Ahh, we're on to Vennells relying on verbal updates. ie deniable.

But typically, Vennells is now denying that she relied on verbal updates.

RMG prospectus questions now!

Am I getting this right, Ms Vennells says she didn't know anything until 2012/13 but this guy is showing her correspondence she wrote in 2011?

littlbrowndog · 24/05/2024 14:32

Earned her keep

nauticant · 24/05/2024 14:35

OMG! The list of Vennells achievements in fiddling with the prospectus. Vennells lost of words and now fighting back.

There it is

FatAndFiftySomething · 24/05/2024 14:35

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

Lunde · 24/05/2024 14:35

Busted by her "key achievements"

Quirkyme · 24/05/2024 14:35

I would love someone to tell her to stop imagining.

murasaki · 24/05/2024 14:35

Although you can't remember it, it was a key achievement.

Gotcha.

FatAndFiftySomething · 24/05/2024 14:35

Whoa!

nauticant · 24/05/2024 14:36

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

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

littlbrowndog · 24/05/2024 14:38

Big note going across now to lawyer

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

littlbrowndog · 24/05/2024 14:40

Very proud.

Jo Hamilton.

Exactly!!

Lunde · 24/05/2024 14:41

.... and the amnesia has returned

nauticant · 24/05/2024 14:41

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

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.

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.

littlbrowndog · 24/05/2024 14:40

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

I adore how you all ignored the scolding 😁

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

toddlepod · 24/05/2024 14:45

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

That woman is evil personified

nauticant · 24/05/2024 14:45

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.
