The mea culpa rather than the resignation.

so the position has moved from ' robust and infallible' to now meaning it works effectively for a majority of users but not everyone????

It would seem so boygenius , I have to salut everyone involved with the JFSA, your fortitude and perseverance is jaw dropping, one day they will make a film about your collective story.

However a little bird tells me that there may be more of a story yet to tell about how the Horizon scandal has beeb dealt with by POL.

Subbie it wouldn't have anything to do with the snippet that the Post Office Board knew that Horizon hadn't been fully tested prior to roll out?

Cheers Subbie .. i lost everything, so perseverance has been borne out of necessity. the ripple effect on everything around me has been life changing .. I hope we get justice i really do.

yes the way it has been dealt with by POL has been truly brutal .. i cant wait to see it all come out in the final report.

I don't think anybody should hold their breath on this subject.

I've known POL long enough to know that none of the knobs running the business will admit to making a mistake or offer any form of sincere or meaningful apology. The alleged senior management of POL, and indeed Royal Mail Group, are extremely adept at wriggling free from any blame or culpability no matter what various reports may say. They do not care one jot about the little people on the front line who actually work for a living.

Watch this space for several well timed 'retirements' or 'changes of career direction' for some of the people who, in the real world, would be held to account for their individual or collective negligence.
