2. Pure evil

3. See needed to be sent to prison for manslaughter and perverting the course of Justice

4. She needs go to jail. If we do not do this we have boards all over the country who will not see an example for cover up or laziness and not looking after their workers.

5. If course I’m sorry. Look I’m crying

6. She's not very "christian" is she. Bearing false witness, greed, proud, arrogance and hubris. No sympathy for her,.. she knew what was going on and is responsible for the hurt, suffering, deaths, bankruptcies and false imprisonment. She should have been arrested the moment she had finished giving evidence. The vilest of the vile.

7. More crocodile tears.

8. But the problem is and it’s still stands many innocent people took their lives many innocent people who charged mistake of your cover-up. The only reason you’re sorry is because you were caught under your management.

9. Her and the other senior managers who conspired in this tragic miscarriage of justice should be jailed.

10. If the next government want an instant win, they need to put her in jail for a long time when they get in.

11. Put her in jail. Its the only justice

12. She just has the look of a liar!

13. If you're happy to take the position, status and salary of Post Office CEO, then you need to understand the position you will rightly find yourself in should the effluent hit the fan. Quite simply she is either grossly incompetent or outright dishonest. Private Eye has been banging on about this scandal for well over a decade so there is zero excuse for her claiming to have no knowledge of the situation. Even if she wasn't solely responsible for this outrage, looking into the allegations and acting correctly should have been her number one priority, but it seems that protecting her own status was a greater priority. The Church of England needs to undergo a period of deep self-reflection to understand why they let someone as vile/incompetent as this act as their representative.

14. Women always turn on the tears when they are guilty of something to get sympathy.

15. BUT BUT RUSSIA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 PHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

16. Best actor award goes to Paula vennells for her Performance at the post office enquiry

17. Jail her and her counterparts

18. She loved the Post Office and didn't care about the innocent Postmasters. Shame on you. Hope she goes to jail with her box of tissues.

19. She is only '''upset''' cause she has been found out ….but she is a multi millionaire so doesn't give a toss….only wants to protect herself and assets…..jail time of at least 20 years is needed….no question…assets frozen and redistributed to all affected….

20. Should be stripped off everything she’s had from the post office this includes disgusting amounts of money and bonuses… she’s a lier put her in jail 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

21. The failure of our politicians, police, regulators, to investigate something that has been apparent through the media for many years is the true story. Only too often these failures are brushed aside – Hillsborough is another major catastrophe that took years and years to eventually surface. This inquiry should also about all those in authority outside the Post Office.

22. Yawn, she deflects every question.

23. Crocodile tears, she is either lying or incompetent

24. Lives ruined by her malpractice (or if you believe her story, glaring oversights), can't be given back. I'm sure she will escape any kind of meaningful justice, because she's rich and thats always the way! True justice would have her locked up, stripped of the wealth she generated from the role at the post office and never be given a position of power ever again. The church would do well to disassociate itself from her as well!

25. This whole affair will be used in MBA degrees on how not to do things

26. Not fooling anyone, cover up let’s hop the police investigation weeds out the law breakers and they all get charged.

27. Jail time required

28. There is a plant in court…..listen closely to the first pause, a signal from someone in the court room by making a brief noise…then the Oscar nomination for best actress in the up coming post office movie-crying dry eyes-……the not well known British greedy actress …..Paula Vennels (pos)

29. The big reveal yet to come is what became of all the money paid back (by the SubPostmasters) that wasn't owed to anyone. It ended up in SOMEONE'S bank account! In the Watergate scandal of 1974 the mantra was "Follow the Money". Has that changed? Where is the MONEY?

30. Crying for herself. The question is what will the consequences be of her reprehensible actions? Look at the misery and suffering that she caused. Then just deny all knowledge of anything. She knew what was going on ages ago and chose to double down, cover it up and saw people’s lives ruined with no problem to her. She is a liar. The only thing she is sorry about is that it was all uncovered and she was caught out.

31. she said she loved the Post Office and i think thats part of the problem , she would do anything for the p/o even ruining peoples lives .

32. "I worked as hard as I possibly could to sacrifice as many sub postmasters as possible"

33. She remembered going from having 3 Rolls Royces to 1 to bring the tears out.

34. Crocodile tears ……..

35. She should be jailed

36. The only ppl who have the right to cry is the victims not the criminals at the top

37. Does she actually believe her own lies ffs..??

38. Reminds me of the Amber and Johnny show. 😂😂

39. Give back the money you made Vennells if you’re truly sorry…..keep the money if you are what we all think you are.
