- Alice Perkins picked apart by Edward Henry Post Office Inquiry KC and Ms Perkins is not happy and says she is offended by the questions.
Well imagine how offended the SPMRs were when she was locking them up and by worshipping a False God called Horizon claiming it was infallible.
There was a rather rancid smell about the Post Office at the time and Alice Perkins here says I didn't know, I wasn't told, I didn't understand, blah, blah, blah.
Well, they all do now and some are likely end up in one of His Majesty's hotels.

This person is wildly unhelpful, arrogant, smug and combative, in spite of overwhelming evidence of, at best, breathtaking ineptitude.
That's how they get the jobs in the beginning ! smooth , say nothing unless asked , embellish your attributes even though they may not exist . Reference people you know , establishments you are a member of . it's all part of the network .

You are right.
Nothing to do with competency, but rather just being pals with the right people.
We, the public have paid out many, many millions to these greedy people, whilst they swan around doing nothing, but persecute innocent people, wrecking their lives, and their whole families.
They are evil in both their intent, and their actions.
Sadly, all too many corporations (both public and private); adopt these type of attitudes. I’d say more often than not, these attitudes and ways of working are deeply embedded and few question it. Those who do are frequently managed out.
Indeed - the Rt Hon Jack Straw's missus. The political ruling class exposed in their arrogance
I wonder if she’s involved with the church.
She does not seem to recognise or show any remorse for the terrible suffering she has been responsible for.
That’s because she doesn’t ! A despicable woman.
she is the most arrogant entitled witness yet - even worse than Vennells
Much worse, and that's not easy! She is a shameless, calculating witch.
I don't agree. I think she handled herself very professionally. And on quite a few occasions had the questioner reeling because the attempted claims were clearly theatrical.
@@1949cr be interesting which of our views of her Wynn Williams takes. To me, Andrew Parsons equalled her for vileness - but he's rich and well connected, he'll ride it out. G Jenkins must be terrified, he's going to get hung, drawn and quartered and,I predict, charged with perjury/pervert course justice
@@1949cr Hi Alice
@@richardwheatley5979 hi Ferdinand Esterhazy. Look it up. You might see yourself.
How could she “forget” key documents, that were of clear importance. Her air of pompousness and the “I’m better than you” attitude was utterly astounding. “We’ve talked about it, I’m not willing to discuss it further” I just can’t believe her attitude to the whole situation, if she carried on in a court like that, surely been given a warning.
Forgetting her documents speaks volumes.
Yeah sure. Ten years ago.
Deliberately, to put Mr Henry on the back foot. Failed.
@@malcolmr9340 no. He was actually rattled twice. She played him beautifully and he knew it.
Oh come on, she didn’t “forget” the documents at all. It’s a delay tactic. Didn’t work.
@@1949cr Lol, right 😂
Jo Hamilton sits there, so calm but staring these bloody liars out...
Exactly. But alice perkins is to what boris johnson and dumpster is to truth.
She knows what is coming sometimes and she smirks just a little bit. Then you know the hammer is about to drop on the witness.
Or Starmer who said Corbyn would make a great PM
Lying twat
I hope Jo and the others get a huge payout.
Jo and otherss need at least £30 million each and an apology from the King in Buckingham Palace.
She’s a liar and a delinquent. Got the job with zero experience of such a high position. A classic case of someone riding the gravy train all their working life , being over promoted well above her capabilities. Corrupt to the core and should go to prison for her sins
It seems a lot of the PO snr managers are the from the same background. The PO HR team for this period have a lot to answer for.
Can not believe what she says!!! All lies
It's almost like these people were selected for purpose , why would one employ such people of dubious caricature ,qualification and lake of experience to such positions .
I must say I totally agree with you.
Describes Paula Vennels too
I don’t care if you find things offensive! I find it offensive that you don’t care about the lies you and your whole team have perpetuated! You wouldn’t know the truth if it hit you in the face - oops, it is now! 🤦♂️
She is revolting
She really is!
especially considering the prep and briefing she must have done for this appearance. If this is as personable as she can protray she must be a betch to work for.
Absolutely disgusting.
She is prevaricating and unbelievable as a witness, and shows no sympathy for the horrendous way that Post Office victims were treated. I sat and wept with a friend, who lost her job and was prosecuted when she had done nothing wrong. She is a single mother with a teenage daughter, who struggled to provide for themselves. Her daughter had to work at weekends to help them survive.
"Prevaricating" is too kind. The bag is lying in her teeth.
My pal was working for James Arbuthnot during all of this. She says that they (all of POL) sat across the desk, looked us in the eye and LIED
I have watched a lot of this enquiry and she is by far the most arrogant, nasty, entitled, unpleasant witness so far. And that takes some doing.
@debbiejames3096 Totally agree. She’s offensive. And I hope she reads all these comments.
@@margaretfyffe7252she won't she's got a real talent for willful blindness.
I disagree. Of all of the witnesses she parried many performative attempts by the lawyer and you could see he was rattled on occasion. Basically this witness pissed on a lot of the theatrics of the lawyer.
Alice Perkins is a mendacious and pathetic witness.
It is easy to tell when she is lying: when her lips are moving.
@@1949cr Nope.
Ms Perkins seems to have been well coached by her ex solicitor and ex MP and ex minister no less , but Mr Edward Henry KC exposed her shortcomings in her stewardship of the disgraced POL.
She is intelligent, smart and confident in her position and able to stand her ground. What is so sad and shocking is her intransigence in failing to take any responsibility for what happened to the postmasters as a direct impact of the board’s actions. She does seem to be not affected by the impact of the actions of the board and its ramifications on the real lives of the postmasters.
She really is the most unpleasant, pompous, and obnoxious person to have appeared at this hearing
So far!
Just think about this - She is a consultant and lecturer on corporate governance. Does she show her clients how to set their businesses up so they end up with a liability close to the thick end of HALF A BILLION POUNDS and the possibility of doing time for perverting the course of justice? She took the cash, she needs to do some time.
But she won't arrogant entitled women like her dont
Love Edward ‘ Rottweiler’ Henry. Jason Beer opens the gates, and lets out the hound.
Morally bankrupt Alice Perkins is a woman of straw.
yeah, of Jack Straw
@@brianlopez8855 …and certainly morally bankrupt !
No doubt we’ll soon see Peter Gabriel suing senior Post Office people, for repeatedly using the lyrics from his 1980s song “I don’t remember, I don’t recall, I don’t know anything at all” without paying him a penny in royalties
OMG this is the biggest case of arse covering i have ever seen . Which is polite words for LYING COW.
She’s riddled with contempt for all in front of her ….odious
Despite her education and privaleged lifestyle the core of this woman is deceit
She really is appalling isn’t she?
Of course she's offended, she's highly offensive.
I love the way Jo Hamilton always looks the wicked POL witness in the face.
Husband is a war criminal, she's a post office criminal. Son caught drug dealing.
What a family.
Cue the piano piece in the Addams family..
Their Son is a drug dealer too, but Only got a caution while daddy was home secretary
Some things just run in families
Disgusting woman
And her brother was convicted of a s@xual assault with a concrete d1ldo
She's a real vinegar tits.
She is NOT Miss Perkins, she is Mrs Jack Straw!
"Fancy a job running the Post Office?"
"I don't know anything about the Post Office."
"Doesn't matter, turn up two days a week, drink tea and eat biscuits, pick up your salary and bonus, and come home!"
What a surprise! More corruption in the Labour party
Lady Straw actually
She blames the lack of expertise on the board. However she picked the non executive members and chose not to have anyone expert on software, and remarkably, no lawyers to advise the board on one of the most complex and extensive computer systems and extensive civil and criminal litigation.
Didn't the PO have an in-house legal team which ran the prosecutions against postmasters/ postmistresses?
"I am not saying that I didn't see it and we discussed this yesterday" That is about as helpful as she got.
Forgot the hard copy? What a lightweight ‘executive’! Incompetent and hopefully not getting her pension for being so.
This lady will not enjoy a women's prison one little bit with her attitude.
She might visit someone in a women's prison but she will never be sentenced.
She will never go to prison she's goverment owned
This is Jack Straw's wife.... ex-ministers wives only go to prison after a revolution
The major problem is that to fully understand what is actually happening in this inquiry you need to watch all of the inquiry to be able to detect the threads that make up this tangled web of lies. In some cases, you need to watch a person's testimony several, or more, times to really get to the scope and range that the questioners questions are actually reaching and revealing.
People like Jarnail Singh is a perfect example, you need to have watched all the times he has testified, twice in 2023 and his latest debacle in 2024 to see how corrupted a person he actually is. Then when you hear his name being used by his partners in crime you will see how deep the rot went.
Your average person doesn't have the time to do this or more likely the stomach to listen to these appalling individuals more than once.
If at the end of this inquiry nobody is charged and given their much-deserved day in court this will have been an enormous waste of public money.
I am not holding my breath on any court cases other than for the POL's chosen sacrificial offering, Gareth Jenkins, ever happening.
She knew or knows more than people think...
Are you telling me she knew little...
Does that mean she walked about with a sack over her head whilst at PO.
One gets the clear impression she's sweeping actions under the rug.
Christopher Columbus, how do people like this get so many top jobs? Got to be who they know, not what they are capable of?
I sincerely hope that justice is served against those responsible for the misery they have caused!
Common Purpose, who control everything and run the country on behalf of the WEF.
the post office is really a collection of little shops each run with its own manager and a few staff ! my question is why does it need a board, of upper crust useless toffs, a whole bunch of super paid staff, a legal team, solicitors and hench men ?
Very good question.
It's a franchise like big restaurant chains (KFC maybe?) which are supervised centrally.
But why are there all these toffs awarded these top positions?
@@barbarajones9385 Because they know how to appear knowledgeable. They demand others respect their status and don't challenge them as they are the ones in charge.
Quite clearly this witness resents being questioned and being asked or told to account for herself.
A nation-wide malaise - snooty folk given high office; in place to cream off huge salaries, be awarded with honours, elude the law when things break down.
Either highly incompetent or worse; given the upshot of ruining hundreds of lives, there surely needs to be a criminal trial.
The arrogance is staggering.
Wicked, Wicked woman....😮😮😮😮
I find these sort worse than the 'traditional thieves and criminals'' who probably have more integrity than she has ever had. Self entitlement.
Well she has admitted that she did not read the Deloitte report. Total negligence.
She will be safely found "not fit to stand trial" when the CPS finally get around to charging anyone. She will be practising her; "Who am I again, I can't remember ?" in front of the bathroom mirror every morning, from now on.
Well done Mr Henry, you did not succumb to her 'intentional' mind games. She was made to look very insincere & dishonest.
Ron Warrington blew her testimony clean out of the water with his evidence today !
Jack Straw her husband caught out on camera asking for cash for collections by undercover reporters.
Husband.. you mean the sycophant that competes with her cats?
I guess Susan knew too much.
Susan picked second sight to get to the bottom of it all.
So, out of the building, out of the meetings..?
Yes. I'm picking that she will probably get a deal to be a witness for litigants when they break her NDA. NDA don't stand if they are used to keep a witness quiet
"I am a truthful person". Sure you are, Mrs. Straw.
She doesn't seem to have anything useful to offer a business (can't figure anything out, flakey memory, etc) . Lucky she had a high-profile husband.
Sadly she seems a little smarter than him.
She's also better at deflecting and filibustering.
Horrible woman.
I agree. She seems better prepared than him.
I wish Henry could have cross examined her in a law court rather under inquiry rules which mean he has to hold back.
Really ? I think he's doing a great job of exposing her as a bare faced liar and a vile old trout
Not smarter , more adept at telling lies
@@andreamoffat3095 She has that total arrogance when her views are challenged that what she is saying must be true by the very fact that SHE is saying it and she is a truthful person - and we know that because SHE has said so! It reminds me of the old saying that if someone tells you their word is their bond - take their bond !
A crumbling witness in the face of intense scrutiny .The arrogance is breathtaking .
Paula Vennels talked about an inbalance of power and here is a clear example.
Jo Hamilton’s stare at AP when she answers questions says it all.
An utterly revolting obnoxious witness. I hope the inquiry sees through it. She forgot the documents... I guess that is how she ran the post office.
Super injunction for reporting her son caught selling drugs - now CEO for the King's trust.
Got to look after her boy not concerned at all about poor Mrs Misra
The Establishment Shall Always Protect Its Own.
Oh my word, the flotation just happened to be running alongside this period of deliberate obfuscation!
"I'm offended". Good of her to tell us that though. Changes fuck all.
Neglects hard copy speaks volumes has too her integrity 🤔
when she said a group of people who had good values I almost choked with my coffee.
Family of criminals that feel they are abovebthe law
Yet another privileged and arrogant PO manager that is Cleary complicit in withholding critical information that prolonged the suffering of the SPM. I am convinced that this miscarriage of justice should warrant a criminal case and certainly hope that both financial and custodial penalties are eventually given.
If there are not severe custodial sentences, not suspended. it will prove what a corrupt country UK really is. And make them pay for their HMP board and lodgings.
@@user-ts2be3mw1z Agreed
There needs to be an official inquiry into what her hairdresser was thinking.
I've been watching clips from several of the inquiry's testimonies, and her lies make me the most angry.
The arrogance of that woman 😡
She can’t explain why Susan must be gone before the next meeting. Just waffles on hoping people will drift off.
She was basically careful not to remember anything incriminating but the written evidence itself is incriminating, with or without her memory.
It's amazing how calm and collected she is and so well trained to feign off any question... these people were paid so much and did an easy job of filling their pockets
Just another example of people with great responsibility and pay saying they had no responsibility but took the pay. We knew nothing and took no interest in the major goings on in the business we left that to everyone else on lower pay to take that responsibility. People at the top need to start going to prison they got paid the money and need to take responsibility. Unless this happens people at the top will continue to allow criminal behaviour as long as they think it can be denied later
I bet she can remember all the bonus payments she received over the years
They'd all be found on her annual tax returns...which unfortunately always got lost in the post.
Cant wait till shes in an actual court. Her self serving answer wont be allowed to go on and on. Keep her to yes no answers.
Accumulating all that evidence must have been a bloody nightmare
Maybe Fujitsi wrote software to manage the collation !
Thank you Mr Henry KC. Listening to this witness engage in crafting her answers reminded me of the expression of a person who engages in what Churchill described as "terminological inexactidtudes" can't even lie straight in bed!!! I truly hope that sooner than later these POL decision makers are Personally and professionslly held to account by being themselves charged with criminal offences.
She opens her mouth...and lies!
Dreadful woman who was paid loads of our money and flittered about being the big I AM but doing nothing.
Now,it's difficult to like or respect this witness.
Funny how she remembers things with absolute clarity (like the non-executive’s breakfast)
Liars, all of them!
She ate the non-executives for breakfast, on buttered toast with vintage marmalade.
These are the kind of people our parents warned us about and never get involved with as they will stab you in the back when it was them that robbed the bank.
At least she has shown us she needs to go to jail.
Considering the abandonment, exclusion, hounding, and undeserved vilification SPMRs and their immediate families were subjected to, I would certainly not want to speak to, associate with, or otherwise engage with any of these current or former PO ‘senior persons’. I would not want to be associated with them in any way, shape, or form… despicable creatures 😔
Jo Hamilton. If looks could kill!
Go Mr Henry go get her told she is only truthful when she is Asleep Look who she is married to another untruthful person they will rub off together Mr Straw
What a piece of work!
She is culpable like the rest of them .
A liar with a very poor memory or a complete incompetent albeit an eloquent one that also comes across as obnoxious. As do most of the other management of the post office. I sincerely hope that once this enquiry is finished the police are contacted in and these people brought to justice.
I love the way that Jo Hamilton stares these people out. Her contempt bores into them.
Jo Hamilton's face says it all
Good for Joe watching those witches squirm and squirm and squirm again
This is all so boring for her. She didnt know what happened to post office after she left. This woman is a bully, liar and is responsible for all during her tenure
When people tell you as she did “I am an honest person”, sure sign of someone lying. Honest people don’t tell you they are honest.
Well said.
This is the kind of KC id like to see questioning and cross examining greedy and manipulative Freeholders responsible for the National Leasehold Scandal
She is well instructed as a Senior Politicians wife, " dont know, thats not what i remember, no one told me , weren't me guvnor"
Another Academy Award performance of goody-two-shoes Alice Perkins. She knew very well what she was doing and damn the consequences to the subpostmasters.
“I don’t want bad news that is not properly evidenced”. Sounds perfectly reasonable until you realise the ethical responsibility of the board. Perkins’ sickly sweet voice hides her absence of acknowledgement of her immense responsibility for this cruel debacle.
Not one of those at the top seemed to be doing the job that they were paid for in a princely sum by the post office. Scandalous and unethical. The poor sub postmasters had no chance against an evil person like her. How Sir Alan Bates managed to persevere for so long and how difficult it must have been for him is indescribable. To think that the Post Office Lawyers threatened to Bankrupt the Forensic Insurance Company who had spotted the fraud if they released the report that the Post Office theirselves had commissioned them to do the report from the start. Fraud and falsifying the accounts as well as lying on oath should just be the start with charging them in the high Court. But being the wife of a MP she will get away with it no doubt.
She is offended! How are those sub postmasters feeling, I suggest a little more than offended. What utter arrogance these people are showing.
Many sub-postmasters are feeling they were imprisoned....... wrongly and based upon cooked-books by the Post Office
This interrogator needs to dig in. All this is too polite. 4 people died. Leaders pretend they are all innocent. Get in there!
She should be sent to a court of law for gross negligence in her position.
Every single Post Office employee who has been in the witness stand has wriggled and wriggled and simply not answered in a straight forward honest manner!
Intelligent and cunning liar. If Alice feels offended, how does she think the post office workers feel? Jailed, fined, and even committing suicide?
If the board had no interest in the sub Post Masters then did they have any interest in the rest of the business besides their pay packages.
How convenient, any awkward questions about what was said or written and they cant remember or recall it.
If it's in writing that excuse won't wash in an actual court. The preponderance of the evidence is completely against her.
ha ha ha - 'we wanted to wait until the person who had the most insight to give us about how we crapped things up was gone - before we looked at lessons learned.' THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN! You need them there to talk about how they contributed to getting things wrong. It would be like doing a review of Horizon and the PO by waiting until they all died and then we started to investigate.
They should name a pub after this thing, “The Lying Cow.”
If this goes to civil litigation then her excuses about not understanding or not reading wont wash. Her position as chair will hold her responsble. Hope shes bankrupted.
Obviously coached !
There are many statute laws, particularly in finance acts, the words “ought to know”. These executives denying knowledge Ought to have Known. That means they MUST inquire of the facts from their subordinates as they are responsible for any misdemeanours. Ignorance of facts is not acceptable.
Mrs Jack Straw? the Labour politician's wife!? Surely not.🤔🙄
Oh yes!! Google her !!
Credit must be given and noted to the researchers within the offices of the KC’s to obtain the vast information available.👏👏
I am on oath and I am a truthful person
.....Said all at Neuremberg,....and only following orders...
Ho hum.
I burst out laughing at that point!
