James Hartley BBC Breakfast interview | January 3rd 2024

[@chris-4566]

All sub-postmasters had to sign a contract which clearly stated that they were responsible for any shortfalls in the till. So why would they even think about stealing? Answer: They wouldn’t and didn’t. The documentary doesn’t show post office bosses in a good light in any way at all.

Very good point.The PO still uses the horizon system it’s printed on your tracking receipts

[@janeclifford585]

Why are the PO still using Horizon system it’s printed on your posting tracking receipts

[@kurt479]

In 2009, S4C broadcasted Taro9's weekly investigative current affairs programme, which reported on the injustice of Noel Thomas (Anglesey). They interviewed Alan Bates, Jo Hamilton and Lee Castleton.

The Judge in that trial Winston Roddick, who was inserted in the last minute, has some questions to answer. Why would you send a man of previous good character to a 9 month prison sentence. Was this Judge specially instructed by the post office to show a strong and ruthless example. Noel Thomas deserves rapid answers and massive compensation running to multiple millions of ponds. The compensation should not just be remunerative but also punitive

Completely agree with previous comments, the BBC should be doing this! This PO drama was about injustice and the groupthink of senior Civil Servants/Govt Ministers/Multi National Corporate Company/and a Publicly owned organisation. You could argue it was quite woke! BBC far to worried about upsetting the government. Adam Crozier head of ITV has his own questions to answer on this, He was the PO CEO, his name omitted from the drama, but at least they produced this on his watch.

Early 2025, my word that's such a long time. Will we ever know?

No doubt ‘Lessons will be learned’. ‘No rules will have been found to be broken’. People will be found to have ‘misspoken’. 🙄. BBC radio made a very good radio podcast series about this scandal which aired in 2020, worth a listen. It’s called ‘The Great Post Office Trial’ and is still available on Iplayer.

The excellent drama is something the bbc use to do and should still do , instead itv are now making all the good true story dramas, while the bbc make woke unwatchable dramas now

The ones who new from the beginning, this system was riddled with faults,and then still went ahead and prosecuted innocent people, and worst of all new they were innocent,should be jailed for the maximum number of years the law can give, and sadly under this CRIMINAL government it probably won't happen,and this CRIMINAL behaviour will continue, its become part of the tory manifesto !!
