Agree with that. Quite evident. There's no need for an enquiry. Enough evidence for prosecution.
Perverting the course of justice is a very serious offence
And it just keeps giving.....

and just heard on the news that Fujitsu staff altering statements to aid prosecution , someone at Fujitsu and the post office needs to spend some jail time
good old blame game, quite laughable if not so seriousExactly. At least they were taking it (mostly) on the chin today. Although I suspect their final response will be 'look, we told POL about *every* issue)

still cant get round my head how the PO could be judge, prosecutor and executioner, surely they should now be stripped of such powers now, must be an an old ancient law ??
Actually there are quite a lot of organisations that can make private prosecutions (I was surprised) In fact individuals can, but those with statutory right are l(I undserstand) like the RSPCA, local councils, HSE and so on. Could be wrong on the statutory right part.
Not at all sure they are judge and executioner though.
Haven't got time to Google right now as I'm going to see if they want me a a trustee for the local Community Association

as far as I understood the PO weren't private prosecutors, they are the law and act as the law in place of the Police, it's mind boggling.Actually there are quite a lot of organisations that can make private prosecutions

Edit: just found this on the interweb
"According to the Post Office website, Royal Mail solicitors are the earliest known formal investigators and prosecutors in the world, tracing their origins back to 1683. The Post Office continues to act as a private prosecutor, not under any specific power but exercising the general legal right to undertake prosecutions. Its investigators do have powers beyond those of the average private prosecutor including to access the Police National Computer, to undertake financial investigations to bring restraint and confiscation proceedings and to authorise surveillance to investigate crime.

Just finished watching all 3 series of the War of the Worlds remake on My5. Thought is was really good.
Watching True Detective on Amazon at the moment 10 years old but a first for me and very gritty.
