It has been a while since the last update. A few days ago the well known journalist Nick Wallis teamed up with Computer Weekly to produce the latest story from an insider at Fujitsu who worked on the Post Office Horizon IT system before it was launched across the network. He reveals they KNEW it was not fit for purpose before they released it, yet went ahead anyway, something that has led to the destruction of thousands of lives and even suicide. The insider wanted to remain anonymous but has asked for his contact details to be sent to the current government review chaired by Sir Wyn Williams. He is also prepared to give sworn witness statements to solicitors acting on behalf of Subpostmasters in their ongoing appeals against their convictions. Here is just one of the things he said in the article :-
