I don't mean to let the leadership off the hook. What they did was profoundly wrong and they have blood on their hands. There were two phases though: the initial rollout, and sometime later the coverup. If they had asked very reasonable questions about the software during the rollout there would have been no need for a coverup. No software rolls out without any bugs and it's really reasonable to ask why so many post offices had missing funds and if they were sure if it was real or not. The PO leadership basically ignored all evidence that there were bugs from the very beginning, and that makes no sense until you realize that they were starting from the premise that the postmasters are thieves and this software is going to catch them.

>What they did was profoundly wrong and they have blood on their hands.< This, so much this. Not ONLY that but they kept DOUBLING DOWN for YEARS. I SO SO wish they would be held accountable for the pain, suffering, Chapter 11's, AND the suicides.

  Bankruptcy is probably not chapter 11 in the UK. (or is it?)
