So, this bombshell report - that had given Bad Enoch such concerns about Staunton - was mostly about Nick Read, almost 80pgs long, and Staunton featured in a single paragraph. Just another of the minister's big fat lies. Oh, and where's her 'evidence' she claimed to be able to produced to prove she had not leaked the news of Staunton's sacking? No, we haven't seen that either.

There should be a totally independent, non Post office and non Governmental body set up to process the compensation payments.

Staunton seems genuine.

This seems all about those with power and influence, as being able to use the legal system to obfuscate the issues, then employ or instruct legal representation to further delay process and stop the issues getting into the public domain, they seem to act with impunity to avoid their part in this scandal ... money, power and influence over the ability of the courts desire to seek the truth, who have been complicit in this entire issue...a legal system full of inequality and determined not to look at their part in this miscarriage of justice, the issue is now in plain sight...it was a joined up approach from courts, corporations and government to throw the Sub Post Masters under the bus while all looked the other way....all while taking ‘fat cat salaries ‘ that allows the privilege-of having money enough to dodge the issues...something denied to Sub Post Masters...
