Lacking in integrity
The Post Office had a new system called Horizon from Fujitsu. The Horizon system was so full of bugs it made it look as though sub-postmasters had taken money from the Post Office. They hadn't, and the Post Office knew this. They were so keen to preserve the "reputation" of the Post Office that they prosecuted sub-postmasters even though they knew they were innocent. It is obscene the way this organisation blamed innocent people who were fined, sent to prison and given criminal records; some even committed suicide. If you consider using the Post Office, you should watch the BBC Panorama TV programme "The Post Office Scandal" from 2022 available on BBC iPlayer, the ITV series Mr Bates vs The Post Office 2024, and the ITV documentary Mr Bates vs the Post Office: The Real Story. The Post Office covered up the errors that they knew about. They put money and the Post Office brand above people's lives and livelihoods. Outrageous. The even sacked Second Sight, the independent company appointed to investigate malpractice within the Post Office, and ordered Second Sight to destroy their documentation. They were clearly trying to cover their tracks. We need to have the results of the inquiry made public. "The Court of Appeal found that the Post Office had abused the criminal justice system" (source: Panorama) The CEO of the Post Office at the time was ordained Anglican priest — this venal woman was rewarded with a CBE when she left the Post Office in 2019. Clearly, this honour should be stripped from her, and there is a petition to demand this. The Post Office had been informed that the convictions were unsafe. The Post Office deliberately withheld details of the problems with the Horizon system, thus perverting the course of justice. This is not just a matter of opinion, this is fact. This scandal has been going on for years; it's high time the sub-postmasters received compensation and that their pensions are reinstated. An apology is not enough. *** I must make it clear that there is no criticism of individual postmasters. These people are innocent victims of an organisation lacking in integrity. ***
