There is substantial evidence that the people in power in the Post Office Board dismissed the evidence from the sub post masters because they were, more often than not of Asian descent (Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani,...). So the Post Office Board had a mental block to joining the dots because they were racist.
When they were eventually confronted with the overwhelming evidence of hundreds of false convictions they doubled down because they lack any sense of morality.
So while it is a sad technical tale it is also an indictment of British Board room culture.
The whole sorry affair has been covered by Private Eye magazine for over ten years.
