Fujitsu need to be in the dock also.

There should be people getting some jail time over this scandal. The managers who oversaw the false prosecutions knowing that the computer system was faulty.

I still can’t get my head around them bluffing that they had evidence of theft, and therefore got people to ‘plea bargain’ false accounting.

Without any right to charge for any crime! What cunts!

The only possible reasons for any of it is cruelty.

Is there an argument for corporate manslaughter (or similar) to be levelled after the 4 suicides as a direct result of this bullshit? Although I guess the deceased aren’t owed a duty of care post-termination, the clear determination to pin the blame of innocent subpostmasters certainly is a breach.

“Section1. The offence

1. An organisation to which this section applies is guilty of an offence if the way in which its activities are managed or organised—

1. causes a person's death, and
2. amounts to a gross breach of a relevant duty of care owed by the organisation to the deceased.

3. An organisation is guilty of an offence under this section only if the way in which its activities are managed or organised by its senior management is a substantial element in the breach referred to in subsection (1).

6. An organisation that is guilty of corporate manslaughter or corporate homicide is liable on conviction on indictment to a fine.”

It was on the news this morning and they still have contracts with the government and Horizon is still being used.

 

[Norbert Rassragr]

Fujitsu is a partner of Infosys, who is owned by Rishi Sunak's in laws. Make of that what you will, but I doubt the likes of the BBC or The Times will try to look too closely at this.

[Mattyblue]

Outside Private Eye The Times/Sunday Times is one of the few media outlets that have actually taken an interest in this case and campaigned on it throughout.
 

[Norbert Rassragr]

Wow, I'm surprised.

I can’t say I’ve seen The Bear on Netflix, a series the rest of the family keep saying, especially one episode in series 2, is the best bit of Tv they have ever seen!

Praise indeed, I’m going to give it a go.

Indeed, what a show. Genuinely the first time I’ve been on the edge of my seat watching a programme. The last ten mins or so was just fabulous.

I watched the first episode on Thursday and found it compelling - I can't wait for the next episode. It was pretty much warts and all as it focussed on Shirebrook but next week is about Orgreave.

Very good watch.

Feelings still run high Tony even after all these years.

I agree Gav and to me it represents proper history. I wasn't interested in the Battle of Hastings and the like when I was at school but reliving some of those stories from the 80's fascinates me. Early in my Football League refereeing days I refereed Rotherham against Chesterfield (1996 I think) and I keep hearing the chant 'scab, scab, scab' and didn't really understand the connotation behind it. I asked some Rotherham fans in the bar after the game and was told in no uncertain terms why they were still vitriolic towards anything from Derbyshire.

A 3rd series if The Bear is set to be filmed later this year, this news on the back of its success at The Emmys.

I've started to watch the first series, superb stuff, catch it on Disney+ (Thanks Islander200)

For anybody who enjoyed the recent three part documentary on Channel 4 about the miners strike there is another documentary on BBC 2 on Sunday 18th at 9 pm. The synopsis describes it as the story of fifteen men and women and the life changing year for them.

I can’t watch stuff like that anymore. I find it too upsetting. Like watching “ The Boys From The Blackstuff “ again.

[ScorpioRover]

Don't know if this has been posted.... but watch Red Rose on Netflix.. really good and filmed quite locally in Bolton

I get that too Tyrone but find them compelling. Boys From the Blackstuff could almost have been a documentary at that time. It was Alan Bleasedale at his best.
