I think it is already 'insolvent' because it has been run as a public service, rather than as a business, and in any case it is owned by the government, so I don't know what that expert is going on about, it will be the government who will pay out.

Today I find myself very disillusioned with this country and the nobheads which live in it

That Panorama program last night was far better than the drama/documentary which has just been shown on ITV about it, but it was shown in April 2022 and I never knew anything about it, and they had the real people it happened to in the program telling what had happened to them, so why wasn't there an outcry starting in April 2022 ?

Because in April 2022 the news channels, even the bloody BBC who made the Panorama program, were too busy skrikin about Boris eating piece of cake and having glass of plonk during lockdown, the soft sods

And they weren't happy until they had hounded Boris out of the job a couple of months later, don't get me wrong, Boris should have kept his eye on the ball, but look what we got after Boris, on GB News a couple of days ago a guest described Rishi Sunak has being "a spineless back stabbing coward"

I thought "well I cawn't argue with that"

That is what I think ..........

The BBC have addressed my previous comments as to why it took a drama/documentary to generate the publicity to do something about this terrible scandal, and Nick Wallis explained it perfectly.

So I am not as delusional as I was the other day.

And they will pay out more in redundancy and pensions to the civil servants if they decide to offload the post office

So when you get an 'Honour' you cannot give it back, it has to be taken off you.

On about the Scandal, those people at the Post Office, who like her, knew that the Horizon system was flawed and did nothing about it, knowing that those sub post masters were innocent, should and I hope that they do go to jail.
