Govt knew about Post Office Horizon cover-up

Whilst everyone is panicking about some military staff saying "well, we might have to conscript", it becomes clear that that particular media-whipped panicfest is a dead cat deployed to stop us all from clocking that David Cameron's coalition govt knew about Project Sparrow, knew about the Post Office's decision to fire the forensic accountants who found the bugs, and were complicit in the cover-up of software defects that cost the jobs, livelihoods, and liberty of over 700 sub-postmasters. The actual govt knew.

Heads are already rolling but frankly this is not enough. The BCS want legal changes to the presumption of "computer is always right".

It's a shame that Jo Swinson has left politics because I'd love to see her in front of an inquiry.

What about the Labour fucking govt that was responsible for this shit shoe in the first place?? Another PFI disaster thanks to their sheer fucking incompetence. They were told Horizon didn’t work, were told not to sign off on it but did so any way.

One day, someone will actually expose the PFI corruption from the last Labour govt and show the decades long disaster it has been for this country

We have NO RIGHT to criticize other countries when the level of corruption in the UK is this high.

That's why I started this thread. There's no other thread concerning the Coalition govt's involvement in this perversion of justice and several about the NATO guy who was given column inches to distract us all.

Certain parts of the press are complicit in this cover-up too.

Of course they did! Is this actually a surprise to anyone?

The Beeb got docs that prove it and everyone was too busy going "zomg conscription" to notice.

I said on another thread and I think it's important enough to repost here:

We are talking about the govt and Post Office perverting the course of justice over 700 times. If they [the govt] can do this to sub-postmasters, they can do it to any of us.

Yep, those unredacted minutes of the Project Sparrow meetings in 2014 are a bombshell.

No wonder the PO blacked out so many paragraphs before releasing them previously.

Well done the BBC for getting the originals.

The Beeb are losing the licence fee so they've got nothing to lose by blowing the whistle on what was a mostly Tory govt.

I agree that the conscription nonsense is yet another tory smokescreen. Furthermore yes, it is clear those at the very highest point of our establishment not only knew of the horizon issues but did all they could to bury them and the postmasters with it. Sickening.

VitoCorleoneOfMNMafia · 27/01/2024 20:22

I am 100% sure that conscription is in the news right now solely to bury this.

Yup. I've been reading the transcripts and evidence daily, and it's clear the corruption ran through from top to bottom.
