I have been watching Alan Bates give evidence this morning, obviously we know more about the issues with Horizon since the TV program aired months ago, but boy I hope People in the Post office are held to account.
For those outside the U.K. The post office introduced new computers ect over 20 years into all Post Offices. The Sub post masters were held to account for any discrepancies with the balance at the end of the day. Now we know that the systems were faulty , but back then many were made to paid thousands and many were prosecuted. Some lost their incomes, jobs, homes, reputation. My Bates was one such person, but he fought back , formed a support group for all those affected and endeavoured to get justice. It all reached ahead when a tv drama was made about it all and brought it into the public domain recently. It brought outrage from everyone - government are endeavour to quash convictions but now The Post office itself is having to face the music.
