        A bit of local trivia - Until a couple of years ago, she was also a church minister in Bromham.

            Agreed.

            Let’s see if Davey & Starmer now do the same for their incompetence & involvement, or rather lack of to be more accurate.

              Desperate.

              The Post Office had it's own powers to brings prosecutions. Surely nowt to do with Starmer?

                The DPP has the power to review and take over proceedings if there is any case for it. Given the circumstances that suddenly PostMasters are going rogue he should have been aware.

                Even now, if you appeal against your conviction, the Post Office judge if it's valid.
                All control of this should be taken out of the hands of the PO

              Agree & fair play to ITV ,
              however it really shouldn't have to take a prime time drama to highlight the miscarriage of justice. Talk about the media news jumping on the bandwagon given this issue first appeared in 1999. If this went straight to C5 the media wouldn't still give a shit which boils my piss..

                Yep, although to be fair there were some publications banging the drum for a while on it.

                I guess there's no money in proper investigative journalism these days, much easier to pay some donut a lot of money to let us know how worthless his opinions are!

                The thing I can never quite get my head around - the Post Office just accepted hundreds of their postmasters were criminals? And that theft was a common thing and widespread within their institution? No one thought ever to challenge the system?

                  Yes, it's another example of how these highly vaunted execs that we are told that we simply must pay millions to in order to get the "best talent" are constantly failing to do some of the very basics.

                  But the way that Horizon system was "working" must surely break accounting laws too. I suspect their auditors are in for a shoeing at some point, and deservedly so. And it's certainly no way to run an IT system.

                    They're paid the big money because of the level of responsibility as well.

                    Responsibility that they duck, almost without fail.

                    They were probably sitting around the boardroom table , rubbing their hands together and congratulating each other on finally catching these criminals that had been stealing money for years and now saving the Post Office money and the Fujitsu investment paying for itself !!

                        Surely the thought process was more is it the IT system we have invested millions into and have been assuring everybody works and would cost another fortune to correct or replace and probably cost us our jobs or can we blame a few hundred Post Masters we can intimidate and try and hush it up allegedly.

                        Incompetence was the sole problem. I can't believe that no one picked up that after Horizon was installed the number of incidents jump to 3,500. That must have been picked up at all levels from bottom to top - yet no review took place. Every sub postmaster spoken to was told they were the only ones involved. That was a blatant lie that must have come from the top to cover it up and protect jobs, bonuses, reputations etc.

                          The question that seems fundamental is were Fujitsu working with the Post Offices full knowledge doing all these back door overnight corrections whilst maintaining the line only the Post Master can input to Horizon or did the senior Post Office management not know?

                          Either way it was a huge cover up and one of the worst examples of abuse of power.

                            It's way beyond incompetence IMO. The level of vindictiveness involved to continually pursue it is staggering.

                              indeed, pay all victims at least £250k now as a downpayment on compensation yet to be finalised - which could well be in the millions for some.

                                          Pretty sure debt and the deficit have been higher under this Tory government than they were in 2010.

                                              Yes, it’s definitely people wanting to do good that are the problem. Get rid of them and everything will be fine

                                                Are you a leader writer for the Daily Mail?

                                                Teachers and NHS staff are attacked by the right-wing media every time they take industrial action, by the way.

                                                By "mental health" do you mean "mental I'll-health"? This is soaring because of the despicable cutting of services to give tax cuts to rich b******s.

                                                "Woke" means treating people as people, not as "others".

                                            You do realise that the NHS, law and order and border controls have all deteriorated over the past decade or so. All while we've had some of the most right wing governments in our history.

                                              You're not a real person, surely?

                                                More real than you likely and I've earned my pension without claiming benefits along the way.

                                                  Have you children?

                                                  Have you claimed Child Benefit, not had to pay for their prescriptions if they were ill, nor had a single day off sick?

                                                  And what has your pension got to do with you spouting utter nonsense on here?

                                                  Bizarre.
