No amount of compensation can make up for the trauma this has caused these post office employees

​@@mrtee3477anything under 20 million is a disgrace. They knew that it was faulty. They send trainers that saw they did everything right and still the programm showed it was wrong. They got beaten up by people in their communities. All of them had issues and the Post office knew about it bit claimed they are the only ones having issues. The Post prosecuted them knowing it was the programms issue. The judges didn't do their job correctly not once did they question the system. They had so many cases and didn't realized the pattern. They waited so long to be compensated. That's an outrage on itself. The society did them wrong. And so society has to pay up.

What I don't understand is how they didn't check for something else when this was happening in different Post Offices. OK, we can have a rogue employee here and there. But when you have more than 900 people on the same situation, something else is happening...

Because I would imagine nobody wants to take action or responsibility. It would mean admitting a problem. I hope everyone is compensated, not that that would make up for the years of mental health issues for all of them and families included. The company for the software needs to be shut down and held accountable and the postal service for not taking action.

the management of the post office and Fujitsu the company that created and operated the software knew it was faulty. The people working in the helpline call centres knew it was faulty and were ordered to lie to post masters and tell them it wasn't. Everyone involved knew the post masters were not guilty. The prosecutions were all about covering up the fact that the computer system the post office had spent 90 million pounds on was funder mentally broken from the start. This wasn't a mistake, it was a deliberate cover-up to try to protect the organisation from the consequences of its own failures at the expense of ordinary people who'd done nothing wrong

Mind you this is the same country that left the EU because they said they’d be better off it. And see where they are now. 💩

Pure evil

As having been a postal worker in the US, I would have thought this horrible treatment would have been in our country. Postal workers are under fire everyday. I give my most sincere support for these poor people.

The problem in the Britain is that the Post Office is partly privatized with the Royal Mail being the privatized section which is why the British government can sue these two individuals for compensation in court. Completely different than USPS which is a government entity.

Thank you USPS workers. The USPS is such an essential service. I don't care if it's "profitable" or not. It's an excellent service.

Hope they justly get compensation. Been following the Mr Bates vs the Post office drama. Felt for them. Just everyday people trying to earn a living

Bureaucrats responsible must face trail. The software was faulty and the alarm bells and phone calls were ignored.

*the danger of corrupt Conservatives covering their arses

This is insane!!!

Imprisonment for law abiding post office workers being exposed to HMP Prisons life must of been horrific for them and were extremely vulnerable

Common people have no access, no means to defend themselves in court, that's a privilege for the rich

The lazieness that the post office would not even investigate and was so sure of itself. Then it's proven only in court. My goodness, those monsters have to pay for what they did.

At the *VERY* least give them back their money with interest!

HOW DISGRACEFUL! The most painful thing is that all those people died without seeing the day when justice was served. I hope they will be fully compensated financially, but the emotional harm, and the wasted years in misery cannot be here with money.

Many others came and were happy stay. Using this scandal to feel better about leaving is ridiculous, unless You was a post office worker.

What a shambles. And nobody figured out that there might be a common issue after 100's of postmasters are being convicted?

bureaucrats stealing money and scapegoating rank and file, is quite normal

Feeling so sad. Believing simple devices and ignoring the value of the human

This is the rot which is also known as England. It exists on many levels, environmental pollution, workplace dysfunctionality etc.

in the UK those with money and power are never guilty of anything. Those who work hard for little money are guilty of everything, especially the crimes committed by the rich. It's always been that way to some extent. We never really got rid of our aristocrats here in the UK, just put them in suits and made them CEOs and MPs, and they kept their expectation of impunity and entitlement. But after 14 years of corrupt tory government its gotten soo much worse. The fish rots from the head down

It's so true..there is little justice in the UK - look at the 3 billion lost because of the PPE scandal - when powerful figures swung the contracts their way! I doubt there will be court cases involving these figures. No wonder people are voting with their feet - over 500,000 Brits emigrate each year...high taxes and government corruption are important factors...

My first thought would've been that there is something wrong with the software

Speechless

Folks need to vote for representation that will enact a legislative change that punishes this abuse of accountability and power to ruin good peoples lives. It's too rare that these bureaucracies who hold such power are punished. There needs to be a since of urgency and responsibility not indifference and immunity. Names need to be named and punishments need to lead to restitution.

Horrible situation

what a shame

No wonder, Fujitsu??? Japanese companies are worst when it comes to software!

It would be interesting if they would explain how the software worked. I imagine an audit of accounts would show that there is no fraud. What did the software explain that a standard audit of the ledger show?

How trusting a piece of malware can ruin lives. How come this could happen? How come this piece of software wasn't tested and audited correctly? There're individuals that have to be liable for this nonsense for so many years.

The post office apologized for past mistakes? Did they accept the apologies of those sub-postmasters? Or did they prosecute them?

Someone programmed it so,, that the computer didn't just decide to destroy people's lives😢😢😢

Don't bother reading the comments! Just UK haters here 😅

Technically the money was and is still in the hand of the Post even if not shown in the account or balance. Post and Fujisu should provision for big money loss for such a blatant failure 😅
