...and don't tell me there is a post already there isn't this is a new one on a new development.

[ToraToraTora]

....now give Bates/Hamilton their Ks.

before it was "taken"....

it's in one of the old threads none the less. A welcome move I suppose but in a world of Baroness Mones a CBE is pretty low-grade stuff; much more reparation is due.

"I am truly sorry for the devastation caused to the sub-postmasters and their families, whose lives were torn apart by being wrongly accused and wrongly prosecuted as a result of the Horizon system."

translation:

"I am truly sad that we could not keep this under the radar and ride rough shod over the innocents rather than tell the truth of our incompetance and blind belief in some software rather than common sense"

Pity you cannot give yourself BA at 13:51, TTT. Ne'er a truer post on AB, imo.

The 'Christian' ought never to have been awarded it in the first place. And, knowing what she did, she ought never to have accepted the award.

She is long overdue an apearance or two in court.

It's a shame it took the additional exposure of a TV drama, and the ensuing petition to make her do the right thing.

What a horrible woman she is.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes Andy, at best she passed by on the other side at worst she was one of the robbers.

Why drag in religion? There are good and bad people & good and bad acts committed in all religions, just as there out.  What's your point ?

[Khandro]

Luke 15:10

//tell the truth of our incompetance and blind belief in some software//

Rather than blind belief I think they were well aware it was faulty. This is the most disgraceful aspect of it.

[andy-hughes]

Khandro  - If you set yourself up as a superior individual, as fervents do, then the luxury of hypocrisy is denied to you because surely, it will come back to bite you in your holier-than-thou backside.

This harridan has preached about love, compassion, and helping your fellow man in crisis, and in her life, she has lived none of those values.

If you look up the word 'hypocrite', there would be a picture of her next to it, no doubt smiling in a dog collar.

She gives proper Christians a bad name, but it's not all bad news, she is a poster girl for fervents everywhere.

khandro: "Why drag in religion? There are good and bad people & good and bad acts committed in all religions, just as there out.  What's your point ?" - seriously? AH has more patience than me.

Got to say, khandro, her claim to Christianity does convey a rather false image of her integrity.

Understatement Of The Year, and we're not even through January!!

[Khandro]

Self-reproach and repentence are Christian virtues.

What if she is sincere, what do you say then?

[naomi24]

I don't believe she is sincere.  It wasn't her idea to return the gong.

[naomi24]

I haven't yet watched the TV drama about this but did no one ever ask 'why are there suddenly so many crooks and fraudsters surfacing?'

Naomi - exactly my thoughts. Anybody with more than one working brain cell would be suspicious when, shortly after introducing some new accounting software, lots of accounting went awry.
