They certainly knew at the beginning. Horizon was initially commissioned from Fujitsu to manage the benefits systems, but all the bugs meant that it turned out to be too unreliable for this. This was a big thing in government at the time, they all knew. But rather than abandon it and waste the investment, and fall behind with his 'modernising' pledges, Tony Blair asked Fujitsu to revamp the system for the Post Office. He then pretty much forced it onto the Post Office, who were trying to resist this. As time went on the PO and Fujitsu management hoped that their IT departments were managing the glitches, and got on with telling the public that the system was working ...

Still not settled and still going on to this day, even after EVERYONE knows that this particular Post Office computer system is corrupt, can't be trusted and can be accessed by backdoors run by non-Post Office IT staff. Even today it's standard practice for Post Office to pursue the Postmasters for any money stolen during a robbery at their Post Office. The 'problem' for all involved in the prosecution of innocent people in this case is that it involves so many UK politicians from all parties, so many ex-Prime Ministers, the judiciary, the Director of Public Prosecutions, so many household names here in the UK, exposes the UK government to the risk of HUGE civil cases and holds the UK Honours system up to ridicule for 'rewarding' corrupt and criminal individuals who knowingly persecuted and prosecuted people they knew to be innocent. The crimes committed here can only have one outcome - serious jail time for those involved - and with so many being of that particular ilk, that is why the current and next UK governments will do their usual "sit back and bluster and hope that it all goes away with the wind". I believe the phrase is "we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong". Among the huge list of questions that need answers are at least two big questions: 1) Where is all of the money that was deemed to have been stolen and then paid back by some Postmasters and did any Post Office management staff benefit from it? 2) While dozens of Fujitsu IT staff were involved in backdoor entry to the alleged 'secure' accounts of particular Post Offices, were they involved in the 'thefts' and did they cover their trails within the software?

The legal system is and always has been a bastion for the ruling elites. It is "obscenely expensive" for a reason, to deny the average wage earner or small trader an avenue for redress. How often do we see issues that are essentially social in nature end up in court? The judiciary identifies with the "top end of town" not the "average" people in suburbia, and it loathes prosecuting one of its "own". That is why terms such as misplaced are used instead of theft, oversight instead of fraud and so on, a totally different language

Yep. That’s correct! It’s an absolutely ridiculous feature of our justice system. If you take someone to court, and they offer you £200,000 to settle out of court, if you turn this offer down and win £150,000 in court they can say that you have wasted their time and money as you won less through the court system. This allows them to get you to pay for their lawyers fees, as this is a charge they wouldn’t have had to pay if you had taken the original £200,000!!! I think this also happens in other countries too! Insane, right? 🤦🏽‍♀️

131 million pounds paid out so far to 2700 claimants is an average of only 48,518 pounds each. The first number sounds large but the amount per person is embarrassingly low.

The lady trying to justify their lack of integrity in the compensation payments is disgusting! There is nothing she can say to justify their inadequate job!

Mel Stride, the Work and Pensions Secretary, repeatedly says there is an inquiry looking into all these questions-and there has to be-but what Susanna Reid is saying, exasperatedly via her questioning, is that the postal affairs minister in 2010 _should_ have looked into this scandal at the time. Stride, doggedly sticking to his line about the inquiry, is not admitting that, yes, that should have been the case. It makes him look, at best, oblivious. It seems like post office officials could be charged with malicious prosecution and the subpostmasters wrongly accused, prosected, and, in many cases, convicted, could be compensated over and above what their actual losses were.

The longer they wait, the more they owe. And it's likely taxpayer's money that will be used. As for what he said about compensation.
