Mr Bates vs the Post Office

[guy]

I watched this series last night.

If you have the time/inclination please watch it (very well written and acted) then sign this petition:

Thanks.

Stripping her of a CBE is the least of what should be done.

Apparently she is a big time Christian: goodness only knows how she reconciles the teachings of Christ with her actions.

I've been following this dreadful story for some years and the docudrama is IMO very well put together. I watched a programme about a year ago about how much the PO knew about the Fujitsu problem and from an insider at the company it seemed that they were aware for a long time. It would be good if there was corporate manslaughter charge in relation to those that took their own lives said to be 4.

Quite right, I would like to see prosecutions based on the managers destroying those peoples lives for the sake of their own careers.

Been following this for years and watching the programme now.

Why is it that people in senior positions who commit 'dubious' acts get rewarded for their actions instead of being punished ? If this was the US, Japan and numerous other countries, they would never see the light of day again.

Here’s a way to avoid being in the story; become CEO of ITV

Right, I started to watch this while Anita was out having a coffee morning with her friend, but had to stop at the first episode - I want her to watch this with me in it's entirety. After which I know she will also sign the online petition.

I never gave it much attention when first reported, but ITV's dramatisation really brings home the human cost of this scandal and for this they are to be applauded (though the noted absence of the then boss of the Royal Mail is curious)

Personally I don't think stripping Paula Vennells of her CBE goes nearly far enough - the evil bint and all those complicit should be tied to the back of horses and dragged through the streets. I'd pay good money to see that

Looking at the numbers signing the petition this is certainly gathering pace.

It makes me so angry. A difficult watch!

There are so many other big players who have been rewarded for dodgy or totally inept business who should be jailed instead of rewarded. What about that woman who ran Coutts when they booted out Farage. Her punishment was a sodding, multi million £ pay off and retirement. I bet she is earning a fortune somewhere else now.
