@CastletonLee The strategy all along from Fujitsu has been to drag this out and eventually it goes away. A pretty successful strategy until the Mr Bates dramatisation, it has to be said. Note the throwing of PO under the bus yesterday.
@FriesianTart@Peston I suspect all of those details were included in the briefing pack but were excluded to manage the narrative. No way that Fujitsu Director was not prepped! Also don't understand why he wasn't asked who the 'Fort Knox' comment came from.. hopefully on Fri!!
@PintxosAndWine @JohnWest_JAWS ... that's saying something! IMHO, none of the convictions could have stood without the 'expert' testimony that the system was robust. It beggars brief that nobody in a leadership role knew their employees was giving that training in a criminal case /3
@PintxosAndWine @JohnWest_JAWS ...is a containment strategy that has worked well for Fujitsu up to now - i.e. mealy mouth apology to the inquiry, 'all Post Offices fault', nothing for us to compensate for etc., has now blown up in their faces. If everyone in Bracknell thinks the software was a bag of shit /2
@PintxosAndWine @JohnWest_JAWS The company that won the contract and delivered the system was ICL (formerly UK equivalent of IBM). Fujitsu acquired it and gave the local organisation a lot of autonomy to run the business. The fact that Global Fujitsu stated that Fujitsu UK are dealing with this mess /1
@chris_read123 @robinthemint It is difficult to see how ANY of the SPMs could be convicted of wrongdoing, were it not for the testimony of Fujitsu staff that Horizon was robust. Also, erroneously testifying that Fujitsu could not make changes to an individual paymaster records while routinely doing so....
@IrishTimes Could be a cheap way to cut employee numbers - encourage them to leave without having to pay redundancy. Genius..... or maybe it will prove to be "poor judgement" again....
Pls RT: My uncle was hit by a car this morning near Rosscarbery around 9am. He’s seriously injured & was airlifted to CUH where we are praying for him to wake up.
It appears to have been a hit & run. If you saw or know anything please contact the Gardaí

@VolkswagenIE I have an ID.4 undergoing diagnosis for random driver door opening issue for over a week now in Western Motors Drogheda. How can I get access to an equivalent vehicle while this obeisances drags on indefinitely?
@adrianweckler Fantastic - I will definitely be using this on my next trip to US. Anything to avoid the torture of ringing Three for activation of international data roaming add-on!! Hopefully, the start of full eSim rollout #3ireland
@conor_pope Shocking service from Aer Lingus. But not surprising. I had a telephone agent mess up dates in a booking which meant I got overcharged by €100. Trying to deal with their helpdesk was torturous - ultimately gave up and moved on from the convoluted webforms. Awful cx experience
