Criminal charges in the Post Office scandal? Feat. Marina Purkiss & Wilfred | Jeremy Vine

[@jeffsuter344]

If you can go to prison for wrongly claiming £70.00.in benefits why do the corporate world get away with worse?

[@lindapenlington1730]

The Post Office is a disgrace and the law is an ass 🤬

[@davew1234]

‘Imagine going to her for forgiveness, Christ!’ 😂 Marina you’re brilliant.

[@colinblack3288]

I literally thought the same thing 🫣

[@davidblight7502]

The government could have done something about it years ago. They ran the PO until recently . They're only talking about it now because of the ITV drama.

[@toriesout8692]

They can try and say what about Labour, but at the end of the day, what about our current Tory government that knew about it this? Why did they give the ex-CEO a CBE and government roles? Why did they give Fujitsu more contracts? Why hasn’t the government done a damn thing since this emerged?

[@sarangistudent8614]

Not just this, the list goes on, grenfell, windrush. Hillsborough, ppe fraud, covid furlough fraud, phone tapping, mp expenses, the list goes on and on, most of it caused by and for the Tories. Please, please make this Tory nightmare stop.

[@Cee75-mm9hq]

It’d cost more than Paula Vennels has got. I’m sure Paula can sell her home to help toward the proceeds just like a lot of those innocent Post Masters/Mistresses had to.

[@paulcrawford5437]

Sorry Sunak it's NOT appalling it's CRIMINAL.

[@npcoo337ooo7]

Royal Mail owned the post office during this scandal , Adam Crozier , Allan Leighton and Moya Greene also need to be held accountable.

[@jujutrini8412]

Spot on!

[@jamesbond7107]

I adore Marina partly because the right wing media can't stand her ,is it just me but is channel 5 too scared to put the disgusting Carole Malone against her after the last time they met or has Malone stated she won't be in the same studio with Marina 😂😂

[@lindapenlington1730]

I think Malone has probably said she won't go up against Marina again, probably thinks Marina is a silly lefty.

[@jamesbond7107]

Well I think I would rather be a loony lefty than a right wing lunatic .😂

[@bexproctor360]

I loathe Carole Malone, she's vile ! And I love Marina, she's articulate, compassionate, has has sense!

[@jamesbond7107]

At least Marina is not a right wing lunatic. Malone is a female Dan Wootton ( whatever happened to him ) 🤔🤔

[@wakstar1]

Purkiss is just a class act.

[@gohumberto]

I just need to know (1) Who knew what? (2) When did they know it? Once we know that we'll know who was willing to let 800 people's lives go to hell.

[@paulslater9061]

If you're going to let people ring in stop cutting them up

[@tommcmanamon8327]

In Scotland it the Scottish courts who prosecuted the sub post masters not the post office. What are SNP going to do!.

[@moselley]

Two middle aged men constantly talking over a young woman before she can make her point. What a surprise.

[@ginawillis3911]

Lack of knowledge and understanding can be the only reason Wilfred would say Paula isn’t the only one to blame. She’s 99.9% to blame

[@lobintool]

Wilfred is talking bollocks as usual. He hasn't even watched the drama and he's blaming lawyers. It was a lawyer who heard about this malarkey on the radio and offered to help on a pro bono" basis!

[@ginawillis3911]

Wilfred shouldn’t speak on this before watching the documentary or drama. Lack of knowledge is not going help to have the right needed attitude on this issue

[@gorgu08]

Why is there an ignoramus on this who has not seen the drama?

[@drandrewallan]

Why was the inquiry not started when this first became apparent?

[@janetmalcolm6191]

Yes exactly why wasn't it looked at in the beginning? Plus the lie that nobody else had access! When they did. Nobody wanted to bother. The money was coming in. A lot of it from people who fell foul of such a bad system who should not have had to do that.

[@marpop99]

Royal Mail IB need investigating.

[@probro9898]

Renaming the Post Office would cost money, which would be better spent compensating the postmasters. And it would just be the same people under another name.

[@BLUESKY-zt1nv]

They will get huge bonuses .

[@ARNM55-l9v]

Not really a great look for the UK legal system. Perception from the other side of the pond [US]. Considering the portrayed attitude / culture of those in positions of authority, in the UK, I'm not surprised at how this played out. Based only on what I've seen in videos & read in comments, coming from people in the UK, it seems that those in authoritative positions, regardless of the insignificance of their office, they function as if they have been given absolute, infallible powers from some all-powerful deity or royal source. Do not question me, I am the law. Regrettably, I see the same behaviors in many business owners over here in the US. Very good presentation.

[@joffey1212]

Disgusting attitude by vine ,no empathy ,nothing

[@ginawillis3911]

At the start Jeremy asked what do we want to see. I want to see him be treated like the Sub postmasters & the public have the same attitude towards him as he has on this. Jeremy showed his true character with his disregard attitude. Get him off the screen asap. I hope there’s a petition to get rid of him. I’ll be the 1st to sign it.

[@Smarterthanyew]

Jeremy Vine loves the sound of his own voice and interrupts appallingly. He's often wrong too. A disgraceful host who needs replacing.

[@barneyrubble8590]

He's alright! I think he is polite and light hearted, not like certain guests...DR. shola 😱

[@cartoonhead9222]

@@barneyrubble8590 Dr Shola? would rather listen to Dr Pepper.

[@DavidRobinson-rj2sp]

Vennells - Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

[@ginawillis3911]

Jeremy Vine hasn’t got the best attitude regarding this. I don’t get his attitude & lack of empathy. Weird

[@paulslater9061]

Criminal charges should be brought on Post Office and anyone else involved

[@williamlyons3261]

These computer bugs are still around in the military and government I work in engineering all my life and how many computer systems didn’t work we gave up on some but the difference is we never went to court the ones that have lied should go to prison so unfair to the people that have been wronged and new computer systems in business should be on trial till all the bugs are sorted if this had been done we wouldn’t be were we are today

[@ncooper8438]

The stiffest penalty will be suspended sentences and preventing the executives from holding other executive positions. I doubt time behind bars will happen. As for MP's they will receive warnings or temporary suspension.

[@chrisfell5073]

The judges are also to blame. How did they allow a none expert into their court - 'the expert' was from Fujitsu. He was not independent. There was futher problems in the court that were incorrect(PO enquiry Day 84 and 85).

[@johngoddard7126]

Wilfred is a dinosaur and has no logic left in his head

[@JeanRinger]

Shut up Jeremy and listen to

[@outlaw6421]

Get on your bike JV..

[@jey2472]

Please put them in jail

[@chrisfell5073]

I was told years ago by 2 software managers that these large software programs never fully worked properly. There was always something to correct. Alarm bells start ringing when suspense accounts are mentioned...these would be unknown, unreconciled differences...

[@JeanRinger]

You are spot on Marina go girl go

[@MiriamWalcott]

Historically the subpostmasters were seen as the bottom of the barrel by the Post Office and not to be trusted inspite all the hoops they go through to get their positions. When the errors started appearing it justified to them that the subpostmasters were thieves and the new computer system was showing them up. It would've taken someone with the mindset that a thousand subpostmasters can't suddenly be wrong to stick a pin and investigate what was happening. Unfortunately the former narrative suited them better. It's the institutional prejudice that has kept this disgraceful situation going on for so long.

[@ElviraCondomine]

Why are you using Royal Mail in the Thumbnail?

[@antonyjerome7478]

Jeremy Vine complaint about the establishment… couldn’t make it up.

[@sgsuper1150]

Well any account changes would be fraudulent because they said in court it could not be changed. Police are at fault for not bring crimial charges

[@shaungell4032]

They will use delay tactics so that this works in the favour of the Government. As they Government say " Never waste a bod opportunity "

[@ford5440]

Vennells didn't return her CBE because she thought that action would redeem her reputation.She did it because God told her to.

[@cartoonhead9222]

Should arrest Jeremy Vine for crimes against television.

[@carlupton]

You may want to change your intro image to remove the Royal Mail logo before you get sued for indirectly implying Royal Mail are involved in this horrendous scandal. They are two totally separate companies, and this scandal is solely down to the Post Office and not Royal Mail.

[@jujutrini8412]

Royal Mail and the Post Office were part of the same group until 2012 when the Post Office was split up into separate businesses. Royal Mail was privatised by Vince Cable who was Business Secretary at the time.

[@ricatkins4918]

..in this high tech world.. I find it baffling, how this failed system couldn’t be explained for the errors it created? I mean Apollo 13 in 1970 was eventually put right ...... so well over fifty years ago technology THEN could be rectified....

[@annmccrindle]

He needs 2 do what he says or he should be jailed

[@kevin4havis]

Why would we consider any opinion by Jeremy Vine.

[@laplanche18]

Why do you need vine .dancing about like that

[@GDC348]

How about looking at the HMRC Loan Charge Scandal 10 suicides so far.

[@paulslater9061]

The judges are all bent anyway

[@gijane9375]

5 million each your, off your trolley what about windrush.

[@donnalloyd7195]

Tony Blair introduced this system, Starma couldn’t work out 700 convictions, 🥴, the liberal leader lol, the vicar with a 🏅, thank you for ITV,💋

[@maureenstarr5744]

Cant stand Vine

[@kitcarson57]

What a dreadful programme . The two “ guests “ talking over each other , Mr Vine talking over both of them.at a hundred miles an hour. This awful episode deserves more serious coverage.

[@sarangistudent8614]

Is it his number one priorrrrdy?

[@MrHoopski]

jesus, Vine is awful
