oldypigeonpopper Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 As above, I don't think as yet anyone in the Hierarchy of the post office or Horizon has been brought to task, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manthing Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 They should be treated in the same fair and open handed way they treated those they accused. Failing that. Nail the **** to the post office tower with rusty nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 They knew about the complete unreliability of the Horizon system at least 15 years ago. It is a disgrace that those who knew are not facing justice. It was common knowledge outside of the Post Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Those who knew what was happening, should be facing time in prison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicW Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 There are a lot of instances of major defects and mismanagement being disclosed but do the people in charge ever get charged or even get their names in the public eye. Of course they don't, did you see the person in charge of the maternity sections at the two hospitals named and shamed, did you see the person in charge of those same hospitals made public. "The buck stops here." said someone in charge once, and so it should but it rarely does. Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Worst UK miscarriage of justice this Country has seen. There should be heads rolling by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Sadly typical of the set up here, be as crooked as you like, destroy people and their lives and walk away scott free? Seemingly the upper tiers are untouchable but the pay keeps on rolling in whereas the victims sometimes sacrifice their lives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Atrocious scandal of injustice which makes me so so angry, but then it’s only one of several which does so. I despise injustice and those responsible for it. There is something very very wrong when those responsible for making such decisions are never held accountable.

wymberley Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Fact 1 The more you have, the harder you'll fight to keep it. Fact 2 There's good reason why we're called, 'subjects'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted April 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Hello, thanks for the replies, i put this post on after watching a report where an innocent man working hard with his wife in their post office accused of stealing money taking his life, and many 100s went through hell even prison when it was widely known that it was the Horizon computer system at fault, absolute scandal , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 It's the old, old story of large IT projects. The IT bods will have sold senior management the usual story that there is absolutely no problem with the software and that it went through beta testing faultlessly. As soon as it is exposed to real life data and normal humans using it, the flaws show up, but the IT lot rarely, if ever, admit to having cocked anything up and senior management, having spent an arm and a leg on a crock of ****, pour all the blame downwards. Not, of course, that it has ever happened to me ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armsid Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Saw the report on bbc1 and the info the presenter showed to the lawyer for one of the post office owners stated that every effort made to protect the bosses and the Horizon system .They knew there was problems but as stated the higher up the tree you are the safer you are. There seems to be a culture in this country you can go bust take lots of smaller companies with you rob pension funds break banks cause all sorts of trouble for the country its citizens the environment cause deaths in war by lying and get highly rewarded for it. This culture needs jailing at the least and treated to the same justice as the postmasters were ie bankrupted given criminal convictions then let them relish on what they have left which should be zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 The Prosecution should have provided full disclosure, including the known unreliability of Horizon. They didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
