Whut-the-actual-fuk!! How is it justice cannot be SEEN or SERVED in this lying era of bullsh*t in which we presently find ourselves?

For those watching this scandal unfold, the enquiry is slowly getting to the top managers.
Watch Angela vd Bogerd lying, obfuscating and shifting blame.
And from 1:55:00 see her get skewered and grilled by a lawyer acting for one victim!

@Buttless Its probably because the duration of the video currently stands at 5 hours and 20 minutes. Holy crap!!!! Thats 5 hours too long for me

WTF???????????? I have seen some monstrous miscarriages of justice in my time but this certainly takes the cake.
Then again, when was the last time that any institution carrying the Royal stamp or having a formal association with it, ever was held accountable for anything?
@JudgeDredd That is the problem.
'Royal Mail' was a trusted organisation, postmasters were Justices of the Peace, it was a government department not a profit-making enterprise.
Then it became a company, run by incompetent managers motivated by bonuses.
Now it is the biggest scandal in British corporate history.

Thanks Butt for the link. I had missed this testimony.
I have been following this since the ITV drama series via the British media and phone-ins where the victims and families of victims of this corporate corruption and greed have voiced their stories.
Shocking.
The Post Office legal come under scrutiny in the next few weeks, and Paula Vennells - former Group Chief Executive Officer of Post Office Ltd will be answering questions for THREE DAYS (MAY 22, 23, 24).
More squirming I fear.
@..box.. Hi Box, and begorrah!
The movie told the story from Alan Bates' point of view but the enquiry (thank goodness it is televised) is the real thing. What a heartless b1tch vd Bogord is. See the results on that poor Indian SPM and the widow of the one who ended it under a bus.
I am looking forward to Venell's appearance, what will she say ?

This doco shamed the UK politicians to investigate “one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in our nation’s history” (Rishi Sunak, UK Prime Minister) and rush through pardoning and compensation legislation for a 25-year cover-up.
An interesting summary shows the power of the media:
