    Indeed. The authorities will be crawling all over her answers, but as a layman, I am finding it difficult to pinpoint anywhere where she incriminated herself. Perhaps this wasn't the right time or vehicle to do this.

    There needs to be blood-letting. Even if she did apologise 6 times, and cried 4 times.

    [News] Post Office Scandal -

    One commentator said there wasn't a defining 'gotcha' moment. But for her to claim that from 2007 to 2013, she didn't know that the Post Office carried out its own prosecutions with 100 dedicated staff, and that there were no bugs in Horizon, is beyond absurd. If by some divine miracle of...

However, if you are wondering whether it would have...

    The Post Office reputation is irreparably damaged. It is now a toxic combination of public sector incompetence, malevolence and whopping bonuses funded by taxpayers. I can see a multi million pound rebranding exercise coming. Welcome to Rapido. A new, fresh network of hubs - sustainable...

    Thanks for posting this link. It's far from a waste of time. It's a 15 minute read, and if anyone hasn't read it already, I thoroughly recommend it. It's quite, quite extraordinary. Within it, there is a link to a video of the two days that Mr. Singh was being questioned for ten hours...
