It's a good thing it isn't a drinking game!

It actually is, in more than one household to my knowledge Grin

Oh Tim 😍

Quirkyme · 24/05/2024 14:49

This email is absolutely vile.

nauticant · 24/05/2024 14:49

Here she is crawling up Mark Davies' arse. Cringeworthy.

Ooh, this email from Vennells is horrible.

I wonder if anyone is tallying the number of times she doesn't remember something.

I like his tone, gentle but carrying clear moral judgement.

Quirkyme · 24/05/2024 14:47

She can't answer that question.
Why she wouldn't say what he said.

She's full of utter crap.

nauticant · 24/05/2024 14:46

It's interesting that Vennells will throw anyone under the bus to save herself, but not Mark Davies and here she's all out here to uphold his reputation.

Curious.

There should be prosecutions for a number of people, perjury for starters. I don't know if the law of corporate manslaughter can extend to actions which drive innocent people to suicide, but if it does, then that is another ground for prosecutions.

I don't want more inquiries, I want people to face justice. Same as with Covid, involving the late Queen in an unlawful act, Grenfell, dumping sewage in rivers.

Mr Moloney telling Vennells has had a taste of the hatred the Post Office called down on subpostmaters and asked what she thought about that.

She loves the 'with hindsight it might have been better if '....

That woman is evil personified

I adore how you all ignored the scolding 😁

I reported it! Was tempted not to as it was so ridiculous by Vestibule.

Very proud.

at this point an honest person would admit, but instead there is waffle about not remembering - which in turn makes her look like a liar - even if she had forgotten, it would be better to not deny her memory loss

murasaki · 24/05/2024 14:42

I can't recall is her happy place.

Luckily there are enough emails to show she did do things, as it's impossible to argue against otherwise.

She's been shaken up by that and is retreating into "I can't recall" straight away for the next topic.

Exactly!!

She could own up at this point. This is an acid test of her honesty now she's been caught out badly.

Never going to happen, she'll just double down.

littlbrowndog · 24/05/2024 14:38

Big note going across now to lawyer

FatAndFiftySomething · 24/05/2024 14:35

I’m very intrigued by those who cannot be found, or have refused to come in.

Same here, I’m trying to sleuth if Jane Macleod is a lawyer in Australia now, but no luck.
