IT is not an attack on terrorism or an earthquake but something worse – a wrong computer system and a rigid bureaucracy – yet it ruins hundreds of ordinary lives. For two decades, the British Post Office married its own subpostmasters for the crimes they had wasn’t doneBased on said – is a computer system called horizon. The software, developed by Fujitsu, and rolled from the late 1990s to the mistakes. But it is not treated as glitches. Treated them as evidence of dishonesty.
the Public Inquiry to the post office horizon scandal, seen as one of the worst miscarriage, began with 2021. In a 162-page search first number of its seat – Retired Judge Sir Wyniams – Human trials are set, and the insufficient attempt to do things right. Between 1999 and 2015, almost 1,000 people were accused – and convicted – using data from the wrong system of the horizon. Some were imprisoned. At least 13 kills themselves. Many more damaged – wrongly imprisoned and changed by their health and reputation. Report explains: This is not a technical slip. It is a systematic failure to destroy lives – and one is allowed the post office.
Sir Wyn can’t do spend Legal guilt, but no doubt no doubt. The victims, he wrote, suffered “unacceptable unacceptable behavior” in the hands of “post office and Fujitsu”. Post Office Executives and Fujitsu staff learned early on the horizon error. However the prosecutions continue. Unreliable data is used in discipline, sacks and subpostmasters in prime. Complaints were shut down. Disadvantages are believed to be robbed. The victims were away and did not believe.
fee Plans followed, but it was also marked by delay, confusion and red tape. Sir Wyn criticized all major designs as failed to deliver “full and fair” again – and retramed by many victims. He calls for more clear definitions, pay the swifter and a permanent public body to manage the payment for people who are injured in state of state. The judge says there are about 10,000 worthy claimants for financial redress.
It is impressive that it is taken Television Drama about scandal to move the government to work. Judges are equally acting for victims noticed that “up to a political momentum change in January 2024, behind the scenes of an exactly-driven amount of paid fees”.
Sir Wyn suggested Restoration of Justice: Not just money, but recognition. How to frame it determined. But there is more to get from public prayer and understanding of man. Must have a moral count of damage caused.
This is not the last – more volumes the following – even the first report reveals an evil broken in British public life. True failure is not tech, but people and institutions. The government-owned office, formerly a reliable part of society, emerging as secret, punishment and unwilling to admit wrong. It failed to reputation for being a pillar of civil life. It, however, the state that Nietzsche has been warned – the “Too cold with all cold monsters“- Dress the face with people, but give up on them indifferent. The question is not when it is happening, but what a country has to do if it is allowed what it is allowed to fulfill.
