Privatized post offices sound awful.
“We are building a team that know how to properly interrogate and investigate Horizon data. We are confident about … the way we can go about an investigation and identify where there are shortfalls and discrepancies.”
Good luck with that line of argument: we know we were wrongly interpreting bad data but everything is fine now, probably, so this definitely evidence of a crime, unlike all those previous cases. Honest guv.
The inquiry has already shown their method of data collection was flawed, the core systems had critical bugs compromising data integrity, and the processes for data validation were non-existant. Every time they audited a post master they were always basing it off the horizon reports.
As far as I’m aware, they can’t even advise what happens to all the money they forced the post masters to “pay back”.
They seems to have a shitty culture of treating the post masters like criminals unless proven innocent, and still believe they’re the victims of their own flawed software.
