Mr Bates and the post office

[Mottie]

Is that your admittance of the corruption systemic within the Tory party?

It’s the way of life. If you haven’t learned that by now, you must go around with your eyes shut or not be in business.

It’s the way of life.

So in your opinion, is that 'way of life' you describe good or bad?

 

[Mottie]

Why? Are you going to 'weaponise' my opinion? I’ll cry, you know I will.

Well it’s obviously good for both the giver and the receiver of course - they wouldn’t do it otherwise. Go ahead, weaponise - Mottie doesn’t care!

Weaponise?

I was merely asking what you thought of a system that is effectively corruption being a good or bad 'way of life'...

Strange that you have a problem in answering that directly...

I learned from the best. You! Talking of learning, have you learned the difference between the SEIS scheme and furlough yet?

I'll take that as a yes then.

You can't weaponise an opinion like you weaponise someone's personal data.
Disclosing personal data without the owners permission is probably a criminal offence.
Criticising someone's opinion is a perfectly valid and normal argument tatcic. If it were not so, arguments or discussions would not be allowed.
You've learnt a new word but applied it incorrectly.

Try yes or no questions. Mottie seems comfortable with those.

Corruption will continue as long as people just accept it, or even want it.

Nothing wrong with fair pay for fair work.

I don't think he likes being found out for what he does.

Or wrongly, enjoys it and revels in it

So boat people is just a way of life, time you accepted it...

Oh no Mottie hypocrisy incoming...

Someone talking on Nicky Campbell now. He was a Postmaster years back and noticed quite a significant financial discrepancy on the system. He reported it to them and was threatened with the sack and prosecution. He refused to back down and eventually a few people from both the Post Office and Fujitsu visited. During their visit, no one in the branch was interacting with the IT system, however it carried out a transaction. The Postmaster said there and then 'the IT system is either faulty or someone is doing things remotely.'

They departed and a few days later the discrepancy miraculously righted itself.

I heard that interview too.

He also added that, some months later, he met with Geoff Hoon, among others.

After hearing the various inputs at the meeting, the caller said that GH advised him to get out of the PO, as it was clearly a crash just waiting to happen again..................

New law announced to fast track the process.

Apparently a Fujitsu IT spec has offered to give evidence to the Horizon enquiry, but only if he is protected from prosecution.

Probably a bit late for whistle blowing.
