Topic: The Post Office Scandal

More revealed.

I'd be amazed if anyone is held to account, over this:

Cameron government knew Post Office ditched Horizon IT investigation

David Cameron's government knew the Post Office had ditched a secret investigation that might have helped wrongly accused postmasters prove their innocence, the BBC can reveal.

Cameron’s too busy traipsing about the Falklands, and whatever he’s up to there, only government knows

No apology necessary, @Fortneef. It is one of those situations where we all are agreed on the facts, so it really does come down to opinion. And since there is no ideal solution, I am not even sure of my own opinion.

Thanks for your magnanimity

I think what set me off was the fact that the Post Office are even now deliberately and dishonestly exaggerating the amount of real criminality in the pool of convicted subpostmasters in order to minimise the Post Office's guilt.

I've not been reading about it. But that would come as little surprise to me after their serially appalling behaviour. There needs to be a criminal investigation of PO management and prosecutors.

A little known (and advertised) fact, is that the Horizon system was originally created for the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).  However, they rejected it, due to flaws in the system.

Post Office knew its defence was false

This idiot, being questioned today, is taking the enquiry to a whole new level. In charge of the whole circus but didn’t know the PO instigated its own prosecutions. Also, he can’t remember any detail half the time.

I posted this earlier in another thread but it should probably be here really:-

One of the investigators had not provided a written witness statement so they sent round the Sheriff's with a Section 21 notice - which focused his mind! (I think he shit himself).
