Morning all!
I have two new-ish blog posts to tell you about. Each picked something interesting up from Post Office CEO Nick Read’s first two days of evidence to the Inquiry.
Day 1 – The Untouchables: someone’s lying
Day 2 – Post Office misleads public inquiry over compensation
There have, as you can imagine, been plenty of other takes on Read’s evidence. Here are a few:
Post Office Inquiry: Outgoing CEO Nick Read says he was told ‘not to dig into past’ – ITV News
Post Office inquiry: CEO Nick Read says he doesn’t need to clear his name after criticism – Sky News
Dead postmistress’ plea to end compensation delay – BBC
Under-fire Nick Read was unprepared for Post Office challenge – Computer Weekly
and quite the piece from The Times’ Tom Witherow as a curtain-raiser to Read’s evidence:
Post Office boss got £30k extra bonus without official approval
It’s all going off.
Karl has got a medal!
Karl Flinders from Computer Weekly has won a medal for his work on the Post Office scandal! Karl got it from BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT. A well-deserved accolade for his work.
Thanks to everyone who has joined the secret emailers this month – it’s great to have you around. I am travelling to Poland today so will have difficulty watching the live feed of Day 3 from the Inquiry. This means I may not get a third in the trilogy of Nick Read blog posts up until Monday.
Nonetheless I hope the above is enough to be getting on with until then. Have a great weekend!
Nick
