Sir Ed Davey what a complete cnut

Why is this hopeless individual still leader of the equally hopeless Lib Dems?
Should immediately resign.

Out of 22000 horizon systems 700 went wrong. That’s about 3%.

The 700 number you refer to are just those that were wrongly prosecuted based on the Horizon issues - there were also hundreds more whose contracts the PO terminated effectively shutting their businesses down based on the false readings.

So I wonder if that’s the case; exactly how many systems gave false figures.

They didn't seem to find that issue when doing the same for those murdering scumbags when dealing with the Good Friday agreement.

Well if Fujitsu and PO have anything to do with it, we will never know

The coalition were in power for 5 years and Ed was in charge of postal affairs for 2 (??) of them.

I imagine your attack is equally (and obviously) directed to Labour who commissioned Fujitsu; but, do you also attribute culpability to those Tory ministers with the relevant portfolio for the last 9 years, or are they wholly blameless?

Hint: the level of knowledge of the scandal has greatly increased during the last 8/9 years.

Perhaps you are saying ED is a "complete cnut" in a general sense, and your post just happens to be on this thread?

Personally I hold any politician who has held any office, which could have dealt with this, culpable, irrespective of party. That includes Blair who signed it off even though he was warned by Harriet Harmanthat it had faults.

I think you need to look at cost benefit analysis. Is it right to continue to compound the misery of the majority incorrectly prosecuted for this just so we don’t let the small minority slip through the net. I don’t think it is and think therefore that should be a trade off that is accepted.

It is a national disgrace that a major institution acted in such an atrocious way and that our legal system could be used to do it.

Politicians have had years to remove convictions and properly compensate the surviving victims, and yet only now do they claim that they are in a hurry to see justice done.
Amazing how an election year and a TV show can focus minds.

Those responsible should see jail time, and Fujitsu must also be answerable for their part in all this.

It is beyond belief that all those people could be accused of theft and no one in government or law thought something was wrong.

This. With bells on. It’s like the Government has been waiting until many of them have died to save on cost. See also blood transfusion scandal

Two shameful events where politicians have shown their true colours.

We can waste 8 million a day on housing illegals, and yet they avoid compensating these people.

How can we ever trust politicians to give a damn about us?

Likely Fujitsu are the only provider capable of ongoing maintenance to the system still in use, that's where the real money is in systems like these

 


Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
