Post office farce

Good evening just heard the announcement on the news that the charges against Post masters and Mistresses accused and sentenced to prison terms for defrauding the Post Office have been quashed, and about time too!
This was just a case of the Big Boys blaming innocent people for a flawed computer system that they said "couldn't possibly be wrong"!
I hope all those charged received adequate recompense for the way they were treated.

I can't believe it has taken so long but surely at least now with all the publicity, some form of justice and recompense can be meted out.
My initial shock was on hearing that each sub postmaster/mistress was told they were the only one whose books didn't balance... It could never be the fault of the computer....
If only the wronged could have got together early on.
Some stupid and cruel people exist, sadly, who cannot admit fault or take responsibility.
