Not just "got away". Paula Vennell was chief executive officer of Post Office Limited from 2012 to 2019. She routinely denied there were problems with its Horizon IT system including to a Parliamentary Select Committee.
I am truly sorry we were unable to find both a solution and a resolution outside of litigation and for the distress this caused.
She was awarded a CBE in 2019 "for services to the Post Office and to charity"
One way would be to place responsibility and retribution where it is due. We can happily send someone to prison for 12 years for driving dangerously, but allow people who caused multiple deaths, mental breakdowns and more to get away scott free. It's disgusting.

Unbelievable. People died because of this woman and her team. Same with the Fujitsu bunch. Do we not care any more? It's pathetic.
"We" care, but we have little to no influence to affect anything. Same in UK politics. There has to be a better way...
