And what have the Post Office been doing over the past few months, they tried to get the scripts altered for the drama.
And we know why now both with what this RM investigator has said & this breaking news about unpaid tax

One if the investigations Bradshaw did, involved a sub - postmistress who said sometrhing about not opening upon time and he said something like "Get up earlier!". when he was questioned if this was standard for him to say anything about something like he said "No" & I believe he had lawyers too! I am sure once or twice he tried to shift blame.
Not only that, there was mention of two sub postmasters in Scotland only being acquitted this week.

The Post Office can't take out private prosecutions up here. The prosecutions were conducted by the Procurator Fiscal.
There's a lot of questions being asked as to why prosecutions were still taking place after the horizon problems came to light.
The Lord Advocate has been summoned to Parliament.

From the Sunday Times re Vennells and her CBE.
Quote:A source suggested Vennells, a part-time priest who had an unremarkable business career until she ran the Post Office from 2012 to 2019, was being rewarded by the government for taking a tough approach to controlling costs, including by refusing to acknowledge wrongdoing in its pursuit of sub-postmasters.
Until 2015, the Post Office continued to bring private prosecutions over cash shortfalls at branches that were actually caused by glitches in an IT system supplied by the Japanese giant Fujitsu. "This was her reward for bending her conscience and holding the line," the source claimed. A second source, a senior civil servant at the time, recalled that there had been a view among some in government that Vennells had "inherited" the Horizon scandal and was "clearing up rather than being the cause".

Humza wants the impending Westminster legislation to exonerate the Subpostmasters, en masse, to cover Scotland as well.
Criminal Justice is a fully devolved matter. Sort it out yourself Mr 'I want independence'

^Devolved criminal Justice seems to be a bit too busy with his Brother In Law. That's his actual Brother In Law the drug dealer and not the pretend one who Mr & Mrs Humza were trying to get evacuated from Gaza
