The numbers are staggering. Almost 300 people went to jail, and many plead guilty despite being innocent to avoid said jail time, resulting in a criminal record. One thing the show does really well is humanise the people being crushed under the weight of the system being abused. The sense of confusion, anger and powerlessness when falsely accused of wrongdoing, but not really understanding where the funds went, or why such a profoundly unfair result was pursued so doggedly against entirely innocent people. At the moment, the Post Office is taking most of the blame, but I think Fujitsu deserves just as much, and many on both sides should be jailed. Of course, they're the ones with a voice in the corridors of power, so I expect the outcome will be compensation for the postmasters, pardons for those convicted, and then a drawn-out inquiry that will last just long enough for public attention to move elsewhere, and allow for some vague words about culpability without anyone in particular being punished.
