@TripsandFeasts1 4 месяца назад

It’s struck me that Paula Vennells is clearly under-qualified, incompetent & perhaps, on reflection, should not have been given the job that she did. Some have suggested that she got that job because she’s female & whoever gave her that job was as interested in being ‘politically correct’ as anything else. Whether being incompetent is illegal or not is enough to send her to jail remains to be seen. Time will tell. I also wonder if she and others, are feeling suicidal.

@PharmaTroll 4 месяца назад

@@oneoflokis Fujitsu is possible. Because much of the Money that disappeared was extracted under legal duress from the sub postmasters own savings. But the actual money stolen must be somewhere else. Otherwise both the money not stolen by the post masters and the money extracted from the postmasters would appear in the ledgers of the post office accounts. So the money must either have been stolen by Fujitsu employees who had access to the Horizon system or by someone within the post office accounts department who had access to Horizon.

Sadly I don't believe her. She is supposed to be an ordained minister but her actions show no real consideration or compassion to the subpostmasters/mistress who were wrongly accused. I have relatives who where in the post office, thankfully not at this time, and they would also have put all their own money into the system because they were good people like so many of these. She still has her pension, and no financial worries, but the post masters/mistresses don't. She will try to save her own skin - a human trait fair enough, but not one of a supposed ordained minister of the church - if the church is truly supposed to follow the TRUE spiritual teachings.
