Mr Bates vs The Post Office
Discussion
beer and sir wyn both so so good.
I love watching anyone skilled in their craft execute it (ok, maybe not politicians).
I hadn't realise that would extend to this context too, though.
I love the way he said 'you really need to stop laughing at the witness' to the public at the end there, by actually telling how restrained they had been and how he knows they can do even better.

I can tell you from very wide experience that it's just like you're seeing here in the NHS. They have an unshakeable belief they won't be found out. Bullies, incompetents and shysters dominate the ranks. This is a look behind the curtain.
Agreed. Most very large Govt departments and "institutions" PlywoodPascal said:

Yep, loved that. Sir Wyn knows exactly what the postmasters were thinking about PV. I thought she was gonna cry again, there was a definite chin wobble at the end from PV. Wonder if she'll get a call from Angela tonight? Once she get's out from under the bus of course!I love watching anyone skilled in their craft execute it (ok, maybe not politicians).

And unfortunately now this genuinely interesting enquiry will play second fiddle to the election announcement
Just as another poster so accurately predicted some pages back
Call me selfish but I would much sooner be watching Paula Vennells squirming under cross examination than Beth Rigby waving her hands and arms around like a maniac
That was me, at 15:23. What a shame for the subpostmasters who have waited years for this moment, only for the limelight to be snatched away.Just as another poster so accurately predicted some pages back

But the timing of what is seemingly going to happen later is utterly and remarkably convenient for hiding away her pathetic performance from general scrutiny.
But who benefits from this distraction technique? Who or what is so important that the spotlight needs to be taken from her when people have been waiting for years to explain what she has been responsible for?
Something about this really doesn’t sit right.

Isn't Infosys a major partner of Fujitsu? Hasn't the Govt given some *very* juicy contracts to Fujitsu - in fact, it is reported, £3.8bn in contracts in the last year, vs £1.3bn in the whole of the 3 prior years. But I don't want to fan the flames of conspiracy theories.But the timing of what is seemingly going to happen later is utterly and remarkably convenient for hiding away her pathetic performance from general scrutiny.

The Govt is in a bind. The blood scandal, the Post Office scandal, serious questions around the PM's family finances, the state of the economy, the ongoing high interest rates, record numbers of immigrants. It may be they simply think it will only get worse from here on in!

With inflation down to 2%, and knowing that the Post Office Scandal had running on through both Labour and Conservative governments, I had to look up the blood scandal but that was from the '70s so I think both Labout and Tories are culpable for the bind we're in. Bonefish Blues said:

Cameron and his successors have had 14 years to sort the blood scandal out, as well as to resolve this Post Office issue. What have they actually been doing? Waiting for a majority?
