Post Office had deal with Fujitsu to fix Horizon errors 19 years ago.
They lied to courts, parliamentary committees.
Postmasters knowingly wrongfully prosecuted, Lives destroyed. Compensation being paid from public purse, none by those who profited from the scandal.
No one charged for conspiracy.

In the huge melting pot of utter disgraces that have been bought to public awareness over the years this borders on top spot.
Why can’t we hold companies and executives to account? Why can’t we change things so that social responsibility is part of the equation.
This really sticks in the craw.

Utterly ridiculous to compare a far right racist with a Green Party leader who is currently demonstrating better socialist credentials than the so-called Labour party. If Labour doesn't realise soon that it's the progressive voters it needs to appeal to, not the Reform ones, it's game over.

It's not rocket science. Greens are offering hope about the things erstwhile Labour voters care about. Labour from a position of great advantage has chosen to become an irrelevance and instead of making things better for everyone, they are inexplicably chasing the votes of bigots.
