It was a long-running scam that even now, hasn't fully been shown its true connections.
The public have long believed the British Post Office service was beyond any outside
influences due to it's Royal seal of approval.
It's another example of how we trust machines over mankind!
Edit: After taking my elderly half-blind mother-in-law to her local Post Office today for her
pension money -(It's deposited into her account, but she likes the feel of cash!) I took the
opportunity to ask the young woman behind the counter about this scandal of where a
shadowy company had sold a half-assed system to a trusted part of British culture.
She informed me that she was still using the Horizon software and there'd been nothing
to indicate any problems. The buxom blonde also told me she believed widely-reported
incident was -in her words, 'a load of rubbish'!
When I asked if she'd been approached by anyone from the Post Office about the system,
she shook her head and softly suggested the media were making a storm in a teacup!
It makes you think!
