#Post Office Scandal Tumblr posts

[useless-englandfacts]

i don’t know if people on this site care about the post office scandal but it is mental that it took an ITV drama for the government to suddenly decide to exonerate the people involved after 20 years of doing nothing

All tories deserve this level of lack of mercy

Started listening to the Great Post Office Scandal book by Nick Wallis after finishing the Mr Bates vs the Post Office show, and I feel Pratchettian rage at the injustices these subpostmasters are suffering. It's all too similar to the way Reacher Gilt sucked the life out of the semaphore, the sheer incompetence & life-ruining technical faults, how whole communities were affected, the audacity of the Post Office, treating people as things and thinking themselves infallible. Yes, OK, there's a lot of scandals & frauds with those hallmarks, and I shouldn't compare real life with fiction, but the fact it's also about the Post Office and the level of trust people had in that brand, and how that trust was flagrantly taken for granted... I just despair at how right Pratchett was.

Steal five dollars and you're a common thief. Steal thousands and you're either the government or a hero.

...

There was no safety. There was no pride. All there was, was money. Everything became money, and money became everything. Money treated us as if we were things, and we died.

The Post Office IT scandal isn't just a failure of the Post Office. It shows how much the UK's legal system, politics, and media are rigged against ordinary people being treated fairly.

It shouldn't have taken until the ITV drama for anything to change.

Yes, often at 9pm his kids are awake and forcing him to watch paw patrol.

Also, catch up TV is beyond the technical comprehension of this Neanderthal.

They’re just taking the p*ss and making glib jokes, hope this one in particular is gone at the next election.

It's not just me who thinks the guilty British Post Office executives should get jail time and their fat bonus payments clawed back, then.

They ruined hundreds of lives over many years, tried to cover up their actions, and are now dragging their heels over compensation for the victims.

This is corrupt Britain, where the REAL crooks, fraudsters and incompetents in business and politics get rewarded for screwing us all year after bloody year.

Analysis: CPS prosecuted at least 27 people – and as many as 38 – running post offices during Horizon scandal – it strains credibility to claim he knew nothing

Labour has claimed that none of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) prosecutions of innocent sub-postmasters went ‘to [Keir Starmer’s] desk. Starmer himself has now told reporters that he knew nothing about any of the cases:

I wasn’t aware of any of them. I think there was a small number within a 20-year window, that’s all I know. I don’t even now – I think the CPS are helping with inquiries – how many of those may or may not have involved Horizon.

There were at least twenty-seven and as many as thirty eight cases.

One such case that definitely happened under Starmer’s tenure as CPS head was the prosecution of Seema Misra, who was jailed for fifteen months in 2010 – on her son’s tenth birthday – for fraud that she never committed. She was pregnant when she was prosecuted and jailed – and her conviction was only quashed in 2021. The prosecution did not disclose to the court that the Post Office knew the Horizon system was faulty and had at least forty examples of the system causing shortfalls at Post Office branches.

When the scandal of serial rapist Jimmy Savile broke and Starmer was attacked for not prosecuting him, Keir Starmer did not personally deny he had been involved in the decision not to prosecute Savile, instead allowing mouthpieces – including Tory MPs – to say he was not aware of it, insisting that we believe that he ran the CPS and was never asked for his view on whether to prosecute the offender who was, at the time, Britain’s highest-profile entertainer.

Starmer boasted of his role in prosecuting former government minister Chris Huhne and promised the US he would ‘do everything’ to secure the extradition of autistic hacker Gary McKinnon – yet supposedly was not consulted by his subordinates about Savile.

he CPS claimed it had destroyed all records relating to the decision not to prosecute Savile. The CPS also claimed that it had destroyed all records relating to prosecution of Seema Misra.

We are asked to believe that Starmer was not involved in the Savile decision, was not involved in or consulted on any CPS Post Office cases – was not even aware of their existence – despite them taking place while he ran the CPS and despite revelations, a year before the Misra case, in the press about the known, widespread issues with the Horizon system causing false ‘shortfalls’ in Post Office branches.

As Labour leader, Starmer has covered up a whistleblower’s allegations of ‘sadistic’ and ‘criminal’ exploitation of vulnerable domestic violence victims by a Labour staffer who was the lover of the MP she was working for. That MP, Khalid Mahmood, did not dispute a victim’s sworn evidence in whistleblower Elaina Cohen’s successful tribunal for wrongful dismissal – and confirmed under oath that Starmer and Labour general secretary David Evans were fully and repeatedly aware of the allegations.

Starmer also sheltered at least two alleged sex pests in his Shadow Cabinet and re-admitted racist and sex harasser MP Neil Coyle back into the parliamentary party, as well as Mike Gapes, the right-wing former MP who defended fellow right-winger Ian McKenzie after McKenzie tweeted about the rape and beheading of Thornberry herself, and former MPs who defended him. He is a creature of the Establishment and sides with it every time.

What the hell was he doing while he was boss of the CPS if he didn’t know about the highest profile cases and wasn’t consulted on the widest miscarriage of justice in British legal history? This site does not believe it is credible.

Is tumblr not talking about the British post office scandal? Because the new tv show is making me want to show up to the post office headquarters to just have a little chat. With my fists.

Even if the Prime Minister himself asked, the Inspector wouldn’t simply pop back to prevent the Post Office scandal.

If he could save a large number of sub-postmasters from going through all the legal processes they went through? Apparently not.

Jail Paula Vennells

Vennells already knew at the time of her decision in July 2013, that Gareth Jenkins, an engineer at Fujitsu, who designed the Horizon accounting system, had withheld information from the courts about bugs in the network and was regarded as an “unsafe witness.”

Post Office employees continued until 2015 to be prosecuted and hounded and to take their own lives over apparent shortfalls in funds at their branches caused by faults in Horizon. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/23/paula-vennells-ruled-out-post-office-review-told-would-be-front-page-news
