Clear to anyone with half a wit. All of the governance problems and Board of Directors failings, of oversight, fairness, ethics and strategic leadership at the Post Office are incontrovertibly connected to the #PostOfficeScandal and #Horizon.
Despite what any protestations the Post Office may proffer to the contrary (indicative).
Its difficult to imagine a more epic and catastrophic failure of corporate governance, probity and fitness for office, compliance as has been emulated in this Post Office travesty against Post Masters in the #HorizonScandal (At a hard push perhaps #Enron but no-one died, that I'm aware of).
And as mooted in the article, who of any stature or prominence would want to join the leadership of such a callously unethical and thoroughly rotten corporate structure?
And, unfortunately (given the Government's role as a key stakeholer in the scandal), its highly doubtful that Whitehall would have what it will take, or that it's proposal is anywhere near suitable.

I was going to take a day off from the #postofficescandal today but this is key breaking news and more evidence of the crumbling edifice that was once our trusty national institution. Chairman Henry Staunton is out, in a spat over who replaces outgoing non-exective director Ben Tidswell, and it looks like folk are not exactly queuing up for the role. Who can blame them? It will take a brave person indeed to go in there and take an active role in trying to sort out the mess and to get cracking with compensating the poor sub-postmasters. Any candidates you can think of Nick Gould? #poisonedchalice
