Seems to have given into the pressure and is apparently to return her CBE

I also think that her and her cronies who didn't give a monkeys about the post masters/mistresses should also be stripped of their savings and assets to help pay the losses and suffering these poor people were made to and are still enduring, instead of the taxpayer, as well as Fujitsu who should also payback the money they got payed for such an absolute abject failure of a computer system.

She did at beginning of December but seems that it was lost in transit.

That's the first step to sorting this mess out, once the postmasters get their long overdue compo then onto criminal investigation into the cover-up and prosecutions based on lies that the Post Office damn well knew were unsafe

It’s a platitude that makes no material difference to anyone. She should be up in front of a judge for stealing and potentially manslaughter…

Together with the rest of the Post Office Board at the time, a number of Fujitsu people and some Teflon politicians.

Ed Davy, Starmer both associated with this mess , the latter overseeing some of the prosecutions, will all come out in the wash.

The vast majority of prosecutions were
Private cases bought by the Post Office against
the Post masters.
Only a Tiny number would of had anything to do
With the CPS .

This issue about a very large number of postmasters suddenly being accused of fraud/ dishonesty had been going on for many years but it was only the ITV dramatisation that showed events frrom the real lived perspective. Only now that real people can empathise is it becoming clear what monster had been created and determindly upheld by 'the system'. This sudden flood of promises from the politicians .... smacks of party political electioneering and posturing rather than genuine contrition and sense of shame.
But well done to Alan Bates for never giving up and ITV for the courage to inform and help me (and millions of others) to see and understand.

Just another gender based appointment that ticks a box and resulted in a disaster.

Weird, could have sworn some men were also involved in this, didn't realise it was just the fault of one woman! When will people learn not to give them important things to do?!

Not really, a common known fact is that that a fish rots from the head first...

Also a lot of credit to the two journalists who have been running with this for best part of 20 years Nick Wallis and Rebecca Thomson. Their podcast and BBC Sounds series are well worth listening through, he's done a book on it too.

The thing that really stands out is Post Office knew in many cases there wasn't physically enough money at the branch in question to have stolen what they were accused of, yet still prosecuted without hesitation.

What does that saying have to do with your original post?
