Why does she not keep the CBE and give all her money to the victims

[@josmith1751]

Like Jo Hamilton said, Vennells having her CBE removed is a distraction from the sheer fact that no one has received their compensation yet. Another sub postmasters that was imprisoned said the £600k compensation will have the interim payments deducted from it, I mean the incompetence of dealing with this is immense, MP's need to get their fingers out and do more to make this right, and they must also without a doubt imprison everyone up the chain at the Post Office & Fujitsu that abused their positions of power and were complicit in this cover-up, all those that lied, misled, deceived and concealed evidence, they need to freeze their assets and take back the bonus payments made to them on the backs of the lives they ruined.

This was a failure of MANAGEMENT at the Post Office. Yes, bugs are common in major systems but the fact that such significant bugs made it through to the LIVE system means that there was either an inadequate specification of requirements or an inadequate system of testing - or most likely, BOTH. Those failures are management failures. Probably of people promoted into positions to tick boxes rather than on the basis of proven success at doing the job. Also, if the specification has inadequate controls and safeguards in it then the product can in fact be built to specification and yet STILL be not fit for purpose. I still can't understand how none of those accused were not able make an adequate case for their defence by simply analysing the processes themselves - or finding somebody else who could do that. If it turns out that requests for details of how the system worked were blocked or falsified, then people should certainly be going to prison. The whole thing is disgusting.
