Yes, and as she was clearly 'hung out to dry' by Vannells at a board meeting she was supposed to have attended but wasn't called, (due to her being hung out to dry in that meeting), it makes no sense that she doesn't come clean about what was going on and who knew what/when! Maybe now that is out in the open she'll be more forthright this afternoon?Originally Posted by PickleB

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Skewered by the inquiry lawyers several times, including on the matter of Orwellian language, not mitigating or excusing her responsibility, but clearly thrown under the bus by Vennells and Perkins (one-down from a dame, Mrs Jack Straw, Will Remain-Failure Straw's mum). Vennells and Perkins took a real pasting this afters so their personal appearances should be worth checking in on. Seem a thoroughly nasty pair, their notes to file were revealing.

It seems the lawyer has thrown Venells straight under the bus
There's a big hole being dug for Venells. Tomorrow we see her buddy Angela up, that should be interesting.
What did you take as highlights? I’m gonna have to watch. I assume he knew, did nothing in his two years (as instructed by Venells?). So he says I guess. It’s hotting up.
Had it on in the background whilst working, but what a day!
I feel that I am missing something. Why did POL only employ lawyers with experience in civil law? So far at this has been the case for at least two of those called to give evidence, albeit that they were using outside legal firms (chambers?) to lead the prosecutions.
I think before separation the criminal lawyers were in RM Group. After separation POL had at least Singh and Wilson in criminal roles. Whether they were competent or not is another matter. Singh’s reputation took another battering today. He appeared in an earlier hearing and is an absolute buffoon.

A slight aside, but this is very illuminating. A worker's experience of Royal Mail decline since privatisation:

I think it was becoming clear to all that it was a mess, but crikey!
So clever my foot fell off.
The solicitor now in the dock, doesn’t seem to have a good recollection of very much at all…
Mr Stein gave him a right kicking.
I'm not sure how some of these lawyers can turn up to work again. Williams is still employed by the Post Office. Flemington seems to have a decent job, although I'm not sure his employer is going to be too impressed. Looks like Aujard might have just jacked it in and Smith doesn't appear to feature on the website of the practice which bears his name.
Mr Henry gets his chance now.
