These miscarriages of justice still boil my blood.

An ongoing inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal examines the case of Lee Castleton.

Manager, Lawyers, Judges believing computers and those in power above the heartfelt pleas of thousands of "little" people.

17 years it went on for.

Suicides, bankrupticies, lives totally destroyed - still no apology or admisssion of guilt or prosecutions of those who pushed others into jail.

Those prosecuting now saying "I don't remember" - when did we hear those words before?

I remember the head of the Post Office at the time (Vennells) been made head of a Covid Force as a reward for her good work at the Post Office and awarded a CBE.

Mine too. The directors or whatever the call themselves should have been jailed - instead they'll no doubt have suitably generous salaries, pensions, bonuses, to keep them occupied.

Yep, utterly disgraceful. I know a couple who were financially ruined. Threatened with prosecution and jail if they didn't 'return' tens of thousands they never stole in the first place. They lost their business, their life savings and had to take out huge loans when they'd done nothing wrong. This was early 2000s, before this whole scandal started coming out. They caved in through fear and shame and were ruined.

The fact that decades later nobody at the top has been held accountable speaks volumes about how our country is structured. Disgusting.
