The Post Office Scandal Continues
On BBC Breakfast this morning one victim said that following the quashing of his conviction, he and his advisers put in a claim for compensation.
As he said, it was not some made up fanciful figure, but supported by documentary evidence of his demonstrable losses and reasonably expected compensation – the Post Office’s response was an offer of compensation less than 15% of what he requested.
Disgraceful behaviour by the Post Office (and the government).

It’s a shame we can’t take away everything he owns, put him in jail for 2 years (with a criminal record) and then 15 years later give him £1 million – and ask if he thinks that is fair and reasonable compensation.

Many have been vocal in that Fujitsu should pay a significant amount into the pot to compensate the victims – but if I were Fujitsu I’d be saying to the Post Office, you knew we were lying when we said the Horizon system was robust, but you when ahead with the prosecutions anyway – and you lied to the sub-post masters/mistresses claiming that each was the only one suffering Horizon issues, knowing full-well this was false.
If the Post Office had been honest in court, none of the scandal would have happened – we (Fujitsu) are not paying for your dishonesty.
I would quite happily see every SPM caught up in this compensated to the tune of, say, £5m.
Such is my palpable disgust I would happilly pay for the compensation through a tax rise. This is how disgusted I am because I would never ever suggest such a thing because (a) we are already over-taxed and (b) ALL Governments are inherently wasteful of money that doesn't belong to them.
