I saw this, shocking, she literally could have froze to death, how can you just leave someone laying on the ground?

Name and shame him and his nationality.

No if you name him
he would not be able to work in that area

Make Sure he knows he did wrong.

Won't go down well with Royal Mail or his colleagues ~ too knackered what a ridiculous excuse ! I hope they sack him.

...it’s really difficult to know what to say with this, it’s so devaluing her life and disregarding her safety...it’s very, very sad...I hope that she’s recovering well....

Most people would help.

It's just that it gets highlighted when someone doesn't.

He must be a sociopath to walk away like that

Up since 9...hardly the crack of dawn mate

i've helped complete strangers who had fallen ill a couple of times, it is inconceivable to me to walk away from someone who is clearly in difficulty. However, it has nothing to do with his job, he is just a soulless individual

Even if he couldn’t help for whatever reason, he had plenty of ways he could have got her help. Disgraceful.

I would imagine hes wandered right up to that camera in the past to post letters..

Get his ugly mug up on the net.

Wouldn't be surprised if he was one of those abslutely terrified of covid (usually, those at very low risk from it, oddly.) and thats why he refused. Seen a fair bit of really crappy behaviour in the past year or so, and it often turns out its a 'omg, you might cough!' thing, rather than totally cold hearted. I blame the media. Tbh.

That's possible but, if so, I'm surprised he didn't vocalise that or mention "social distancing". Either way... I find it hard to believe he didn't have a phone? Or couldn't alert a neighbour?

Well yeah, leaving her was bad enough, but then not even reporting it or getting anyone else who could help..makes it quite unforgivable, rather than 'he was a bit of a twat'

I think I heard him mention Covid rules....but that shouldn’t have stopped him getting some help..

...I understand that there might have been fear of direct contact with the lady but it wasn’t a choice of one thing or another with nothing in between in the way of options to help...to phone emergency services for instance and to have asked for their guidance in helping her...and the freezing weather temperatures atm plus the obvious older age of the lady was obviously extremely dangerous for her to be left for even a short time...anyway, we are very human fearful atm and I don’t know anything about him or what his reasons were for his actions and I hate the thought of anyone losing their job at a time like this but it is being investigated...we may find out more but we may not...I’m so glad that she seems to be recovering...
