Stupid stuck up bitch , thought she could hide behind her dog collar.

I see that she's handing her CBE back following a petition but that's no consolation for the poor sub postmasters wrongly accused and found guilty.   
I'd only picked up snippets of this story in the past and hadn't realised that it was such a large scale miscarriage of justice. I feel genuine anger towards the Post Office for blatantly lying to cover their incompetence and failing to see a significance of such a large amount of accountancy inaccuracies.

Wonder if she'll give her 5 mill PO leaving handout back too!

Of course she will, as you or I would, Ron.

but why has it taken 20 years & a 4 part mini series on telly for anyone in gov to do anything about it? There was a Panorama episode about some years ago detailing most of Mr Allan Bates vs The PO

Funnily enough, she didn't mention that.

When we lived in Croydon back in the eighties our next door neighbour was head of personnel for the post office, he took great delight in making workers redundant used to laugh about it , he is now riddled with the big C & has a miserable existence, what goes around comes around.

The Panorama account was on YouTube over three years ago.    As you say, it's taken a mini series to bring it to the forefront.

It shows how wrong the British legal system gets things quite often 

Hopefully a proper investigation NOW will name and shame ALL those involved in the cover up and injustice

I really had no idea how long this disgraceful miscarriage had been dragging on for, the blatant lies that were told about a system that was obviously not fit for purpose,  I hope that the people affected get the justice they deserve .

[Sir Tigger KC]

I find it astonishing that it went on for so long, 15 years or so I think, and apparently no one at the Post Office thought it strange that there were so many Post Masters with their hand in the till.

And, on the flip side, those who pushed to have them jailed, despite knowing the system was wrong, get their comeuppance.

I've just seen an article which stated that since this saga started all those years ago, Fujitsu the company  that supplied the equipment involved, has been awarded a further 150 government contracts, I wonder if backhanders were involved ? Surely not..😂
