The company behind the computer glitch and supplied the the system to the post office have not paid a penny in compensation.
Also and this is hard to believe but they are still getting contracts off the government
Many people committed suicide because of this, RIP
Fujitsu were far from faultless. But the PO did far worse IMHO.
Even after it was known that the system was faulty…stuff happens…the PO maintained it was not faulty.
Errors happen in real life. it is how you deal with them that matters.
Fujitsu made errors, PO told lies.
And a few individuals in Fujitsu deserve praise as whistle-blowers.

Nothing wrong with reading the Williams Report etc, but another excellent source on the story and in 15min chunks for when you are driving motorways or chilling is from the BBC. It does total hours of listening all in, and it is from one of the first journalists to cover the story, Nick Wallis, from 2011 when he was on local radio.
dont forget starmers part in it putting all these people in jail. oh wait he was just the boss it wasnt him i keep forgetting that bit
Please tell us about it then.
What I would like to know, and as far as I know it’s never been mentioned, is where did all the ‘stolen’ money go? The branch accounts ‘showed’ a shortfall so is the money with Fujitsu or the Post Office or is it in some sticky fingered computer programmers bank account somewhere?
I could be totally wrong but i think it was a computer error and the amount of money was never there
But saying that they made the postmasters pay what they thought was the shortfall
So what happened to the money the postmasters paid back

That’s basically it. End of each day the computer/till said should be say £500 in there . Staff cashing p ever might counting it realising it was short most thought maybe I short changed someone or what ever there’s only £480 so they were putting the extra £20 in put there pocket to make it right.
Ok might been more than £20 short but get the idea. Years later turns out the computers were wrong and there was never a shortfall every night
From Jan last year
“Money wrongfully taken from victims of the Horizon scandal may have gone into the pay of Post Office executives, MPs have been told.
Nick Read, chief executive of the Post Office, said the company has still “not got to the bottom of” what happened to the cash paid by sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses in a bid to cover the false financial black holes created by the faulty Horizon software.”
I don’t know what the Williams report says.
You mean you don’t know…or is it just a bit of inconvenient truth…still at least Boris wasn’t in charge eh, sure you would know then.
Speaking of inconvenient truths,.as in the specific case of the woman doing time for '‘hurty words’'it seems Starmer also knew nothing about this..what a coincidence eh?
Seems he has a memory lapse condition.
Does his memory lapse apply to the post mistress accused of fraud in this outrage, who had her kids taken into care and commited suicude in a hostel (a proper ‘‘hostel’’ this time, not a 4 star hotel fyi.)

What is your point?
Has anyone at any time said the CPS prosecutions were unsound?
Very certainly the PO prosecutions have been heavily criticised.
The article seems accurate to me. Whilst head of the CPS Starmer had 4,000,000 cases, and 7,000 staff. Of those cases, 11 concerned Horizon somehow and 3 resulted in convictions.
A “memory lapse”? Who would expect him to remember every event from that time ago?
At that time no one in the judiciary was aware of the flaws in the Post Office.
If you are aware of an accident ten years ago you will surely remember it.
If some one said you knocked a cyclist over ten years ago, and you were unaware at the time, could you remember every Stop, Give Way, and Traffic Light?

Well? Was that a CPS case?
Was Starmer involved anywhere at all in that case?
An old quote of mine applies here I reckon.
So? Was Starmer involved in any suspect cases?
Starmer himself said there were cases that shouldnt of been tried. He just claimed he knew nothing. Maybe he was too busy making sure savil and his other mates escaped prosecution.
Incidently talking of letting the pedos go free…this cobblers about him changing the law while he was in the cps designed to make him look whiter than snow over his shambolic cover up of the rapegangs the only legislation he changed was victims could be prosecuted if the rappist was found innocent
Starmer was the head honcho, he was responsible for everything in that field…the buck stopped with him…that was his ‘paygrade’
As for suspect cases…and I’m playing right in your hands here to be bombarded with kin links…
Was Jimmy Saville not mentioned somewhere along the line.
Reckon that comes under the heading of suspect,(but no doubt he has well covered his arse on that score.soon to be revealed by his unofficial TN Apologist.)
Starmer was the head of the CPS. Yes.
So, as I have already asked, was he responsible for the cases you mentioned?
Not to be crude but i susspect his arse was anything but covered…
Oh…youve ‘‘Already asked’’ have you.
Get off yer high 'kin horse, stop being so pompous, and just say what you are lining up to say and setting me up to be able say it will ya…ffs.
Put us all out of our misery.
