> Modernising complex legacy systems is a fraught business, but writing off £31 million in a year for getting it wrong, whilst continually funnelling tens of millions to the software provider that helped co-deliver a colossal miscarriage of justice is, arguably, a poor look for all concerned.

All the people who took bonuses while fraudulently prosecuting people ought to be shaken upside-down until the entire bonus has been dislodged from their wallets.

My father was a subpostmaster decades ago and I am gobsmacked at how a public service has been turned into a piggy bank for a rotating cast of licenced bandits.

I somehow missed the “UK” part before “post office” and thought at first they’d burned 31M lbs of mail.
