Adam Crozier, the former CEO of Royal Mail and Alan Cook, the former managing director of Post Office give evidence to the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry.
Alan Bates and the hundreds of other sub-postmasters wrongly prosecuted by the Post Office have alerted the public to the importance of correcting miscarriages of justice.
Former City bankers may struggle to win the same degree of public sympathy, but if they have been wrongly convicted their cases are equally deserving of a legal remedy.

The usual vague replies, perhaps jail time is the best way of getting these managers to sing
'Robust' systems, 'safe and effective' vaccines. Tut tut. We need an appearance of Mr Beer in all enquiry affairs. Hallett and co seem to not understand a bad molecule versus one that is at least safe!
Clearly he’s been told by lawyers to deny he knew the PO was prosecuting directly. These guys are at risk of jail time and they know it
What I’m curious about is why the people at Bracknell were changing sub postmaster accounts in the first place WHY
I’m missing something here perhaps someone can fill me in
What a t party
Monkeys in a gilded zoo
Cook the Crook!
The standard of Management and Executives is truly dreadful…..jobs for the boys comes to mind
CEO's cannot, and should not, assume anything ..this guy clearly not fit for Office
Yet another I Never… I never ..I never Not My Fault I wasn't Involved TOP EXEC !
How does Alan Crook have a smarmy smile in his mind that's so obvious to all normal people, when he's one of the ones facing jail? Again – "it wiznae me, a big boy did it and ran away (smirk)".
Crozier the Crook.
Compare this pathetic sub-bojo-level schmuck (and david smith's yesterday) with Lord Arbuthnot. It all breaks down now unless they're acting like Brando. He's in creche remedial.
Car Insurance? Crown Offices? Dementia??? How convenient. No mention of the issue at hand from the Cook.
My thought is – who the forced paybacks were going to – and who was initiating the false discrepancies. And where the false-stolen money "paid back" under enormous duress went to. UNAWARE UNAWARE UNAWARE. SHOCK SHOCK SHOCK. IT WISNAE ME, HONNNESTTT. See whatt III meannn. Smirk. Can't remember (David Brent wink aside to camera).
Jail for All guilty people! From The Very Top Down!
Decades of deceit custodial sentences are required morally ethically and legally!
It appears that all the Post Office Management people, from top to bottom were a collection of Imbecillic Amnestics with only idiotic logic.
Alan Crook ultimately is no use as a witness – he's an idiot. Paula Venables will also play this card – it wisnae me – but unlike Crook she's not an idiot. And, I predict, will escape prison.
Gross negligence at the very least for many of these Execs, incompetence and abundant lies. The truth is coming out and I hope they get serious jail time for all the immense suffering they have caused to decent law abiding people and their families. Hopefully the police will start taking action soon. Disgusting too how they are trying so hard to minimise compensation and in an untimely manner!
MD and hasn’t a clue. The Post Office tends to go for this type and over promote them.
Slimy people. Nasty and vindictive. If they could and would have got away with it they would have, laughing all the way into their retirements. Whilst innocent people suffered broke, robbed and in jail. Evil is what it is, it's beyond regret from them all
Terrifying how this man can be on any board.
THEY ARE ALL GOING TO JAIL !!!!!!!!
They spent over £300K pursuing a debt of £25K. Blimey, someone high in the organisation must have known this and no questions asked. Don't believe him.
Should be asked what financial moneys or fees these people are being paid ?
Non of these boses seem to know nothing? How did they run the place?
How shameful that Crozier has not been asked to resign as chairman of BT.
Another boss who doesn't remember anything other than what his lawyer has told him what to say.
Rats jumping from a sinking ship !
What a liar how can he live with himself . He should be sent down for it and have all his wages and bonus taken back
They are all 💩💩💩💩💩Themselves
He been lying all thow this he know what was going on they all new all of them and he does not look comfortable and to many i can't remember or i did not see this the inquire should pull them up if they even think they are lying and dont !!!!
Ingscod
TTNC Limited is running a similar type scheme
No no, a big boy done it and ran away ‼️
How would Mr.Cook Know ? He only went to work to eat his lunch!
I can’t watch these fools trying to apologise to something they could of stopped years ago 😡
Makes you wonder how on earth the business was run, according to the upper management team, it wasn’t me, I was unaware, not my remit, not my circus, not my monkeys.
Is it any wonder the post office is in the state it’s in, when people like this and venables was in charge. sick and tired of the, it was so long ago now I can’t remember, and it wasn’t in my remit, and with hindsight I can see that, all bullshit
“I apologise the organisation I was paid millions to run, put you in prison for a crime you didnt commit, Im sorry!” Who could bring themself to say that – unless it was to their legal advantage
Lets hope that in the 73,000 documents that the PO "discovered" recently since February, and given to the Inquiry that there are some to the relevant CEOs outlining the issues.
