Add this to the UK #postOfficeScandal & the Dutch child benefits scandal. No one committed suicide or got jailed, but German education was disrupted for DECADES, because an undiagnosed computer error contradicted direct evidence more teachers were needed.

Betty Brown, 92, the oldest surviving victim of the UK Post Office scam was outraged about finding herself on the New Year Honours List."We want compensation, and prison sentences, not worthless medals."

Thing is Sirralan, they were always going to screw you over but you were too busy enjoying the Establishment life of having a Knighthood and going to Rich People's places like Richard Branson's island....

The British State dragging it's heels because it's a petulant child who can't admit fault.
Hey, what is that guy they gave a Knighthood to doing about this?

#Fujitsu ist wirklich eine ehrlose Eiterbeule und der #postOfficeScandal ist noch nicht abgeschlossen. Wenn Ihr Euch so richtig die Laune verderben wollt, springt mal in das Rabbithole.
Ich vergesse immer wieder, wie schlimm Fujitsu war/ist, wenn ich das richtig verstehe, hat Fujitsu immer noch nicht abschliessend gezahlt und das Dokument weisst nach, dass bekannt war, dass die Buchungsdaten veränderbar waren. Und sie kriegen immer noch Regierungsverträge.

Der #PostOfficeScandal ist ein Lehrstück dafür, was passiert, wenn EDV-Systeme als unfehlbare Blackboxen betrachtet werden. Und was fehlendes technisches Verständnis von Journalisten und der Öffentlichkeit in Kombination mit der Vertuschung von Problemen anrichten kann.

If there's one thing the British State hates it's when us little people win against them.
And while this scandal is FINALLY being dealt with, there are a number of other Government scandals carrying on as we speak....https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/04/sir-alan-bates-settlement-post-office-scandal

As with the Grooming Scandal, the normal people keep getting screwed over by the State, they just have to 'win' you see.
In both cases the victims describe the Government as 'Adversarial'

Horizon victim Lee Castleton sues Post Office and Fujitsu for £4m - BBC News https://share.google/yPhA9IedBQfPlsduf -
Paula Vennells was supported in this application by the now disgraced ex archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67923190
Vennells herself was only saved from the public's righteous anger because short arse Sunak called a General Election the week after Justin Beer QC took her to pieces in the #PostOfficeScandal inquiry
Just reminding you .
13 ppl committed suicide, 1,000s of ppl suffered
She should be in jail

Blood on their hands but it's the British State and Big Business so don't expect justice until everyone involved is dead.
You'd be a fool to think this isn't going on elsewhere in the UK, right now. -
CW: #suicide
At least 13 people may have taken their own lives after being accused of wrongdoing based on evidence from the Horizon IT system that the Post Office and Fujitsu knew could be false, the public inquiry found today.
A further 59 people told the inquiry they considered ending their lives, while other postmasters recount suffering from alcoholism and mental health disorders including anorexia and depression, family breakup, divorce, bankruptcy and personal abuse.

The UK state sees driving people to suicide as a goal when it makes a mistake it needs to cover up.
They'd drive you and me to suicide if it protected them from scandal. That's what these people think of all of us, just objects to exploit.
Even now they're getting all giddy at the AI hustle, ready to apply it to our lives without our consent & fuck us up

In a shocking revelation, the Post Office scandal might have indirectly caused over 13 suicides—who knew that bureaucracy could be so lethally boring? 🤦♂️ Meanwhile, the inquiry continues to search for more ways to state the obvious, because why not waste more time and paper? 🗞️🌳

Hold out until you can be bought off by the State with some baubles like that previous guy.....
"Will Mellor played me in a TV show and all I got was bankruptcy"
See how Britain works, see how it grinds you down, see how it lies to you and says "things are sorted now, look, everyone is talking" and how that usually leads to nowhere as the State can wait...

“A minister has spoken of his disappointment that Fujitsu, the Japanese company behind the Horizon computer system, has not done more for those whose lives were ruined in the Post Office scandal.”
Which says as much about the naïvety of the minister, Gareth Thomas, as it does about the morals of Fujitsu.
