It goes back to how deeply rooted corruption and incompetence is in government and their associated entities, with big companies being in the same boat. It’s vile what these people will do to save face and money, truly appalling. Because it’s so corrupt there will be no jail time or prosecution of the corrupt criminals who allowed this to happen and that’s what pisses me off the most. If you or I, the peasants, did something like this we would be nailed to the wall. The upper class? Here’s a slap on the wrist and you have to have someone write an apology note you sign. Such bullshit.
I hope this results in firing of the associated people involved in the government.
Our government may not be perfect ( are there any in this world?) but I like to think we have processes in place to get to the bottom of the lies and cover up.
As to punishing those responsible, I really don't know what will be done. The Post Office CEO was awarded a CBE ( a relatively grand honour) during that period, for her services to the post office industry. She's been forced by the public to hand it back. Her successor handed back his bonus. The post office chairman was sacked this week. But all this hardly makes any difference to their lives.
I hope there will be some just punishment when the public inquiry is finished especially Fujitsu and they will be paying out big compensation to the sub postmasters. They've earned so much from this and other government contracts
