Lying through his teeth. Sums up the culture at a top level. All require prison time.

[@donnabeesley9624]

He seems to be floundering over each question

[@Chanesmyname]

That seems to be a truly loathesome man sat on the stand squirming under the weight of the questions.

[@dmhuk]

Anyone know why this guy is still allowed to work for POL!

[@buney]

Rodric... Enjoy your long stretch mate.

3.23 - wow, what a truly awful man - with a truly disgraceful attitude. This guy should be in prison.

I posted my advice earlier in this hearing .....' Time for this witness to Panic ! ' Good to see he has taken my advice.

I know…….He doesn’t remember, He didn’t think it was important at the time, He misunderstood, He wasn’t fully briefed by others, He doesn’t know. What wonderful employees!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@OggyGTA]

Typical corporate behaviour, in my experience. Covering arse, drafting letters to external agencies that sound good, spout documented procedures, but bear no resemblence to the truth.

[@MRJERRYCURTIN]

Sure hope he gets very uncomftable in prison

FUJITSU-‘Only additional data can be inserted’ Like additional amounts of money??? So your software isn’t completely under the control of the postmaster…..What a shock!🇺🇸😏😏😏🙄
