"Between 1999 and 2015, the Post Office prosecuted 700 sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses - an average of one a week - based on information from a computer system called Horizon. Some 283 more cases were brought by other bodies including the Crown Prosecution Service."
@motorbiking claims that was less than ten years ago.
Is motorbiking telling the truth this time?
I think not.

You see it a lot in Public sector. People given roles they have no clue how to do and then surrounded by armies of external consultants. I suspect he is shi***ing himself. He's on the hook for false testimony. He defence angle is either contempt of court of perverting the course of Justice.

I see you want to tell more lies again.
Did the info chart not give you the relevant dates in a nice easy to understand way? Do you think there would have been any recognised miscarriage of justice had the SPMs failed to win their High court action?
Miscarriage of justice more than ten years.
Sunak jumps out of his chair in less than days.
Apologist denies it. Pretends to be offended.
Where's your apology for lying about a non-existent press release?

For there to be a miscarriage of justice, there has to be evidence to the level necessary, to prove that Justice was not done, the convictions unsafe etc.. When did that first occur. Was it:
A - 1999 - 2015 when people were prosecuted or
B - Dec-2020 when the High court gave its ruling (in the civil court)
C - Some time after given the disclosure following the high court ruling, leading to the conclusion that convictions are likely to be unsafe.
I'm sure you would be the first to champion how important it is to have an independent Judiciary, that is free from government interference.
I stand by what my post said. People started being wrongly prosecuted and imprisoned more than ten years ago.
Sunak jumped up less than ten days after the public lost patience.
Had he wished, he, or his predecessors, could have acted sooner.
They knew
But they didn't care.

When the first suspicions arose surrounding the Horizon system. Yet here we are, Rishi saves the day, coincidentally following a tv programme.

its quite common for guilty people to protest their innocence. A miscarriage of justice does not occur until there is evidence that the convictions are unsafe. Remember the PO did everything they could to keep a lid on this. They did not refer themselves in anyway until it became clear that if they didn't they would lose control. Right up until the end of 2017 they were still trying to keep a lid on it and all the way through the high court case (until 2020) they were doing what they could to obstruct the judge - he even commented as such as much as he would be allowed to comment.
With a 1000 people convicted and hardly any evidence left to assist them in their appeal this will always be a complex process. I'm not for one moment saying the Govt. haven't been sensitive to their ranking in the polls, just as its obvious that every #Metoo commentator on X from Russel Brand to Miriam Margolis is just jumping in on the attention.

Oh, are you on X?
