This article is the British upper class blaming a foreign software contractor for what was purely a result of the utter contempt that the upper class has for ordinary people in the UK. Repeatedly and callously convicting innocent people without ever finding a single cent that was allegedly stolen is reflective of the deep indifference the ruling class of that nation has for people unfortunate enough to not have been born to a politically connected family. This is such an alien concept to Americans it can be difficult to explain British class dynamics to someone unfamiliar with their cultural attitudes.
