  1. Misled? If so, then the Treasury did, too. Sarah Munby's briefing of Henry Staunton shows he was not aware of the culture difference between the Public Sector and Civil Service, which is at the heart of this row. I worked in the Group Treasury, Chief Dealer of an FT-100 Company for a decade before moving into the International Civil Service, which has very little conception of Finance: your budget is an absolute and you must live within it, come what may. If a new activity is added, you may have another to go with it, it's indexed annually, but each budget is a stand-alone module. That's a very different thing from the ongoing concern and capital conception of most businesses, making the Post Office rather a fake Company. The problem here is the size of the criminal compensation arising. The force the culture change, I think prison time must result, including the senior Civil Servants who're behind Munby. They don't realise the human consequences of their acts, and that makes manslaughter a reality. The idea of Corporate Manslaughter disengages the direct responsibility of those decisions, and so must be put out of mind, as does Crown Immunity. This has engaged the ECHR right to life.
