#兩邊走走｜編輯推介｜英郵局會計系統失誤引發醜聞拖逾廿年，拍成電視劇喚公眾關注

事件被視為英國法律史上影響最廣泛冤案。

郵局公司在1999年引入電腦系統，負責管理帳目和會計，但系統被發現有失誤，帳目會無故消失。有代理商因為擔心違反和郵局公司之間的合約，生計不保，自行填補可能達到幾千、甚至幾萬鎊的款項令收支平行。

郵局公司並無理會有關系統的投訴，並在2000年開始向代理商，採取法律行動，指他們「監守自盜」。到2014年，有超過700人被起訴，部分人要作出巨額賠償、有些更要入獄，有代理商懷疑壓力太大自殺。想知道事件如果因為一套電視劇發生改變，請收看EP79《兩邊走走》的編輯推介。

In every story of injustice perpetrated by powerful organisations, there comes a moment when the whistleblowers are transformed from pesky annoyances who must be crushed to national heroes who must be lauded & recognised;

sometimes that happens in years, sometimes in decades & in some case only posthumously.

The #horizonIT scandal is crossing that rubicon right now with #AlanBates its hero, but there are so many other scandals that have not reached this point.

Its a sad indictment of the UK

Interesting to see the effect of Mr Bates vs the Post Office, the ITV dramatisation of sub postmaster #AlanBates and his battle with the #PostOffice over their bug-ridden #Horizon software. Lots more people are discovering the story, which parts of the Computer press have been investigating for twenty years.

Alan Bates first contacted #ComputerWeekly in 2004, and they’ve run numerous articles on the scandal ever since.

#TheSumOfAllFears (2002)
CIA analyst Jack Ryan must stop the plans of a Neo-Nazi faction that threatens to induce a catastrophic conflict between the U.S & Russia's President by detonating a nuclear weapon at a football game in Baltimore, Maryland.
#BenAffleck #MorganFreeman #JamesCromwell #CiaránHinds #AlanBates #MichaelByrne #LievSchreiber

From the #archives:

Directed by #JohnFrankeheimer from a #screenplay by #DaltonTrumbo, the real-life-based #TheFixer stars a badly miscast (& eventually #Oscar-nominated) #AlanBates as a #Jewish man jailed for a murder he didn't commit.

https://www.altfg.com/film/the-fixer-movie-1968/

THE FIXER is evidence that good intentions don't a good #movie make.

Also in the cast: #DirkBogarde, #GeorgiaBrown, #HughGriffith, #DavidWarner, #IanHolm.
