Replying to @JamesTurner37
I’m told James, that a lady’s stocking, worn as a complete head covering, is also 100% effective against transmitting the virus. Excitingly, once removed, it apparently also takes with it any gunshot residue.

- Full marks to Jason Coyne… he got it right in 2003… and got it right again in 2019.Post Office tried to convince independent IT witness that he was wrong about Horizon bit.ly/4712mFH
- He, or Jo Swinson, could have called in Second Sight. One hour would have been more than enough to open their eyes. Instead, they both swallowed the nonsense generated by POL and Fujitsu. Laziness maybe? Naïveté perhaps? Or the desire to maintain plausible deniability?“I wish I’d done more” Former Postal Affairs Minister @EdwardJDavey reflects on the Post Office scandal, suggesting the coalition government didn’t do enough to prevent the wrongful convictions of sub-postmasters. #Peston
00:00 - Windrush; Factor 8; Grenfell; and The Post Office all involved huge mistakes made by people who we trusted (and paid) to do their jobs competently. Those mistakes proved to be life-changing/life-ending for the victims. People are asking whether all of them also involved cover-ups
- Well said Tom. You’re doing us all an immense favour by so valiantly, eloquently and calmly fighting all this alarmist anti-‘carbon’ (they can’t even use the right term!) claptrap.There is no climate crisis. It's all an anti-science scam.
- Well done Karl for finding that, keeping it… and now publishing it. Alan was spot on from Day Zero. But without Computer Weekly and then Private Eye and Accountancy Age running with the story, he’d have got nowhere. Something to be proud of!#PostOfficeScandal This is the first contact between Alan Bates and Computer Weekly. Alan has never waivered. Bit of history there
- Great questions, deftly delivered, by Julian Lewis, Karl Turner, Chi Onwurah and so many other MPs. I’m afraid Scully was once again stuttering, puffing, out of his depth and most obviously parroting a script that he’s been fed by his civil servants that was fed to them by POL.
- Delighted to read that message Dean. If you need an update from Second Sight we are only a phone call away.I am honoured to be taking on ministerial responsibility for Postal Affairs. My number one priority in this area will be to ensure we deliver compensation fairly and quickly to postmasters impacted by the Horizon scandal. Time to get stuck into the red box (es). @nickwallis
- You have to hand it to Private Eye... it’s chock full of beautifully crafted, hard-hitting, ballsy material. And here’s an example of that. I wonder whether anyone who’s ever served in BEIS ever reads it. It seems unlikely that Vince Cable or Jo Swinson ever did.Scandal-plagued Post Office still manages to pay bosses huge bonuses - with help from pay consultants PwC, who also do its audits. Cosy!

- “Lessons have been learned” is such a facile expression. It has no worth unless IRREVERSIBLE CHANGES have been made. In POL’s case, 2nd Sight could - right now - list scores of lessons that have not yet led to irreversible changes. Each ‘lesson’ needs associated ACTION STEPS...
- It was a privilege to be there today to hear - and to see - these MPs so passionately expressing their disgust at what has been going on and their deeply held suspicions that talk about “past mistakes”, “treating matters seriously” and “lessons learned” is meaningless twaddle.
- Yes indeed. Mr Beer started off well but he’s getting better and better. Consistently delivering extraordinarily impressive performances - and every one carried out without any grandstanding or self indulgent displays of the superior intellect that sits beneath the cool exterior.Replying to @Jusmasel2015Yes I agree Mr Beer was brilliant today. I would advise anyone with a bit of time to spare to watch the YouTube coverage of the dismantling of a witness.
- Thanks for highlighting that. We, in Second Sight, only heard about that Detica report in 2020.
