Personally I'm not so worried about the financial side of it, I want to know who in the Post Office made these decisions when they knew the "new" computers had issues. To me there should be Post Office officials who should be facing charges, I reckon somebody high up used these court cases to cover their own botch ups while knowing they were throwing innocent people to the wolves. | |

Exactly, one of the foundations of the prosecution was that the IT was reliable. |  |

One matter, out of a number of troubling issues, is that when individual sub postmasters were interviewed by post office investigators, they were told that they were the only ones subject to investigation. It was only much later that they became aware that they were amongst many facing allegations of fraud and were thus able to share their experiences with the flawed computer system and form a support group. This gave momentum to the subsequent challenges to their criminal convictions. However for a number of these 'victims' it all came too late.
It's a disgraceful episode in our corporate history. | | | |

I worked as a postman in 80s I remember the post office investigation branch what a bunch of arseholes they where .
One Saturday I swapped a walk (delivery) did the swap all correct put I swap book and all signed off by supervisor,Saturdays used to be job and knock basically so got home early enjoyed weekend .
Then couple weeks went by I got tap on my shoulder while sorting my walk follow us please two blokes I'd never seen before and a supervisor I was taken into an office of the investigation branch and was submitted to a two hour interview it was horrific basically someone on my walk had a birthday all the cards went missing with I was told over hundred quid in them .
I was suspended went home you can imagine how I felt I had to tell the Mrs my mum dad everyone fair play they all stuck by me and said I wouldn't pinch anyway two days later I was called back in for a formal interview so had my union rep with me and full time official another hour into interview it suddenly came to me the date they where looking at was the day I'd swapped!!
The investigation team looked at each other walked out of room half hour went past a supervisor knocked on door poked his head round and said ok Jim you can go now it's all cleared up 🙄
I was tamping I said I wanted an appoligie I was told the investigation branch don't do apologise well if they did my union rep threw open the door went on sorting office floor blew his whistle "ok lads all out" 🤣I kid you not we where out for three days 🤣 the head postmaster came and apologised on behalf of the post office my rep still wasn't happy he wanted the investigation branch to apologise but that never came 🙄
Anyway 5 day's overtime to clear the backlog so I was up money wise
They really are arseholes |  | | |

Hell of a story Jim.
Good to see your union doing its job.
The sub Postmasters is a shocker.
Common sense might tell sensible people that this was very unlikely to be correct. Shirley ? [Post edited 11 Jul 2021 16:34]

Agree Gents.
I was suspended several times in Plod and once in another job.
Occupational hazard.
There are many out there looking for brownie points and promotion not bothering how tenuous the allegation is.
I found Union reps to be useless as were their solicitors. If in shyte always pay for the best-ie most vicious solicitor . | |

I got called in for claiming £164.00 for driving from Dartford to Glasgow in my annual expenses. I was asked if I had any excuses, I said no excuse at all as was referred for an investigation.
At the hearing I was asked why I only claimed for 410 miles, I explained I travelled to Glasgow on the 3rd of April and returned on the 7th of April and that I would claim the return journey in the next quarter's expenses!! | |

What’s happened to these people is disgusting and criminal, the people at the top of the Post Office should be held to account.
To be honest I am sick of the lack of accountability at the highest levels. Southern Water were fined £90m a few days ago for shocking breaches of environmental legislation over an extended period. The company has had a huge fine, but the people in charge at the time have trousered lots of cash and moved on, the new board have to face the music. In cases like this, the Directors in role at the time /ex directors should also be facing the music and time in the slammer.
