However bad the software is and however bad the software-related decisions at Fujitsu and the Post Office were, nothing should distract from the fact that the real culprit is really with the Post Office leadership who destroyed the lives of 900 people, ridiculed them, forced over 40 into suicide and countless others into falsely claiming guilty to bargain when faced with a lawsuit they had no hope to win at the time. Equally guilty is every politician and bureaucrat above them who failed to raise their voice or take action, as the case may be. Instead, the former head of the Post Office has moved on to the next sinecure (at NHS this time) and was awarded a CBE. Thankfully a recent High Court decision has condemned those in charge in no uncertain terms. The damage of this decade-long scandal for all of society is tremendous.
