@tjsingletonjr@Rongwrong_@uncle_deluge Sorry, yes i take your point. You can trace name changes from Ireland for example and the spelling has changed by time of US census. Marriage certificates, census all first hand examples. I don't think they worried as long as it sounded about right.
@DavidDo07512651@StiffNips2 Your legal knowledge seems to go from knowing process and responsability to nil. You're not convincing at all. Its also a half assed story as well.
The former TV historian waged a legal campaign to find out who had spoken to The Post. A year later, we met him in court.

POST OFFICE LAWYER WHO REFUSED TO TESTIFY NOW FACES HER OWN TRIBUNAL
Jane MacLeod ran the Post Office legal department from 2015 to 2019. That is the exact window when the organisation was busy defending itself against the subpostmasters it had already destroyed.
In 2024 the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry @PostOffInquiry asked her to come and explain herself. She said no. She offered a written statement instead and argued too much time had passed for her memory to matter.
Inquiry chair Sir Wyn Williams offered to pay her flights and hotel from Australia where she now lives. She still refused, in person or by video link. He admitted publicly that forcing her back would need a criminal conviction and possibly extradition. That process would outlast most subpostmasters patience for justice. So she walked.
Now the Solicitors Regulation Authority @sra_solicitors has referred her to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. The allegation covers April to July 2024, when she failed to cooperate fully with the Inquiry. She is also named as a significant individual in the Metropolitan Police investigation Operation Olympos.
When @BBC cameras doorstepped her about documents suggesting the Post Office lied about knowing Horizon was faulty, her answer was no comment. A strong move from someone who used to run a legal team built on telling the public the opposite.
Over 900 subpostmasters were wrongly prosecuted between 1999 and 2009 because of broken Fujitsu software. Lives and marriages were wrecked while people in her position drafted the legal advice that kept the lie standing.
A second solicitor, Nick Gould, has also been referred, over how he charged exonerated subpostmistresses for help after their convictions were quashed.
dodging a public inquiry from the other side of the planet while your victims are still waiting for compensation says plenty on its own.

Twenty-five years ago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made a bold move that most universities would never dare.
Instead of locking its world-class course materials behind campus walls, MIT decided to put nearly its entire curriculum online, completely free for anyone with an internet connection.
That decision gave birth to MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW).
What began as a bold experiment in 2001 has become one of the most significant educational initiatives in history.
Today, OCW provides materials from more than 2,500 undergraduate and graduate courses across virtually every discipline: physics, engineering, artificial intelligence, economics, biology, mathematics, computer science, and many more.
Anyone can access lecture notes, problem sets, exams, syllabi, and a growing library of video lectures, with no tuition, no application, and no account required.
According to MIT, more than 500 million people worldwide have used these resources over the past 25 years.
The impact has been profound. Students use it to ace exams, explore new fields, and launch careers. Educators around the globe integrate the materials into their own teaching. Many learners credit OCW with helping them pass professional certifications and unlock new opportunities.
Beyond its direct benefits, OpenCourseWare helped spark the global open education movement, inspiring dozens of other universities to share their knowledge freely online.
Even more impressive: the project was originally planned as a 10-year initiative. A quarter-century later, it's still expanding.
MIT now aims to reach 1 billion learners in the coming decade, while enhancing the experience with powerful new AI-powered learning tools.
@Joe__Bassey These horrors where uncovered by what became the Congo Reform Association. Two traders from Liverpool, Morel and Casement.Who effectivley got it stopped.
In March 2026, Ghana led a United Nations resolution calling for reparations for the transatlantic slave trade.
In this article, Alistair Parker examines the history of slavery within what is now Ghana, the role of African states and traders in slave trading networks, and British efforts to suppress slavery and slave raiding during the colonial period.

A team at Oxford built a search engine for every drug the NHS prescribes, and it has quietly saved the health service millions.
It's called OpenPrescribing.
The NHS publishes its full prescribing dataset every month. It's 700 million rows of raw numbers nobody could actually read. So Oxford built a tool that turns it into live charts in seconds.
You type a drug name. It shows you which practices over-prescribe it, which regions are slow to follow new guidelines, and where the money is being wasted.
β Search any drug across any GP practice in England
β Find safety and cost outliers instantly
β 70+ ready-made quality measures
β Updates monthly, automatically
β Free, open source, MIT licensed
20,000 people use it every month. Doctors. Researchers. Journalists.
Public data that sat unreadable for years is now one search away.

Did you know that when people say "98% of climate scientists agree", they're talking about 75 people responding to a 2 question survey 17 years ago?
The more you know.
