A lot of people in the UK prosecutors offices and post office management should be going to prison.

This is the UK, not the US. There will be little to no fallout from this, and the victims will be threatened with consequences for speaking out.

There would be a class action lawsuit where lawyers take two thirds of the settlement and those affected would get enough for a fancy Starbucks coffee.

Class action lawsuits usually give about a third to the lawyers, and the rest is divided between the plaintiffs, so most of them get 10 or 20 bucks.

And, of course, they would be shamed for how they spent it and told thats why people are poor.
