The Post Office scandal, centered around the faulty Horizon computer system, has seen significant developments. Over two years, the Post Office Inquiry, including MrBatesVsThePostOffice, has revealed shocking information. Despite numerous warnings and the ongoing Horizon Scandal, the Post Office continued to award contracts to Fujitsu, raising concerns about the potential destruction of evidence. Recently, several former Post Office workers, wrongfully convicted of fraud due to errors with the Horizon system, have been cleared by the Court of Appeal, including a Northumberland clerk and Jacqueline Falcon. Falcon shared her harrowing experience of being charged with fraud, highlighting the personal toll of the scandal. An internal investigation has also uncovered the use of "utterly abhorrent" racist terms in Post Office documents relating to the wrongly convicted subpostmasters, with updates to these documents as recent as 2013. Additionally, victims of the scandal have reported substantial personal and financial losses, with one former sub-postmaster disclosing a loss of over £75k and significant health issues due to the ordeal.
