The Post Office Scandal Explained

289 million in compensation to 2000+ victims? So what just under 150k each for jail and losing your job over something you didn't do

How do you know a system isn't perfect. Their founders say "our system is perfect." No respectable developer will ever call their creation "perfect."

The worst part is that they repeatedly told sub-postmasters that no-one else was having issues with the system when they knew that thousands were reporting problems. If this happened today, they would very quickly find others online and find they had been lied to.

There was one bloke involved, he ended up with anxiety and depression as a result of the court case and the debt they wrongly sentenced him for. He went to a therapist, telling them he had been victimised and unfairly persecuted by the Post Office. One of the signs of really severe mental illness, is delusions of persecution by government agencies. So he ended up being sectioned under the mental health act. When he was literally telling the truth the whole time. Staggeringly awful.

Fujitsu, Post office and government got away with just an automated apology email.

Those that choose to suppress the truth, should be the ones in jail for many many years

A judge's role in a trial is to ensure a fair trial takes place. No one is talking about how these judges failed to do their one job. Every judge involved should also be held accountable.

The saddest thing is that even with the resurgence of media attention, all focus is on those awaiting compensation and very little is mentioned of the fact people were driven to take their own lives. For no reason ofher than the incompetence and greed of others. Miscarriage of justice is a massive understatement.

Worst thing is, the woman in charge got a knighthood, even after it all came to light.

It's astonishing that no one from Fujitsu went to jail. People actually lost their lives over this.
