      It’s unlikely anyone, perhaps a scapegoat will be sent to prison.
      The problem is even now, reams of evidence is being generated that a criminal court will have to spend years sifting through. A jury will have to be found that’s impartial, good luck with that with all the TV exposure and would they get a fair trial?
      They have to be able to be presumed innocent in a criminal court, then proven guilty with evidence.

    Let's not forget the crucial role of Cressida Dick in the judicial killing of Jean Charles de Menezes. She was incharge of the operation and authorised his killing. Yet a year later she was promoted to the role of Deputy Assistant Commissioner and later got the Queen's Police Medal in the 2010 New Year's Day honours. No matter how bad things turned out, her female lesbian status formed an ironclad shield against all criticism.

      Head of police of amsterdam worked before that in Rotterdam. In both cities he was responsible of ending 2 young mens lifes. The prosecutors, judges, politicians had to twist the narrative in such away the perpetrators could get away with it. One of them had 7 bullit entrees in his back. They said he attacked the police. With his back towards them.

    I'm not surprised by her evasion, denial, and buck passing, apparently, she was running the Post Office, yet conveniently, had no idea, what was going on. She's a Micro manager, constantly demanding updates, of everything, inside the company, yet now, was completely in the dark, very convenient, selective recollection. Tears? Yeah, maybe if you required, full repayment of her salary, and bonuses, from that period, as she, in her own words, was not fully in control, of the Post Office?

    It was similar in Ireland. A woman put in charge of the national TV service, RTE. She ran it into the ground, corruption and dishonesty at top level. At the government inquiry to examine the crisis, she failed to appear, submitting a doctors certificate on each occasion. It's so bad many are calling for the closure of RTE, which managed for decades before her appointment. Look at formerly top universities in the US with women appointed as presidents in recent 8years, standards sliding rapidly and resignations. Diversity appointments must be outlawed if we are to bring standards up again.

    I had wondered, given the mediocre impression she made at the enquiry, how Paula Vennels got to the top.
    As for Cressida Dick (strange name for a lesbian!) I assume she was considered the ideal person to be Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police because she was not just a woman and 'LGBTQ', but she had spent 4 years as the Head of the Force's Diversity Department. These days that is far more important experience to get on in the Met than years catching criminals.
    She was also in charge of the operation that shot dead an innocent Brazilian man at a London Underground Station some years ago in the mistaken belief that he was a suicide bomber. Still, that is far less important than Diversity.

    It will be very interesting to see her punishment if any at all. Everything will be done to keep her out of prison, because some Dr will say "she's too ill to go to prison" the "compensation is sufficient" and she has "shown great remorse" so therefore a female in charge of the Post Office at the time of the greatest miscarriage of justice in the history of the UK can be left out of the history books.

Thatcher’s government, massive cover up. people who just didnt or couldn’t be bothered to do their job right. a massive inquiry into the tragedy found all this out. sometimes the truth is all you get.

Diversity hires of any kind rarely, if ever, end well because that person is very rarely up to the job. To me it is obvious and perhaps diversity hiring is one of the main reasons why our public services and infrastructure fail so badly and we're experiencing "Broken Britain". People should be hired and promoted on the basis of their merits and ability to do the job. Nothing else matters.

      It may be that, but it may be biology too. Women are just natural criers. Can't really get rid of Mother Nature...caution putting these females in any and all positions where they're just not suited.

      How about Elizabeth I, Catherine The Great, Queen Dihya (a berber war leader of the late 7th century, who resisted the islamic conquest of Numidia. She defeated an invading Umayyad army and ruled for five years before the enemy returned with a stronger army and defeated her forces. She remains an important national figure in Algeria even today), Isabella of Castile, Amanirenas, who was queen of the Kushite kingdom, she ended Roman expansion south from Egypt, Empress Wu Zetian of China, Arwa al-Sulayhi who reigned in Yemen in her own right for 40 years (c1097/8-1138).
      Not all women are hapless as you imply. Neither are all men the bestest evah. Fred Goodwin springs to mind, or Gerald Ratner.

    I’ve got no experience of running a large organisation, in fact, I haven’t got a fuc…g clue. All I want is around £500’000 per annum plus plenty of time out of the office. Where can I sign up for a directorship?

    Bottom line is that CEO is the most common "occupation" for diagnosed psychopaths. Doctor is second😮!
    It's clearly not absolutely necessary to register highly on the psychopathy scale to successfully run a major commercial company, but it undoubtedly helps.
    Studies - such as they are - generally reckon only around 9% of psychopaths are female.

    All that matters in big business is that the right boxes are ticked. This is why none of these organisations are as good as they once were and our regard and respect for them is in the bin.

    Vennels: "How do I do that?"

    Vennells should have ALL of her assets stripped and put into the compensation pot.
    No public money should go too compensation, this should all come from asset stripping of all the totally inept management and the computer company who built the system.
    It also beggars belief that 40 years of government didn’t pick up on this debacle.
    Arse and elbow come to mind over all involved in this!

    Don't forget Lyn Homer, head of HMRC. Under her watch the organisation couldn't even answer routine telephone enquiries within acceptable timeframes. Very capable of trotting out the lamest of excuses whenever challenged by Parliamentary committees and Margaret Hodge must have been sick of the sight of her.
