    Gut-wrenchingly awful. The senior people responsible need to lose their livelihoods, pensions, life savings, homes and good names.

    They also need to spend some time in jail.

      I covered that. Regardless, a spell in jail won’t deprive them of their pensions or their homes (Jeffrey Epstein went to jail and came out just as rich and powerful as when he went in).

      I want them to pay a real price. The same price they extracted from thousands of subpostmasters. And I want every other senior executive and politician to know that it is a price that can be extracted from them too.

        I said “also” because they need to lose everything AND go to jail. You said that jail wouldn’t help.

          Jail does not help. These are not the cases I would choose to test anti-carceral arguments on - and in the current carceral context, jail would be eminently reasonable. As long as they don’t come out to their massive pensions and massive houses and all the trappings of luxury they bought off the backs of the people who were powerless to stop them.
