Post Office Scandal - George Thomson

My analysis of the testimony of George Thomson, former general secretary of the National Federation of SubPostmasters (NFSP) to the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry. The NFSP is an association that represents subpostmasters . George was giving evidence on why hundreds of operatives were prosecuted after the Post Office blamed them for financial shortfalls reported by the Post Office IT accounting system (Horizon). The inquiry has shown how the Horizon IT system was unreliable and contained bugs, errors and defects. George decided to use his testimony to defend Horizon and to remind us that not all the subpostmasters were honest folk.
