Fujitsu has bagged billion-pound Government contracts despite its known involvement in the Horizon software scandal. The Mail has the story.
Fujitsu received an estimated £1.4 billion worth of deals with Treasury-linked organisations since the High Court ruled that there had been numerous bugs and errors in its Horizon software.
The Japanese communications firm is set to have received more than £3.4 billion through contracts running with Treasury-linked organisations since 2019 despite its role in the Post Office scandal, MPs have found.
More than £2 billion worth of contracts were agreed before 2019 and remained active in the following period, the Commons Treasury Committee said.
HMRC has awarded the company eight contracts worth £1.39 billion since the ruling in 2019, while a further six contracts pre-dating the ruling remained active after 2019 but have since ceased.
The FCA agreed deals worth around £630 million dating back to 2007 which continued to run after the High Court judgment, and still maintains six contracts worth a combined total of around £9 million.
The Bank of England confirmed it had one contract worth £417,000 from 2019 which expired on August 9th 2020.
The committee had asked all organisations whether Fujitsu’s role in the Horizon scandal was considered during the tendering process and whether they thought about ending the deals in light of the scandal.
But it said the only response it had received about possible termination had come from the FCA, which confirmed it considered winding down a contract with the firm due to poor performance but decided to retain its services.
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: According to a 2010 letter reported in the Mail, Sir Ed Davey lauded the “integrity” of Fujitsu’s deeply flawed Horizon computer system, even after campaigner Alan Bates had alerted him to its catastrophic failings.

I’m dumping this here because otherwise it won’t be seen.
Thanks to Dr Mike Yeadon.
Excellent. Would be very interested to see those documents and the equivalents for other countries. I wonder how clever they have been in not saying anything damaging in the parts of the meetings that were minuted, and in emails.
I’ll see your off-territory dump and I’ll raise you…another pilot death. The 3rd in a week actually!
Tbh though, I have no idea what the stats are on pilot deaths from years gone by, before bioweapon deployment all across the aviation industry. Are we just more hyper-alert for such things now?? Did a quick search and can’t find any source which looks reliable and worth sharing.
”BREAKING NEWS: 3rd PILOT has died suddenly!
(3rd pilot death this week, 5 pilot collapses in total)
Aug.17, 2023 – IndiGo Pilot (40 years old) who was to operate flight (NAG-PNQ) Nagpur to Pune, India, fell unconscious & collapsed at boarding gate, was declared dead at hospital! Pilot identified as 40 year old Manoj Subramanium.
Aug.16, 2023 – Qatar Airways QR579 (DEL-DOH) Delhi to Doha diverted to Dubai as 51 yo pilot collapsed inflight and died!
Aug.14, 2023 – LATAM Flight LA505 (MIA-SCL) Miami to Santiago, 56 year old Captain Ivan Andaur collapsed and died in the lavatory of the plane.”

Given that pilots have to undergo regular medical checks I reckon that the number of sudden deaths prior to the clot shots was very very low.

“Employees With Lawful But Unfashionable Views”
Er, sorry, what are “unlawful” views? I’m not aware of any such legal concept. Certain speech or writing may be unlawful under the UK laws of libel and slander, but I think the scope of those laws is fairly limited and would not cover most “views”, however “unfashionable” they might be. Possibly some views if expressed publicly might be illegal under racial and religious hatred laws.
Tyranny does not like you having an opinion because you might not choose theirs. So they have to shut you up. ————Some time ago I had to attend a job Interview. After a weeks training the group of new employees were ready to start work. We were addressed with the following —-“You all will have noticed that there are many Muslim and Asian people working here. Should any of you say anything to upset these people you may face disciplinary action or possible dismissal. Are there any questions” ? I immediately raised my hand. I asked “If a Muslim or Asian person says anything to upset me, will they also face disciplinary action and possible dismissal”? ———-The look of astonishment on the trainers face was something I won’t forget. ——And that is the problem. Diversity only works in one direction (Less white people). It is the same with all of the other wokery being imposed on us. There can only be one point of view —THEIRS.
Lots of self censorship going on, wrong think is unfortunately real.
