I’M a motorcyclist and four years ago I took my bike for its MOT. The garage advised me that there were two “recalls” on my bike.
Yamaha informed me that the ignition barrel was faulty, and they had had several complaints regarding this issue. A faulty batch of barrels had been built into bikes between certain years.
They had a mechanism in place to monitor the same complaint on their bikes.

Well done them, so my simple question is this: where was the Post Office mechanism to monitor the so-called “stealing and fraud” in so many branches the length and breadth of the country? How many cases does it take to realise that something is seriously wrong?
Did they honestly think that 10, 50, 100, 550 subpostmasters were all “at it”?
It beggars belief how this could have happened.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
