Those in charge of signing the contracts are getting lots of favors. Perhaps not in direct cash payments, but they are getting a kickback somehow.
That tends to be how these things go. The middle man is the contractor. They take the blame, get fined by government, then get the contract again, and get the money back that they just paid in fines by way of more contracts! 🤣😂
The troops forced to stand next to a nuclear bomb with only a pair of sunbglasses for protection 80 years ago are still waiting for compensation so the PO lot are very lucky!
Only a corrupt governing elite would continue to award contracts to such a company and only a corrupt media would fail to report it and hound the miscreats out of office.

I trust those who wear 'The Red Badge of
Courage' and those who have been banned for speaking the truth.
In the1990s I worked for ICL Network Systems on the bidding for a Post Office Counter Automation system (POCA). Thank goodness we didn’t get it. Some time later what was left of ICL, originally Manchester’s own International Computers and Tabulators (ICT) was taken over by Fujitsu.
It has taken a years-overdue investigative TV drama series on the Post Office ‘Horizon’ scandal to show the general public how cruelly and unjustly the corrupt, venal establishment can oppress ordinary hardworking people. Hopefully this will open more eyes to the eerily similar Covid “plandemic” and “climate change” scandals.
Good comment. I agree to a large extent but I feel we need to understand what the term 'establishment' means. That's not to say I have a definitive answer!
It seems that what we think of as 'the establishment' is many networks of more or less influential individuals who are subject to external and internal social pressures.
The Horizon horror story exposes how little responsibility any individual in that particular network felt for the software foul-ups and how easily they accepted GIGO - Garbage In Gospel Out.
It's too easy for such people to pass the buck and dismiss it as 'collective responsibility'. The same has always been true of social networks of humans - the larger the worse.
May I suggest that it's only when we learn how to prevent these networks behaving in the way they always have that we'll be able to avoid debacles like Horizon, totalitarianism, climate and covid cultism, and a thousand other horrific outcomes.
Sounds a lot like the robodebt scandal in Australia. The tax department ran an IT program issuing debt notices to people on welfare. People were persecuted some took their life, and many struggled to pay thousands to the govt that they did not owe. The kicker is the govt government knew for years and didn’t intervene.
It's called "Power without Responsibility".

Round and round it goes.
Nepotism is alive and well
Yep, FUjitsu on the FUBAR government. An eye for an eye.

Professor Angus Dalgliesh recently posted an insightful article on TCW linking the Post Office scandal with the Covid and climate change scams: https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/post-office-scandal-covid-and-climate-change-the-trinity-of-con-tricks/.
