Quote from: Guybrush on Jan 16, 2024, 03:26 PMOh man, that post office case is awful. It shows how helpless you can be against the system, even when you have the truth on your side.

Is there a documentary on this on some streaming service?

Yes mate.

Why was Fujitsu awarded billions of poundsworth of govt contracts even after their Horizon program was known to be faulty? At least the govt bodies whose chose Fujitsu after they knew about the c*ck up with the Post Office are now being asked to explain their choice:-

My cynical take on this is that it probably has more to do with corruption than incompetence.

The US seems so strict, but then you get a slap on the wrist for killing someone in a drug induced nightmare? 🤔

Weird.
