation should be given to ALL those Postmasters affected!
So he is sorry for giving hurt and offense, sorry for SOME RESULTS of what was done rather than sorry for WHAT was done...How about apologising for damaging innocent people hugely by perpetrating lies and not telling the truth repeatedly.
I always get very confused as to where scum goes to, is it the top or bottom.
Scum rises to the top. The last 14 years of Government has shown us that.
Failure pays these days.
The establishment in this country now is utterly rotten.
Get some of these bullys in Prison.
Only apologise because he has been found out!!! Should be sacked with no pay 💰 out or pension £££ see how he likes lousing his house.
Worked for the Post Office many years ago and saw a culture of rewarding failure. If someone was incompetent, instead of sacking them their section would recommend promotion to get rid of them. Eventually they rise to the top.....
Dare to be a Daniel
Dare to stand alone
Dare to have a purpose firm
And dare to make it known❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent presentation.
The sad thing is, the management who were party to this cover up will walk away with parachute payments, bonuses' and full pensions.
Beautifully and articulately said.
Now for HMRC
'Not every Top Executive is innocent ' .......... more like - Turn up the heat
Why are these people entitled to massive bonuses and salaries when all they seem to do is fuck up.
How many will be charged? None. Its voting year. Make your vote count. Vote Reform. Time for change.
How do these corporate liars and cheats not get convicted themselves? Disgusting!
For a start, the Post Office needs to be stripped of its power to bring criminal prosecutions without involving the police or the CPS.
Who remembers that great Royal Mail management idea that cost a fortune (£500,000) and bought nothing but ridicule from everyone. If you said “Consignia” approved by non other than Stephen Byers then give yourself a pat on the back. The £500,000 only covered a “consultancy fee” and didn’t include all the other costs associated with the stupid idea which was then abandoned after five minutes.
The disgusting attitude of the Post Office hierarchy, and their minions that crucified these postmasters and postmistresses are a reflection of Westminster itself. Corrupt to the core and self-serving at the least.
Can someone please explain to me how the statistically impossible situation of so many post office managers all becoming dishonest all at the same time, happened, and went unnoticed. I'm not academic by any means, but probability lessons during maths sessions at a high school make this obvious to me. The whole scenario is ludicrous. If i had been involved in the prosecution of these good folk, i would hang my head in shame.
What is it with UK discussions, where an entire interview concludes without ANY explanation of the issue itself?
Bradshaw needs to be put on the block😮
Why do people still work for the post office
Close it down.
the public have the power to put there influence on the two political parties on election year in there support for the sub postmasters and how both parties have been disgraceful in this terrible injustice only mentioning this now since the television program
this scandal will bring the PO down....and so it should
Arrogance and lies in order to collect bonuses they weren’t entitled to
These executives are never sorry! They are only sorry because they have been found out.
Yes exactly they are sorry ,sorry that they got found out
Just remember one day sone he will be going to prison, and you will be getting a minim of at least one-million-pound compassion as a starting point that's what i would be demanding.
Let's Get the post office submasters to the run the post office, good honest ppl
The biggest miscarriage in British justice will be not prosecuting the Post Office Management and the Ministers who knew what was going on. Hopefully the people of this country will not allow that to happen.
Here is a question for you Talk TV........ Is the Post Office still using the same dodgy Fujitsu Horizons computer system? And are they still going after sub postmasters now?
TalkTV aren't journalists. They promote a political party that gave the PO CEO a CBE. Private Eye has real news.
That’s mostly the same for large cooperation.
Let's have another provider for post and see who people go to for mail delivery.
Our darts go out to you all affected by this and your families 🙏
The trouble is if someone was stealing, there is no way the post office can do anything now.
Would like to listen to those secret recordings. Where is the link?
Mr Taylor’s comments were either written by the legal department or his personal lawyer
We're here for you all liers prison sentence
Why are you showing a postbox? The Post office is nothing to do with Royal Mail.
I prepare a steak ala Joan, Jaques de Molay
Those incarceration need some time inside
.
The only way is prosicutil
ons and jail time for all
Hearts ❤️ 1:59
Brilliant interview use the victim,s more on your programs ,word are cheap from the so called management (one of many old saying ) live in an ivory tower’s so so true and so many more fit the bill

Definitely an Establishment problem. We need a significant number of the Establishment to be brought to justice and face jail.
