bureaucrats stealing money and scapegoating rank and file, is quite normal
Britisher's ruled the world but today all sorts of problems are ruling them.
Pure British!
Very sad
I heard about this crazy!!! Like it reminds me of that movie sleepless in Seattle when the mischievous girl books a kid a cross country trip on her computer, and the naive kid says “won’t they find out” and she replies “no, if it’s in the computer they believe it’s true” Jesus people start using your critical thinking skills
Horrific
It is 2nd time DVLA sending me check back and I'm not betting it back.. it is not a service , it is a scam
No way Fujitsu made a mistake, that software was purposely made to create shortfalls and i guarantee the lottery use similar software that doesn't give the actual true figures of what is made and if the winners are even real people , assessors will see the computer system that a winner/s exist but no names just stats , on a screen, then the auditor says yep someone won the lottery because " the computer says so " i can't really go beyond than that because as an auditor im not allowed to witness the name of the winner because of data protection,,,,,,,, how convenient
Focus is spelt wrong.
Follow the goddamn money!
Feeling so sad. Believing simple devices and ignoring the value of the human
British politicians!! Two centuries of stealing World's wealth, and after all this time, this is what it has come to. I feel really sorry for the postmasters.
Disgraceful…the British Post Office
My first thought would've been that there is something wrong with the software
Can the software industry be trusted! I was a victim of a dodgy freemium game if I knew about this common flaw with software DLC and understanding the importance of great customer support in event that software becomes faulty. If customers support and service is dodgy then software is rendered not fit for purpose
Technically the money was and is still in the hand of the Post even if not shown in the account or balance. Post and Fujisu should provision for big money loss for such a blatant failure 😅
Thieves 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The post office are thieves 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So the real money went to the pocket of the higher ups 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 British thieves office
I AM SURE THE POST OFFICE WAS STEALING THIS MONEY 💰 🤑 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
SO THE MONEY EVAPORATED 😂😂😂😂😂😂 WHO STOLE THIS MONEY IN REAL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I AM SURE SOME HIGHER UP IN THE COMPANY
The post office apologized for past mistakes? Did they accept the apologies of those sub-postmasters? Or did they prosecute them?
