A UK public inquiry has exposed the shocking mishandling of the Post Office scandal, where hundreds of subpostmasters were wrongly prosecuted due to a faulty IT system. The judge delivered a scathing critique of the institution’s bureaucratic failures, calling it a moral failure with life-ruining consequences. Victims are still fighting for justice after years of wrongful accusations.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a technical glitch—it’s about how unchecked power and institutional arrogance destroyed lives. The Post Office’s refusal to admit its mistakes for years turned a fixable problem into a national disgrace. It’s a stark reminder of why transparency and accountability matter, especially when ordinary people pay the price for systemic failures.
