    But she has handed back her gong. Surely that’s enough. Well looks like she is hoping so.
    I hope she ends up in a prison cell along with others.

    JLR and TCS are both companies within the Tata Group. Which probably makes it even worse.

    They are indeed. They actually took me back as a contractor paying me more than when I was a permie. But the terms of my early retirement said that I couldn't work for TATA again and I was kicked out after six months when some gobshyte reported me to HR. I then went to TATA Steel as a contractor at Scunny for another 7 months only finishing because they were in trouble and kicked out all contractors (late 2016).

    That pesky but useless WhatsApp has reared it's head in the enquiry today.... apparently the Post Office top brass have been using WhatsApp for several years... however they didn't think it necessary to provide the data as Paula Vennells says she never used it to discuss horizon.... do I believe her? do I ****... and neither does the investigating KC.

    It came out yesterday that PO Ltd, counted the compensation payouts as business losses to keep their tax bill down, but failed to include them in the calculations for Directors bonus payments.... the BBC were talking about a £100m discrepancy... if that's not a case for a jail sentence or two there's something sadly wrong.
