Paula Vennells

I've found it very difficult to understand how she is wired. Most CEOs I come across have some level of neurodiversity to borderline psychopathy. The job itself means you cannot allow the impact of your business decisions on the people you work with to effect you. On the other hand we see she has a career in the Church as a minister.

The difference here, is she was not only the CEO of a company that could dismiss you if it had a problem, but she was CEO of a company that was able to financially ruin you or worse. She was there a long time and she knew all this.

If she is a genuine person, her Christian beliefs would have meant she was compelled to find out more and do the right thing by people as early as she possibly could. She didn't

I therefore think she is a fake and her neurodiversity is probably on the psychopath end of the scale.
 
While she is definitely a liar, self - serving, incompetent, narcissistic, and somewhere towards a psychopath, she shouldn't bear all responsibility for this.

Jail time is warranted for her, definitely, but for many others as well: from the lawyers and PR, all the way down to the on-the-ground "investigators".
From the testimonies that I've watched, many of them are clearly lying and, when you consider that those lies knowingly ruined people, they are vile excuses for human beings too.

I suspect she is too far away from the possible crimes that have been committed to be at risk of jail. Unless of course those that are, can find evidence of direction from the top and drag her down with them.

I don't know what her net worth is, but there has emerged some evidence that she personally misled investors during the floatation. That could enable shareholders to bankrupt her. Unfortunately, the separation of the two businesses may make this hard to pin. But it does show a deceitful nature about her.

Bliar didn't go to prison on the back of a wmd lie, I doubt she will for her actions. Her approach in the witness box seems to accept accountability but not intentional wrongdoing, doubtless she has in mind avoiding potential criminal charges. There will be calls for a specific criminal offence when the inquiry report is published but little or nothing will happen, maybe a watered down general “duty” introduced. The other CEO’s out there have to be protected.
 
False accounting would be ironic and just.

Was she under oath? for those committees.

@blup MPs have various protections not afforded to the citizen, even powerful CEOs.

She's drowning in perjury, though : both to this inquiry, and the Select Committee.

Has she perjured herself to this inquiry? The SC has powers, but I doubt they would want to put off other witnesses that give evidence. One for Sir Kier maybe.

Anyone on here believe her? I don’t, and I don’t believe those crocodile tears either.

I just think about the people who have suffered because of the post office

They must be sick to the stomach listening to her

There is zero acceptance of responsibility, zero contrition.

She says she “loves the post office” - you don’t love corporations. I think she might love the huge wage and bonuses.

If she loves the post office, she would love the people. It’s people that make a business.
 
She's clearly not wired that way. I suspect the £700k ish salary helped her hold back any conscience. The tiers she sheds now are because she's exposed. The best Barristers are the ones that get you to expose your personality without making it obvious. Jason Beer does it well.


Just look at the pause, when she realises she's f**cked

Criminal conspiracy: slowly joining the dots

A throwaway line in a piece of oral evidence at the Horizon IT inquiry yesterday may have revealed more about the cover-up which some are now openly calling a criminal conspiracy to pervert the cou…

Yesterday, when Pardoe was asked whether the “persistent sentiment” he described came from his boss John Scott, (the former Post Office Head of Security), Wilson agreed it did, but then said:

“The one I remember probably with greater clarity is the Paula Vennells communication… I’m sure that that preceded known media interest that was imminently about to go public, and I’m sure that there was some form of written communication to say, you know, “Look, folks, this is likely to be out within the public domain and the approach we’re taking is this, this, this and this”, to paraphrase.”

£250k, plus £300k+ bonus is what I've seen quoted.

It's all on the record: I take your point, but the SC can bide it's time.
