Mr Bates v Post Office part 6 - information dead ends and accountability sinks
Description
In this episode, we look at why Post Office kept prosecuting Sub Post Masters through the lens of Dan Davies' analysis in his new book The Unaccountability Machine.
Opening grab from Mr Beer KC (Counsel Assisting) and Alisdair Cameron, CFO and former interim CE of Post Office Ltd.
Subsequent grab from Mr Blake KC (Counsel Assisting) and Graham Brander, former Post Office Investigator.
Subsequent grab from Mr Beer KC and Anne Chambers, former Fujitsu Engineer Third Line Support.
Final grab from Mr Blake KC and Paul Inwood, former Post Office Limited Contract Manager.
For thorough and detailed reporting of the Post Office Scandal, start with the reporting of Nick Wallis, including his BBC podcast, the Great Post Office Trial.
Now for some appropriately bureaucratic disclaimers....
While we have tried to be as thorough in our research as busy full time jobs and lives allow, we definitely don’t guarantee that we’ve got all the details right.
If you want rigorous reporting on Robodebt, we recommend the work of Rick Morton at the Saturday Paper, Chris Knaus and Luke Henriques-Gomes at the Guardian, Ben Eltham at Crikey, Julian Bajkowski at The Mandarin, and of course, the Robodebt Royal Commission itself.
