Former Post Office chief breaks down in tears at Horizon IT inquiry
I I would just like to say and I’m grateful for the opportunity to do this in person how sorry I am for all that sub postmasters and their families and others have suffered as a result of all of the matters that the inquiries has been looking into for so long I followed and listened to all of the human impact statements and I was very affected by them I remember listening to One postm whose name I noted who said that he would like somebody to go and stand outside his old post office with him so he could tell them exactly what he’d been through I would do that I am very very sorry why were you telling these parliamentarians that every prosecution involving the Horizon system had been successful and had found in favor of the post office I fully accept now now that the post office excuse me the post office knew that I completely accepted personally I didn’t know that and I’m incredibly sorry that that that happened to those people and to so many others

So venal Vennells finally accepts the wrong she has done, even if dodging personal accountability. Has she returned any of her huge financial bonuses? It's high time we start to see CRIMINAL prosecutions in this country for all the corrupt officials, business people, and politicians who wield vast power over others without exercising due care e.g. Infected Blood, Grenfell Tower, Covid, Water Utilities, etc, etc, etc. It is just not acceptable!!!
She lied to government so needs to be jailed , she caused untold misery to many of people
Guardian News, This is perfect! I subscribed right away!
She's been practicing this for years, just in case she was ever found out.
It means nothing. She pushed through and fought against the SPMs all of the way.
The Buck Stops With You .
Croc tears
She crying for herself and not others
Like she didn't know
🐊 tears
was happy to show off to parliament and get big bonuses didnt care whos lives she ruined caused suicides and split to families up
Crocodile tears…lock her up!
She's 'crying' because she's worried, for her own skin!
Diddums
Corruption rules the 🌎
Karma
Boo Hoo, she has blood on her hands and she knew what she was doing was wrong. She should be in jail
Doesn’t need an enquiry but people like her to be sent to prison for the deliberate lies that she told putting people into prison. She is the reason why the country is a mess. DEI hire with no ability then covers up their foul mess.
Starts with a C guess the word…
Lie after lie…..
I'm sure everyone watching this enquiry have no doubt whatsoever they are all lying, and they know they're lying. The apologies for me, are just another insult
I would be sorry too. If id been caught
“I was very affected”.
No you weren’t.
“I’m incredibly sorry”.
No, you’re not.
BOO HOO, I got found out. Please allow me to be a drama queen to distract.
Go away
Crocodile tears
The Post Office knew…but I didn't. What an admission from the CEO. Incompetent or refusing to accept responsibility?
Pity the word wickedness seems to have gone out of use.
Should’ve spent that 6 figure salary on some acting lessons
Send her to jail!!!!
Love the fact the enquiry put a large colourful box of tissues on her table. Almost like they knew she'd cry.
Jail
Get HMRC to investigate her tax affairs. Give her back some of her own medicine!!!!
She wasn't sorry when she was instigating prosecution but sorry now because she could end up in jail.
In a civilised, first world Country the woman would already be in jail. Doesn't say much for Britain – does it?
В результате переливаний крови в период с 1970-х по 1990-е годы ВИЧ и гепатитом С заразились более 30 тыс. британцев, около 3 тыс. человек уже скончались. Авторы отчета в связи с произошедшим раскритиковали как врачей, так и государственных служащих и политиков. Зарождение жителей Британии это реализация плана глобалистов по сокращению населения. Транснациональные корпорации это субъекты современных международных конфликтов и кризисов!!! Убийства первых лиц государств это тоже их рук дело. Сейчас в опасности государственные руководители всех стран, у ТНК нет национальности….
We're is the witches broom to sweep away the tears
Is it really true that we have no extradition treaty with Australia ?
