Post Office And Fujitsu Scandal
Whilst a Commission is, according to yesterday's news, searching for all the managerial staff who suffered from Fujitsu's inadequate 'Horizon' computer system, their misery finds no end, no ease. A representative of the Commission, I believe, is apparently experiencing difficulty in finding these former managers.
Surely to goodness, such information must be readily available on the 'Horizon' computer system. Or has that, due to an error, been lost?

One would naturally expect the managers of companies to be taken for account when they are naughty blighters. Fined = to be paid out *of their* personal coffers; or, exceptionally, be jailed.
Illogically, the firms are often fined. When a utility, it would seem that this fine payment --fine, indeed!-- is retrieved by spreading the exceptional spending across customers' bills.
Managers are typically given praise and financial gain reflecting their companies' success, but disappear behind their desks and allow the burdens of financial losses due to their mismanagement to be carried by their companies.
(By way of example, a sewage-treatment firm that daily spewed 'rain-excess' into a nearby river. Eventually the firm was fined, the managers not even sacked.)
