The lengths they were prepared to go to knowingly tell barefaced lies, spread misinformation and threaten people is astonishing.
A lengthy but worthwhile article here.

RE: Mr Bates vs The Post Office
Amazed to hear in last nights news that the Horizon system is still being used in Post Offices, but is now more robust and any loss balances are now discussed first between parties, LOL
My blood was boiling with the Post office inquiry with the 3rd day of former Post office boss Paula Vennells giving evidence.
She was spouting that she knew nothing and cried crocodile tears. If anyone deserves a long prison sentence and her 4 million quid bonus and everything she owns taken off her, she does.
She just sat there knowing full well the Horizon system did not work, and that people were persecuted, lost their livelyhood, sent to jail, given a criminal record, reputations ruined, some even committed suicide.
Lets hope this enquiry leads to sentencing of not just her but all the bosses of the post office found responsible. Rant over.
Repeat showing of the ITV program this week on ITV3 at 9PM for four nights.

A well deserved Knighhood for Sir Alan Bates in the Kings Birthday honours, after years of ongoing fighting the Post Office injustices, and getting compensation for the victims of the Horizon system.
RE: Mr Bates vs The Post Office
They are also now looking into the previous system before Horizon and it was called Capture, a DOS based program, which had also caused prosecution's of former post masters. A total can of worms indeed.
