Needs the gaffer's to be prosecuted for various things, pushing prosecutions in full knowledgr Horizon was seriously borked, and unreliable is tantamount to Perverting The Course Of Justice, perjury might also be a charge, and also potential Conspiracy.  Of course it will be a whitewash and the guilty gaffer's slink off with their pensions and golden handshakes untouched.

We could do with some help from you.

The inquiry into wrongful convictions must put former sub-postmasters at its heart, a lawyer says.

Horizon's bosses should be held to account - they knew something was wrong !

 

The unique issue here is that the people accused were at the very centre of their local communities, probably known and trusted by all. What happened to them was utterly inexcuseable and resulted in them losing so much.

 

Heads should roll !!

This is probably the first article I've read that questions Fujitsu's role, as software developer for the Horizon system. There's also a link to Computer Weekly who are following the scandal.

At last, Senior Post Office officials belonga jail. The evidence used in many if not all the prosecutions of Postmaster's was perjerous, as they knew that Horizon was prima facie borked.

Think we would need to see the actual government papers. Senior officials means Civil Servants and not ministers.  When it says Tony Blair was briefed in 1998 about issues with the system, I suspect this was one item within his red box full of other items.

 

More information is needed before any conclusion of any political cover up by the Blair Government.

 

The Barrister is just saying that the Government were aware that since 1998 that the IT system was an issue. They want the Government to be on the hook to pay as much compensation as possible to those impacted by this scandal.

 

I know a local couple who were wrongly accused, had their post office closed down for over 6 months, while they were under investigation regarding their accounts.  Once there was a full audit of accounts they were cleared to re-open, but they were financially impacted, so eventually had to give up their current office. 

 

The cost of compensation will run into billions and take a long time.  Agree that the Post Office management who knew the truth but allowed prosecutions to happen on false basis, should face criminal investigation and hopefully Court trials.

Stephen Byers also told the Horizon public inquiry the treatment of sub-postmasters was "shocking".

As if all this wasn't enough, the government/HMRC plan to charge tax on the compensation.

 

Dan Neidle wrote about this on Twitter and has an article on his website. He's the man who exposed Zahawi's underpayment of tax.

Post Office executives who sat on i the evidence are guilty of perverting the course of justice for continuing prosecutions in full knowledge the Horizon was seriously borked.
