Horizon IT Scandal: Postmasters await justice today

[SimonMac]

The government will step in and provide tax payers money to fund a new Post Office. A company that defrauds and falsely imprisons its employees doesn't deserve to survive.

Even though the Post Office is a PLC its 100% owned by the government still

Fujitsu were the only group that I worked with that I would say were institutionally unethical. Staff behaviour that I witnessed included bullying, dishonesty to the point of fraud, stealing work from juniors and passing it off as their own to deeply unpleasant sexual harassment.

I'm not surprised they are involved in all of this.

Oh I hadn't realised that thanks, my point still stands should they have the powers if they are operating as a PLC?

Of course just as this flawed IT system under-accounted for money, leading to these theft allegations, I imagine there will have been times when it did the opposite and over-accounted for money, leaving the sub-post masters and mistresses with unearned income.

Not that's any real consolation, mind, given the nightmare of a situation they were in due to the former.

When there was a deficit the postmaster was expected to make it up and where there was a surplus they got rapped on the knuckles for sloppy accounting and the Post Office kept the money.

Paula Vennells has resigned form the boards of Morrisons, Dunelm and is stopping (for the moment at least) being a priest

That still leaves Imperial NHS

There's a petition on 38 Degrees for Paula Vennels to be stripped of her CBE. I think it should have been set up on the parliament site but it's still a shame that not many people have signed. I would have loved to see it be officially discussed.

Please do the needful:

Yep, around 700 poor sods apparently.

Even now the Post Office only apologises when its forced to.

Post Office is a Ltd company. At Fujitsu we called it POL (Post Office Limited)
