---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Post Office Horizon IT scandal | UK | Unjustified prosecution and conviction of hundreds of subpostmasters across the UK | Unaccountability, groupthink, astonishing collective amnesia, widespread incompetence, stupidity. | Conviction, imprisonment, suicide and bankruptcy of hundreds of perfectly innocent and quite nice people. | Loss of public honours (CBE). No firings yet: many candidates for defenestration jumped before they could be fired. | Excoriating public humiliation in front of public enquiry. Increasingly likely some criminal prosecutions may follow. |
