They might not be household names, but Ron Warmington and Ian Henderson, played a pivotal role in uncovering what has been called the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history. The two forensic accountants gave evidence today at the ongoing inquiry looking into the scandal that ruined the lives of over 900 subpostmasters. The accountants who were hired and subsequently sacked said their work was constantly sabotaged by the Post Office's senior management.

If Vennells and her cohorts are NOT imprisoned then there something very wrong going on.

The inquiry lawyer is an absolute delight at getting to the crux of the issues.

Brave, honest and highly competent men.

Any convictions over this, and found guilty, should not paid for by the taxpayers. Those convicted should pay compensation to the victims. Surely this is proceeds of crime. I wouldn't care if they are left begging on streets.

Goodness, gracious me! Somebody whose memory hasn’t failed, and someone who can give immediate direct and simple answers to questions!

"The largest injustice in British history". Wow, that is a high bar.

How did the courts not notice that an unusually high number of subpostmasters were getting prosecuted for the same thing and not stop to think why? It makes the courts look embarrassing, they should have the cleverest of society in its buildings.

Watching these 2 answer Jason Beers questions was a display of hyper competency on all sides

Wow! This refreshingly honest testimony! What a contrast to months of so many lies, deflections and “memory lapses”.
