A newly revealed internal document shows fraud investigators were asked to group people based on their racial features – using language the Post Office has now admitted was “unacceptable”.

  1. This is kind of small fry for the managerial class, considering what they did during the pandemic. The managerial overlords blood lust is at plus 2000 a week now, and it hasn't yet peaked.

  2. The post office did kill them, government enabled it to kill them, our current government uses the NHS to kill trans women. Anyone who's not cis-het and white is a 2nd and 3rd class citizen in this country and many of us have basically no rights or protection under law at all.

  3. This is our Royal Mail. And it can treat people in such an appalling way. Just shows you the Royal family doesn't care about what happens in their name. People expect a government to govern. Instead of playing politics with themselves.

  4. How can they possibly give fair compensation to these people? You can't quantify the suffering they've endured, you can't bring these people back to life or undo the damage to their mental and social wellbeing.

  5. The individuals responsible should be exposed and not allowed to hide behind 'Post Office',
    Otherwise all that happens is that everyone condemns it but no-one is ever brought to account.

  6. NOT all those imprisoned have been released. Private Eye magazine revealed that one sub postmaster asserted his innocence, but has been refused a case review. Horizon has been ignored in his case.

  7. More white people was prosecuted than Asians.

    And you are trying to play the race card. Despite being treated the same way as everyone else.

    Any excuse to play the race card 😂😂😂😂

  9. I cringe every time I think how these poor people were treated, but this latest revelation is just too much.

    No amount of money can compensate what was done to them and their families, they deserve justice that only prison time for decision makers can bring. But we are unlikely to ever see this happen. Disgraceful.
