#HillsboroughLaw #DutyofCandour #Accountability #PostOfficeScandal #Nottingham #InfectedBlood #Windrush #StateScandals The word they fought thirty-seven years to hear: CANDOUR. This week, ahead of @andyburnham entering Downing Street, the Public Office (Accountability) Bill returns to the House of Commons for its Report Stage and Third Reading. Officials call it that. Everyone else calls it the 'Hillsborough Law'. It was promised in a Manifesto. It was laid before Parliament last September. Then it stalled. From January, the sticking point was narrow and telling: the security services wanted out. They wanted a carve-out from a law whose single purpose is to stop public bodies lying. The government has now conceded there will be none. No exemptions. Not for the intelligence services. Not for anyone. What remains is simple enough to frighten the institutions it binds into telling the truth. A legal Duty of Candour. A criminal offence to mislead an Inquiry or an Inquest. Public funding for bereaved families, so they no longer face the state's lawyers alone and unpaid. Consider what that duty would have meant elsewhere. For years the State owned Post Office told Courts, Ministers and its own Sub-postmasters that Horizon was reliable. It knew otherwise. Men and women were prosecuted on that lie; some went to prison, some did not live to be exonerated. A duty of candour, criminally enforced, is the law that turns that type of egregious conduct from a scandal into an offence. Ninety-seven people were unlawfully killed at Hillsborough in 1989. Their families spent decades being told a lie was the truth. They wrote the remedy themselves. From the Commons, it goes to the Lords. Watch who resists it there, and why. share.google/clDVIsgVyKLD7UP… – at Cap-d'Ail, France

#PostOfficeScandal #FUJITSU #Sorry #Apology #Ethics #Accountability #Redress #Honour Real apologies come with changed behaviour and action. Everything else is manipulation dressed as regret. 2 Years since being FORCED by the Court of Public Opinion to break their silence and apologise, still no sign of them honouring their 'moral obligation'. @fujitsu_uk @Fujitsu_Global @FujitsuAmerica @PostOffInquiry @hmtreasury @biztradegovuk @CommonsBTC @liambyrnemp @UKHouseofLords @HouseofCommons @CastletonLee @brianwhelton @mariaspears @Karlfl @mkiceburnmarko @CWUPostmaster @voiceofthePM @NigelRailton @nickwallis @TimBushLondon

#PostOfficeScandal #CorporateAccountability #Fujitsu #UKBusiness FUJITSU'S MASTERCLASS IN CRISIS MISMANAGEMENT: How to Dodge £1 Billion While Pocketing Government Millions Remember Fujitsu? The tech giant that swore blind their Horizon system was "infallible" while it systematically conspired to destroyed hundreds of innocent lives? Well, they're at it again. Here's the rap sheet: ⚖️29 known bugs. ⚖️Remote access capabilities they denied existed. ⚖️A £150,000 payment to Post Office for data breaches swept under the carpet. ⚖️Their own 'Litigation Support Unit' conspiring with Post Office to prosecute Sub-Postmasters with data they KNEW was unchecked and unreliable. The smoking gun? Anne Chambers was actually a Fujitsu Whistleblower. She flagged the dodgy data in a memo back in 2006. Corporate response? Cricket sounds 🦗🦗🦗 Fast forward to today's farce: Director Paul Patterson's hollow apologies in front of a Select Committee and at the Inquiry nearly 2 years ago. "We'll contribute to compensation," he promised. Amount paid to date? Zero. Zilch. Nada. Meanwhile, in a move that would make Yes Minister's Sir Humphrey blush, Fujitsu has discovered a loophole worthy of Olympic gymnastics. They're not bidding for "new" contracts (how noble!) – they're just quietly extending existing ones. The haul? A cool half-billion pounds over the coming years. Let's recap: Taxpayers cough up over £1 Billion for victims. Fujitsu trousers £500m+ in Government contracts. Fujitsu's contribution to the clean-up? See above re: zilch. They're "hiding behind the Public Inquiry" – that time-honoured British tradition of kicking Scandals into the long grass until everyone hopefully forgets. Except we already know what happened. Lord Justice Fraser spelled it out in 2020. The evidence is there in black and white. The real kicker? 5,000 UK jobs hang in the balance while Senior Fujitsu Executives play a three-card trick game with accountability. Time for the UK Government to show some backbone: No compensation, no contracts. Time for Fujitsu HQ in Tokyo to replace the Management of FSL. @fujitsu_uk @Fujitsu_Global @AmbJapanUK @JAPANinUK @postoffice @CastletonLee @Janetsk20073533 @LucieB1228922 @liambyrnemp @hmtreasury @darrenpjones @sumostatscom @sumo @japantimes

#PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry #Fujitsu #PostOffice #HumanRightsAbuse #Compensation. Government accepts all but one of the 19 Recommendations made by the Public Inquiry in Vol 1 of Sir Wyn Wiliiams Report. Issues still remain with the Process. Not enough resource allocated to assess claims. Takes too long. Over-engineered and too many questions are asked. The BIG question for Victims - When will they all finally get paid ❓ @BBCEmmaSimpson @darrenpjones @Keir_Starmer @peterkyle @biztradegovuk @fujitsu_uk @Fujitsu_Global @AmbJapanUK @BBCBreakfast @BBCNews @hudgellsol @NeilHudgell @tonydowney67 @CastletonLee @Janetsk20073533 @chrish9070 @andyverity @DanNeidle @TomWitherow @edwardhenry1 @liambyrnemp @CommonsBTC @TimBushLondon @VarchasPatel @Jusmasel2015
