APOLOGIES for the seemingly great f uiji-up with this video, TRULY SORRY, swearing an Oath an all that - apparently it was just part of it and couldn't be helped, really not so bad, really
NB the Horizon-type Gremlins may have adversely affected this video but Tech Faults coincidental, NOTHING to do with years of scandalous Fujitsu or fraudulent Post Office actions against sub-postmasters.
This Distinguished Engineer, this technical wizard, this “god” did not seem able to accept how badly he, Fujitsu and the Post Office had messed things up. He does, however, have a maths degree from Cambridge. We found out today he was not and never has been a Chief Architect of Horizon, nor has he ever been Fujitsu’s Lead Engineer on Horizon. In terms of his career, Jenkins joined ICL (which later became part of Fujitsu) on graduating in 1973 and in the 1990s was recognised as a Distinguished Engineer, an honorific title bestowed on him by Fujitsu.
Beer asked him if he accepted Fraser’s conclusion that Legacy Horizon (the 1999 - 2010 version) was “not remotely robust”.
“I don’t accept that finding”, Jenkins replied.
“Do you accept that Horizon Online (the 2010 to 2017 version) was susceptible to accounting flaws?”
“There were some discrete bugs which caused problems to the accounts”, said Jenkins, “but they were all very well managed”. He felt Horizon Online did “a good job in terms of the accounting, particularly with the monitoring that was going on, in terms of being able to detect things when they had occurred.”
