Re: Heads ought to roll

It isn’t any bar under health and safety legislation.

The postmasters were owed a duty of care by PO. And even in prosecuting them they were owed a duty of care in the same way the police have a duty of care to people they lock up.

There is no Crown Immunity to Health & Safety.

The directors are the ‘controlling minds’ and there is a reverse presumption of guilt. You have to demonstrate that you discharged your duties - they didn’t - they just lied to MP’s Courts etc.
