“We are building a team that know how to properly interrogate and investigate Horizon data. We are confident about … the way we can go about an investigation and identify where there are shortfalls and discrepancies.”

Good luck with that line of argument: we know we were wrongly interpreting bad data but everything is fine now, probably, so this definitely evidence of a crime, unlike all those previous cases. Honest guv.

The inquiry has already shown their method of data collection was flawed, the core systems had critical bugs compromising data integrity, and the processes for data validation were non-existant. Every time they audited a post master they were always basing it off the horizon reports.

As far as I'm aware, they can't even advise what happens to all the money they forced the post masters to "pay back".

They seems to have a shitty culture of treating the post masters like criminals unless proven innocent, and still believe they're the victims of their own flawed software.

Privatized post offices sound awful.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
