Post Office Inquiry: Chairman intervenes as public gallery scoffs 

Yes well said

Hand back mbe

You sure she ain't got a get out of jail card? How many hotels she got?

She collected far more than £200 during her time at the Post Office: £5.1 million in fact during six years. She certainly should go to jail.

I think you mean do not collect 5.6 million wasn’t that how much she got during her tenure? I wish I could get half that. I guess CEOs get big payments because they are corporate fall guys. Part of the deal the unwritten contract

Sewing mailbags!

Along with many others!! She wasn't the only one!

Yes Yes yes

AND THE MEN BEHIND THIS CORPORATE PUPPET

Another unqualified, dithering woman, in a position she should NEVER have held. Just like that idiot who used to run the CAA. Why do we have women above the glass ceiling, if they cannot do the job? R

It says a great deal about the country & its people.

​@@billsmith-hl8rklet's remember the establishment gave her an OBE.

Systems of legal criminals" in office.. !!!

Announced this week it'll be ten years at least before there may be prosecutions over Grenfell. Unbelievable.

Then, when the dust has settled, they usually walk into massively overpaid jobs somewhere else. That is the way of things in the UK. "Lying bully, with no conscience or empathy? You are just what this business is looking for. Welcome to the company".

I did!

She should have been escorted to a police van in handcuffs, not put in a taxi!!

Give that woman who's shouting at Vennells a CBE, I say. I believe there's one spare at the moment.....

Yesss give that woman who shouted out at PV a CBE hope PV going to give all her Bonus she's been paid back , and relinquish her Pension she needs Jail time , 😢

Big up to the heckler ..PV is an evil POS ...get her bonuses back and shared between the SPM in addition to their compensation.

They are accountable to hmrc, police and courts but none have acted on this fraud

She on a fat pension plan & she knows the Tories boys.😮 😮MONEY making GREED CRISIS not a LIVING Crisis Worldwide. 😢 " De-MOCK-arcy " All just for the Fianacal Gains for the GREED and Egos that kills humanity. Our past history is the proof of civilisations destroyed. Leaders? Talk is cheap. 😢 Your bellies are full & Your homes are warm. Your Bank balance are full. You don't listen to your soul that crys every morning to correct your self, but instead you please the darkness of your corruption. 😮😮😢😢😢

As I read elsewhere, women like her want the authority of a man, combined with the privilege of a woman and the responsibility of a child.

After seeing the responses from Tory ministers at the Covid enquiry, "I don't remember" has become part of the linguistic landscape for the guilty.

Well put!

She will be bishop of London

Wilfully forgetting…

"Conscious decisions" seem to be few and far between!

Yes I totally agree but she will never go to jail and loss her millions of ill gotten gains ( but this is England ) fair play to everyone 🙏🏻

And she is a vicar or something? Ideally, she should be trustworthy and use the same moral principles in her own life that she preaches to the rest of us. Like all overly religious people, she is in it for the power and elevated social status.

@@Skygrey2943 She is only an Anglican female priest, therefore has no status in Biblical Christianity.

I wish she would also name and blame the other individuals involved in this too.

No matter what excuses she's been giving and denying, her inappropriate actions have been put in writing by herself. No one else to blame but despite the evidences coming out, she's still denying, cannot recall and blaming the team around her.

She still doen't care. The only person she cares for, is herself.

Full stop ;-)

Isn't she quite grandiose/self-entitled! Doesn't believe she's responsible. A narcissist dare I say?

​@@Haberdashery22 Quite possibly, there's an abundance of them in top corporate jobs.

@@dorothyblair6741 Agree. This is my understanding also.

I fully agree with that lady! 😁

Marvellous piece of video editing to show her getting in the car, oh it just happened to contain the shouts from the bystander … I think it sums up a growing common belief about her . The court of public opinion seems ready to pass judgement. Now the CPS better sharpen their pencils and consider carefully what charges they will bring. If they bungle this they too will get tarred with the same brush.

Think she spoke for all of us!

I am Jamaican and just loved the way that English lady towards the end just let out " Satan be gone !" Further shouting, "YOU DISGUST US !". This was like me sitting at home watching an epic movie drama !!!!

@@user-vb6rj4wq5ethanks! I’m pleased to say I was born in Ireland so don’t have so much the ‘stiff upper lip’. I primal screamed for all of the postmasters but especially in honour of Jess.

Oh boy, the same disease as in the Netherlands when high ranking civil servants are questioned under oath. Here in the Netherlands we had the so called "Toeslagenaffaire (Benefits affair)". Even our prime minister mr. Mark Rutte has had this very specific form of amnesia. And all of the actors are always very, very sorry about wat happened to the victims ...

Contemptible woman.

Especially when the evidence proves the exact opposite, that she was commanding this approach.

And throw in a few tears for good measure, the old I was going through a lot at the time clause 🙄

@@jfkoetse The "I can't recall" defence is cutting very little ice in this case as there's an avalanche of proof that senior management of the Post Office and their hired thugs manufactured evidence to have innocent people falsely convicted of embezzlement then repeatedly perjured themselves before the courts and a parliamentary committee. If Vennels and her lackeys don't get prison time for this then the entire British justice system will be brought into disrepute.

I’m watching from the United States and I don’t believe her either! I’m hoping justice is served but if it goes the way things do here there is little hope of seeing anyone serve jail time. Rules for thee but not for me.

You’re quite right, she’s an utter disgrace

‘All guidance was followed’

She remembers everything but the time remote access was uncovered and still said it was not possible

Probably too busy reading the Beano and making tea and toast (for herself).

Yeah I was thinking earlier that I would live to shout 'Burn the Witch' at her but that young lady excelled.

The Reverend Venal

Alright Lynn. I'm not joining your baptist church.

@@benwilson6145 worse she was shortlised to become a bishop, find upstanding christian wormen - not!!!!

it is interesting how her race and or religion hasnt been mentioned .....imagine if that was a Muslim man named Mohamed

And as is often the case, this time it was a member of the church

Bide your time!!

Will be if they can tie it to an offence, e.g. perjury

More people not doing their jobs, police, courts, mp's. The reason is too many fail at their job responsibilities and just leave when it fails without re-dress. Needs to be changed by goverment.

Crocodile tears for the Post Sub-masters. Real tears for herself because she`s been caught out by the truth.

"Satan be gone". To be fair, I think old Lucifier would have been a lot fairer on the sub-postmasters

Typical over promoted Diversity Hire with Shoulder Pads. NHS Trusts and Local Councils are FULL of these "Paulas".

I think she went to the George Costanza school of management

She typifies the fact that people who are felt to be ‘one of us’ and a ‘safe pair of hands’ are appointed by the private school and Oxbridge elites to nice juicy sinecures in quango’s all over the nation

I would not trust her with a teapot.

@@localreviewking134 A chocolate teapot would be more useful too !

They do know the difference between right and wrong very well. They just don’t (have to) care about it.

@@lisasei-leise287 I genuinely think they don't. They see only their own needs.

They absolutely know. You just have to see the picture of Rupert Murdoch reading Rutger Bregman’s book to realise how calculatingly nefarious these people are.

@@Hartley_Hare That’s an interesting take and it boils down to the definition of “to know”. There’s the right and wrong that is done to oneself and the right and wrong one does to other people. I’m convinced that these people have a thorough idea of the wrong done to themselves but they don’t (have to) care about or understand what they are doing to other people. (Maybe this makes it easier to consider themselves Christian, too.)

@@lisasei-leise287 I genuinely think they succeed because they're amoral and are wholly lacking in any kind of understanding of the limitations which ordinary people live within - morality is one word, for that, I suppose, or decency, perhaps. They camouflage it well, purely because they know that to be open about their outlook would invite censure. This means they take cues from others about what can be expressed, and how, without thinking about changing their behaviour or gaining any insight into themselves. Having worked with some of these people for a fairly heavyweight company, they're superficially charming, but absolutely unsettling.

She even doesn't remember not remembering.

She should remember all the families affected

I was starting to think, she’s probably got dementia.

Straight from the HRC book of how not to answer questions.

Selective memory

Banking Envelopes of Our cash

Getting paid well? 216 times the wages of one postie?

It's worse. These people must know the difference between right and wrong in order to corrupt it.

Oh they know right from wrong, they just don't give a s##t.

Because she’s on trial and hasn’t (yet) been found culpable, but I’ll be as disgusted and disillusioned with the British justice system as you will if she doesn’t get a lengthy prison sentence. She seems to be claiming ignorance at every turn and turning on the waterworks when it suits her but, last I heard, neither ignorance nor crying are a defence in UK law.

Calling someone a criminal before they're convicted of something could actually help to get them found not guilty.

Shes from the right society , she will be looked after . .. The same with Grenfell Inquiry , There are people responsible for the Deaths on that night and they were also pardoned , and slip away without justice being dealt . Just because they are from the right society .. But if it was a normal person they would be in court and in jail ,

@@K1lostream You are right, but it will take years for her to be put on trial.

Because "elites"don't do prison time,they get elevated to The Lords,or end up with cushy jobs with companies whose products they promoted. The supposed covid inquiry is a prime example. Look where Witty,Van Tam and Valance have ended up.Fat salaries from pharma companies,and the benevolence of Uncle Bill.

She may as well have said that… “I had a responsibility to the board”…. Nothing about a responsibility to the employees and the people they’ve sent to prison. Evil woman.

She probably was from her zionist accountants and solicitors.

Do not be surprised that we hear soon she's taken her own life, go read the Markus Joost/Ikea case in South Africa, the day he was to be arrested for the financial fraud he committed at Ikea he shot himself,

That would be one evil person less in that case. An eye for an eye....

@@Ex-expat yes agree 👍💯

We’re not Americans. Let’s exercise a little decorum.

​@@travelwell6049and let's not expect any from people like her. Let' s exercise the respect and decorum that this priest has never shown towards others. There is a limit to what even simple citizens like ourselves can accept otherwise they will get away with everything and will laugh at our decorum. (as I think they already do)

Thanks. I was honestly scared that they could have arrested me, but one of the PostMasters said they would have protected me if they had tried.

i think her strategy at the post office & afterwards & this week is to exasperate those trying to hold her to account. that's not being flippant, either - i think it's a quite conscious technique on her part. considering the power she sought over others, it's incredibly abusive, too

there was a great example of this yesterday. several months prior to the inquiry she was asked to reflect on what she could have done differently. she submitted two witness statements to the inquiry - total about 800 pages, but avoided addressing this question, instead suggesting this info could be got out of her during her testimony. it was yesterday, 42 minutes into the official feed. the kc refers her to page 774, paragraph 1800, if you can find a transcript. she says she's 'keen' to answer these questions about what she would have differently ... when i give my evidence to the inquiry - on page 774 of her statement! there's something really, really broken in her head

I'm surprised you remember being banned.

@@adenwellsmith6908 The hospital sent me a letter with Big letters..... And something about a picture of my liver 🤷🏼‍♀️ it was just after Steve Bradshaw

Deadliest drinking game you could play! 😂

If she needs "protection" then she should have to pay for private security. It shows how connected she is - I am afraid that she won't ever face the consequences for her actions because of how connected she is.

She probably freaking needs it. God.only knows what all the people she's harmed would like to do to her in return. Personally, I hope she spends a long and healthy time in prison.

You qualify for pol ceo

I've known plenty of CEO's in far less "prestigious" positions- all have either excellent memories or make sure to keep notes, especially when it relates to legal proceedings of the business they are in charge of. This isn't some matter of personal virtue- it's practically a necessity if you're an earnest businessperson. Anyone who truly couldn't recall this much from their tenure in a role is, as you say, grossly incompetent, but I think we all know she wasn't *that* incompetent, just truly malicious and self-serving.

their lawyers tell them to plead innocence

They’re “specially selected “ for this Scum of the earth feature!

They have chauffeurs.

@@lat1419 and have the money 🤑💰 to get personal lawyers to tell them what to say,and they get told play amnesia

😢Becoming Kings, the weak mortals wields their royal authority, By oppressing the people, they gather wealth. As they gather & collect it, they fill their empty souls, "for what & who?" You ask? 😢Only to indulge in their pride & egotism, they crumble down & dissolve, as their weak heroes of the past. 😮Being fearless, they become unrestrain & raise their armies, Only to rob the oppressed, while delighting their minds for GREED & Power. 😢Then when their breath leaves them, they turn to ashes, as being engrossed in attachment & GREED the blind fools fades away to death. 😢Their Enjoyments & pleasures are like a past dream. 😮😮😮😢😢😢

Precisely. So how could anyone on such panels be trusted to get the true measure of any candidate?

it's a demon

yes i noticed that immediately , very telling , she had a look of disdain on her face.- The real paula vennels in that one momemt

​@@johnmcfarlane748 I thought it was a flash of anger.

@@lat1419 I agree - she is definitely not used to being called out or "disrespected" like that. When she fled in the back of the cab at the end of the day I bet she burst into tears. "How dare people treat me like that!" I hope that it gets much worse for her.

Contempt for the little people

She’ll bunk off abroad.

It would something like “house arrest” where she gets to live a normal life in the comfort of her own home.

@@adrianrose7703 On the same flight to Santa Monica as the Sunak family . . . in the hot, sunny summertime . . . just in time to settle in before the new school year starts?

Paula Venereal Disease.

Yep, they know the difference and they emphatically choose wrong. Junkies stealing aftershave to pay for a hit can get jail-time, yet these sickening people cause real damage to countless lives and get away with a public telling off.

And she will get away with it.

She was hired for diversity reasons

thanks!

She Should Be Jailed For Perjury, and Manslaughter . Be this is very unlikely that this will ever happen! They all stick together

There is no justice system in this country but rather a legal system. However. If no justice; then vengeance.

Same here 🙏🏻

# Corperations

I pray they can find some relief soon. It was heartbreaking to hear them say they just wanted their money back. She is Evil

Because we want to see her lying and tripping herself up and squirming in her seat as she faces her culpability. I know to some degree she probably still believes she is above the law but I hope she is scared and ridden with guilty

Was I think, not anymore

And was being considered for bishop of London?

Corruption

"We know they are lying. They know they are lying. They know that we know they are lying. We know that they know that we know they are lying. And still they continue to lie." -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

It isn't a valid response. They are paid to know. And pleading ignorance is no excuse.

It's not a medical condition if you fake it.
