"Asleep On Duty?" Why Didn't The Government Notice Post Office Prosecutions? | Good Morning Britain 

honest people overnight had suddenly gone rogue and no one in the post office could put 2 and 2 together

​@@paulrichards6894 That was not in the plan. This is corruption on a massive scale..just seeing how Alan Bates was blocked shows that..and they even tried to block the first judicial enquiries by saying the judge was biased and tried to get him to recuse himself. Crooked to the core this Government. Hope they get kicked into touch in the election.

Funny that it's an election year that the Tory's decided to pull their thumb out their arses isn't it?

they are all corrupt lining their own pockets , look at Brexit !

We dont have any..

That's why they get the big money!

Lovely analogy.

20 years from now . . . they'll be saying even worse about the thousands of lives ruined by the COVID lockdown scandal. But not now . . .

Governments! Labour, Tories and the LD coalition. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.

Still no Justice for the Hillsborough victims and their families.

Aided and abetted by certain media outlets. The millionaire owners aren't on the side of the public. They're on the side of the people with knighthoods and gongs.

According to The Guardian, there was an instance where a user attempted to confirm receipt of cash. Each time the user pressed 'enter' on the frozen screen, the record would update. I'm inclined to think this might not be a software bug, but rather a hardware or network error. The user should have checked the transaction. One would wonder if anyone found it odd that the same transaction could be listed within a few minutes. Did anyone bother to verify the data? The news reports that the cash was less than expected, but were there more stamps than indicated in the data? If so, someone should have noticed that they were not sold. Has Fujitsu admitted to the fault, or is it a result of the post office's management error? The news of this issue has spread worldwide, tarnishing Fujitsu's reputation. If the fault lies more with the post office than with Fujitsu, there's a potential risk of legal action against the post office by Fujitsu. It's not uncommon for users to operate systems in ways engineers could not predict, and in this case, the post office had to inform Fujitsu after three staff members were accused. While it might be Fujitsu's fault, the involvement of 700 people in the post office and court errors raises questions about the true source of the problem.

Well said 👏

When the riots happened in London it took "days" to prosecute people. They had 24 hour courts, issuing verdicts immediately. There were no inquiries needed.

👍🏾

What Farage experienced was what tens of thousands of others were experiencing , the banks were acting in a manner that was most unacceptable , ie judging people on their opinions and closing accounts leaving thousands of people in limbo , the government were forced to act to protect the population as a whole from the banks who should be focusing on business not being Woke . It is essential that the pressure on the government is constant otherwise they will undoubtedly try to make the whole thing go away , it would appear that justice is only applied if it has no other option.

Arrogance & laziness..... "computer say no"... "oh it must be right then"

And where did all this money go? Was that never asked?

The investigators were paid bonuses based on the mount of money the claimed back from 'dishonest' staff. so it was in their interest not to investigate properly

Right! If you’re the leaders of an organisation and it looked like a whole bunch of long standing employees with good records had all started committing crimes out of the blue, it would be obvious that it was an system/IT issue. What they’ve done is inexcusable. People need to go to prison for it.

Absolutely spot on Buck. It does show how those responsible for the mess did nothing at all and cared even less. I wonder why it took a TV documentary to get things investigated. 😮

And who was Head of DPP during a large part of this? OH, that would be Keir Starmer.

The Dpp had nothing to do with any of these cases. The Post Office has the ability to bring private prosecutions. The Dpp wasn't involved in any of it. The PO can (and did) effectively mark it's own homework. None of these involved the police or or the Dpp. ​@@JohnRedman-h3s

Probably...it sticks in my craw knowing the PO bosses falsely accused, prosecuted and extorted monies from the sub post Masters when they knew the discrepancies were false....absolute hypocrisy and criminality. They should do time in prison...they are the criminals.

courts are in on this .

Remember it's election year

Pat McFadden, Labour, and Ed Davey, Liberal, both did but sided with the Post Office. There must be others.

Absollutely....the complete lack of oversight by our criminal justice system is beyond comprehension.

the post offices very own stasi....putin would be proud of them.

This is because the Post Office is a SIGINT/COMINT public facing department of UK intelligence agencies and has been for 300 years.

Yes that should be up to the police so they can establish who the real criminals are.

they was still going full steam ahead .they was even trying to take people back to court and jail them for not paying the compo owed to a company already proven giulty of jailing innacent people who still did not know they was not the only one.and judges was still pretending not to notice.

yes but, we know that no heads will roll or justice served....the top protect the top, which is why the mets investigation will come to nothing.

And robbery. The victims had their own money taken them as well as their jobs, homes and reputation

It's not royal mail it's the post office.

You omitted the bit about austerity - more of it - plenty more!

It is a crime of BOTH Fujitsu AND the state. Fujitsu for the faulty program/software, and the state for LYING to hundreds of individuals telling each that they "were the ONLY one".

@@julierogers1155 They even LIED to that woman (and the judicial system) saying she would be convicted of theft if she didn’t plead guilty to other offences even though they had assessed that they had absolutely no evidence of theft on her part whatsoever! There has been a gross miscarriage of justice carried out by the state.

@@julierogers1155 Fujitsu and the post office both lied to the court

Corporate crime, yes. But it had some help from the State.

@@michaeltoohey1385 It's a bit odd to refer to a post office that was being prepared for privatization as "the state". Post Office was operating, as Thatcherism dictated, as a private company or "brand", as they called it. Outsourcing to Fujitsu was part of that programme. And we don't have "state-run media" in this country: there is a national broadcaster, the BBC, but its journalists - John Sweeney, in particular - were among those asking the difficult questions.

And lots of taxpayers' money down the drain (in crooks' pockets)

Fellow blame shifters. I still wonder what dog they have in this fight though

i remember listening to a in-depth BBC radio 4 documentary about this over a decade ago. Seen odd reports here and there by channel 4 and ITV since. It's been known about and reported on for years. But the media as a whole have just never cared enough to make it a big deal until ITV brought it to enough people's attention all at once with that drama. Now the tory client media can't avoid reporting on it, no matter how much they might want to

That question could be asked of a lot of more recent issues

Yes, I remember seeing and reading reports about it for years. No one in government cared as long as the public were not aware en masse but the cat is well and truly out of the bag now ....but what about all the other victims of scandals who are dying before being properly compensated? e.g. Windrush and contaminated blood etc etc. 'Little people' have got no chance to right wrongs in this country while the highly paid incompetents carry on being incompetent. @@WhichDoctor1

@@betcarbery46 Exactly. The hypocrisy is maddening . . .

I know he was on the select committee who failed to do anything. I think he was the only non actor in the drama so I'll call it a cameo role. He was also convicted of tax evasion ànd kicked out of the Conservative party so in my humble opinion I don't think his credentials merit him being in any drama or investigation. All these politicians are able to be crooks given have a chance. It's time the honours lists are done away with if it is just friends and family that are being nominated. Your friend Paul's has handed back her gong after 1,200,000 embarrassed her but she should have stripped of the award for the lies and corruption she presided over. Now she needs to be removed from the NHS board and the money she amassed by her actions needs to go directly to the Post Office Station masters who lost so much including family members over the past 24 years.

Fujitsu are tory donor's.🤔

and very nice back handers

we rishi sunak this criminal gave criminals in suits they was grooming for the house of lords .100 million of our money to protect his own interests.a rishi sunak is partnerd with fijitsu ffs .

Indeed the opposition could have brought this to house's attention in any number of prime minister question time's

It's so sweet you think there is any opposition. Simply adorable.

Oh yes can you really see starmer creating a fus of this when he was part of it

Different government though, Tony Blair was PM when this scandal happened!

I mean in 2049 and it's still going on,

Did I not hear ed davey apologise......no that’s right, he didn’t 😂

tory could not even do that with out breaking the law.

👍🏾

My thoughts are that the Post Office failed miserably to communicate the proper specifications to Fujitisu so the Post Office are the main culprits. But Fujitsu are at the very least complicit if not also completely guilty in this disgusting scandal which robbed people of lives, livelihoods, dignity and respect.

Why? This happened on mainly Tony BLair's andGordon Brown's watch - 1999-2010, i.e. 11 years. Then it was Clegg-Cameron for 5 years.

Lying is like breathing to them

Get your facts straight. According to reports the main scandal ran from 1999 to 2015 and Labour was in charge for 11 of those years.

But this scandal happened when Tony Blair was PM!

Yes the haemophiliacs still waiting from the 80s contaminated blood, Hillsborough, Grenfell, they won’t hurry.

yes its criminal. They lied to the courts and manufactured fake evidence to make it look like their computer system physically couldn't make the errors it was very obviously making. Lots and lots of perjury and misconduct in public office went on at the highest levels of the Post office and Fujitsu. Possibly government too. But that's just white collar crime. That's not considered important in tory Britain. Not like being homeless or an asylum seeker. Those are the really important crimes that need to be cracked down on

Reform,honourable? 😂😂😂😂😂

Motivation for blocking intervention? The suggestion is that the link between the ruling party and Fujitsu was at the root of all this. So we come back to lobbying and the allocation of publicly funded contracts once again. Nothing ever happens within public administration without a reason.

Overpaid positions for crooked Narcissists

Yes, but one who gets a real result

Don't forget Pat McFadden, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
