Of the hundreds of cases we know of those affected by the Post Office scandal, it’s hard to imagine anyone suffered as much as Fiona McGowan and her family.
Fiona actually had a proud track record of running successful businesses in the Edinburgh community.
At one point she had a picture postcard life in Musselburgh, on the east coast of Scotland, her petrol station business was thriving and her children grew up by the seaside surrounded by friends.
But in 2001, Fiona opened a post office and everything changed.

Poor Fiona McGowan! To have the WEIGHT of the entire system against you, and WRONGLY against you. NOW, accountability NOW. SHAME on the community members who shamed and attacked the (INNOCENT!) Fiona. ACCOUNTABILITY. NOW. The Post Office NEEDS TO RESPOND to DARYL WALLACE NOW. ... the post office responds to ITV, but NOT TO DARYL, Fiona's son?!!!! UN-f*cking believable.

Maybe not, but they still deserve recompense for this appalling travesty. Many are still struggling having been forced to pay back money they did not owe. Unfortunately, the dishonest Post Office is still in control and blocking their getting what they are due. Pay the postmasters now.

Interesting how the statement from the PO called it the ‘Horizon IT scandal’, software systems don’t decide to prosecute people or apparently cover up the truth of what was known. Feel really sorry for this family and what they’ve been put through, unforgivable.

It OK as Ed Davey was "lied to" so wasn't his fault. Will not even say he's sorry. Makes my blood boil that unlikely nobody will get prosecuted and MP's will get away Scot free. What happened to the Fiona McGowan and her family is a blight on the governments and judicial system in this country 💔

Just outrageous, these poor children not only has their mother been wrongly accused but vilified by their communities and to have then lost their family their poor mum driven to dispare. Criminal charges against post office staff and management involved should be instigated. I hope those in that community involved in vilifying their mother come forward and apologise for sending their mother spiralling to her death.

I agree with your comment, it's a disgrace what these huge company's get away with😢 We live in Spain and ALL banks here have been found out that they've robbed, over charged and put all their customers through hell for yrs! Our mortgage has been nothing but worry and upset for over 20yrs now. Courts told banks to pay up what they illegaly took from customers, but the banks have been so crafty by offering customers less mortgage payments for being old customers, once they signed they couldn't do anything about it😢 We got a lawyer onto ours but we were the lawyers first clients on this matter, bank paid us 17,000 euro, 10 in cash n 7 taken off mortgage, then they made us sign 30 documents each to say we couldn't go back to claim anymore, ( I questioned why so many documents had to be signed, but all they said was so we can close this case and you've been paid out) unbeknown to any of us, they should have paid approx 70,000euros😢 as they had charged us for Notario paperwork, insurance payments and high interest rates for over 15yrs😢 It's a disgrace and what they get away with is heart breaking for people like us, who didn't know they were breaking the law, we put our trust in our bank, thinking they were guiding us correctly but they scammed us ALL over again😢

How about the post office compensate the family members £330,000 each Fujitsu UK £330,000 per family member. Each senior management and the board the same. Post Office investigators the same Post Office prosecutor the same. Horizon management the same The programmers the same. All bonuses to all board and management senior and junior should be forfeited to the compensation pool. Then they all serve Prison time 30 months I think that will be small justice. ITV why don't you go to Japan and ask the CEO of Fujitsu what hes doing about compensation about what they knew what they didnt do and why. Bring shame to these people spread the shame and evil far and wide you have the resources to push the flow back.
@kimcallaghan753
@kimcallaghan753 8 месяцев назад
Agree with all you say except the 30 months. I'd want all the main perpetrators of this appalling scandal locked away for at leaat ten years. And then a sliding scale of prison terms as you go down the different levels of culpability. And this includes those in power who knew, but did nothing.

Fujitsu = The remnants of the British Mainframe Computer industry (ICL) sold to Japan to halt the dominance of IBM. The Post Office = Transformed by privatisation in what can only be described as Corporate Fascism. The Government/Treasury legally bound to limit liability and payouts. Solution = Appoint Accountancy firms to bill Fujitsu for restitution/damages,dependent on Fujitsu ever getting Govt. contracts. If Fujitsu needs to recover any monies it can take Civil/Criminal action against the salaries/pensions/properties of the guilty!

Ain't gonna happen It's the right thing to do, it's in the public intrest, but it is not in the goverments interest. Like Grenfel, nobody will be held accoutable. in both cases, No amount of money can replace or payback what they have lost.
