This has been going on for twenty-five years. The system was originally rolled out in 1999. I've been hearing stuff about this case off and on for about a decade now.
Why the living fuck isn't everyone involved with every step of this process behind bars.
The wildest shit is it's not even Fujitsu to blame! It's some fucking idiots in charge at Royal Mail who literally fraudulently edited statements from Fujitsu to claim that there were no errors and the system was working.
They used these false statements as justification to prosecute, imprison, and fine hundreds of Postal Employees.
What a waste of time, money, resources, and human fucking life.
What infuriates me is that the only reason anyone gave a shit is because ITV made a (frankly, okayish) drama about the scandal. Now, politicians are ripping the law apart to save face, alongside trying to point fingers away from those responsible. Jail time is absolutely needed. People have had their entire careers ruined by this, and while they all deserve a huge payout, no amount of money will fix the damage caused.
Yeah what's the charges for destruction of evidence? This should absolutely be treated as a criminal matter
Did you miss that it was only poor People that were imprisoned?
Im so confused. They’ve been trying to arrest as many QA people as possible 😎
Was it now the Post office and not Royal mail. I think these are separate
Weren't there also Fujitsu employees in the Braknell office also remote connecting to Horizon terminals and post offices and fucking with the numbers in there?
