It's been known about for years and years, it was covered extensively by Private Eye. I hope the wrongly accused postmasters are heavily compensated, I think a lifetime of earnings would be a good starting point.
Have seen it on the news but don't really know what happened.
The PO accused Post Masters of stealing money when they didn't? I saw some had actually paid the money back when they did nothing wrong.
Absolutely terrible as there are going to be so many lives ruined by it.
They must have covered it up.Fucking hell, how did they not realise it was a glitch?
They knew all about it but decided sending people to prison and trying to cover up the IT failures was the best option.Fucking hell, how did they not realise it was a glitch?
At the Royal Courts of Justice in London, Lord Justice Holroyde said the Post Office "knew there were serious issues about the reliability of Horizon" and had a "clear duty to investigate" the system's defects.
But the Post Office "consistently asserted that Horizon was robust and reliable" and "effectively steamrolled over any sub-postmaster who sought to challenge its accuracy", the judge added.
Fucking hell. Bastards that covered it up should do time. Utter cunts.It was a glitch in some new software they introduced.
One woman kept making up the shortfall from her own money. She lost her house, and when she had nothing left to make the shortfall up with they prosecuted and she went to jail. She was pregnant at the time
I don't think k her story was unique. Terrible ordeal for those affected, and for their families.
Yeah. A long time. Many lives ruined.Fucking hell. Bastards that covered it up should do time. Utter cunts.

Stories like that are horrendous.one fella I heard interviewed was crying because his son had died and he said he died before he saw me clear my name which must have been heartbreaking though i'm sure his son knew he was innocent.
How can they do that with the laws around foi?The scandal continues, appalling.
