Post office employees have serious amnesia too. It seems to affect people in funny ways. After years of working in the same department they can’t recall many things. Including job title, their managers name and in one case the fact he was a policeman prior to post office.
So to sum up, Cameron doesn't recall being briefed on Horizon, Hunt forgot he owned seven flats, Rees-Mogg doesn't remember taking a £6m loan, Villiers forgot she owned £70k-worth of Shell shares and Sunak couldn't recollect his wife's shares in a childcare company

She doesn’t show any remorse because she isn’t human.

EXACTLY this - to the endless bots and right wingers taking to Twitter laying blame with Starmer and Davey - the first inkling of an issue with Horizon came in 2015. Davey was out of Government then and Starmer became an MP.

Dya know what Lee, I’m going to post at least once a day until they pay. I know little old me can’t do much but if many little old me’s do the same thing then it’s one loud voice!

As you well know
@chrish9070
I have not even applied to the scheme Chris. I received £28,000 from the GLO in 2019. Please never ever joke to me about compensation. £170 million was paid to lawyers, as you know. That is neither funny or acceptable. People have died waiting.

555 will fight until we have completed this journey. Never give up . Never give in.
@CastletonLee
I didn't lose a relative, I just speak as a survivor with a front row seat of the cover up.
But the Post Office scandal cost lives too, suicides due to the despicable conduct of PO investigators.
They have blood on their hands and it makes me so angry. Keep fighting Lee.

Sadly the even worse and stark truth is just how lucky I am. Some of our fantastic group have not lived to see this beautiful and emotional outpouring of support.

It’s just dishonest isn’t it. Of course it is. It always has been.
#PostOfficeScandal
When accountability is the last step. They try to stop the first step and then fight to not take any other. They hope there will never ever be accountability.
It's like a game of poker but one that Staunton has already kind of won.She overplayed her hand with the redactions and the bullying claim and the refusal to show all documents.

It’s the duplicity of it all. Everyone is saying. Yes yes we must receive full and fare compensation. All the while huge sums are paid to try to drive down the amounts it seems. The process should be simple. It’s not it is purposefully complicated.

If I was a suspicious person, I might think that when it comes to paying

compensation to
#subpostmasters
they may be trying to avoid it 🤷.
Outrageous

I will never profess to know the pain of losing a loved one in the way lives were lost at Hillsborough. In cover ups we may be treading the same ground. For that support all victims are grateful.
@CastletonLee
Think you know how people touched by Hillsborough are with you guys Lee. Having experienced a gross injustice first hand - we are very much on the side of anyone who is lied about by an organisation more worried about its own reputation than the truth.

What an absolute joke. I knew there would be a caveat there always is. It is ridiculous and saddening that this is a help. If the cases are not complex and lower compensation figures offered they should be dealt with properly.

Correcting an error in my earlier tweet:
The PM's £75,000 is a take-it-or-leave-it offer, or "floor", for the

group of 555.
Postmasters can take the cash now and get closure, or go through the process if their claim is worth more.

When you are in the inquiry it is fantastic some of his reactions. Just amazed sometimes. I know he will have heard it all before. Never ceases to shock quite how bad the witnesses are.

The very saddest fact of this is that none needed to die without Justice.
Justice delayed!
Justice Denied!

It’s important to emphasise the delays and the low offers whilst spending millions on lawyers. If anyone wants to just raise their concern it would be wonderful and appreciated.
@CastletonLee
Shameful that, even today, compensation is being dragged out and resisted, Lee. Are there some key points you'd like people to make to their MPs? E.G. how the current schemes are failing and what MPs should lobby ministers for instead?

No one should have to fight for so long. Over twenty years and counting. I think the most difficult part this is where we are now. Imagine, we have won, but not really. The fight continues every day. How draining is it to know that the end is clearly defined and insight 1/2
I worry about this pressure on all those campaigning SPMs and those dealing with the media so much

I believe it is said repeatedly that the schemes themselves cannot provide prompt compensation. If it were true the schemes would have a stand alone board. They would be simplified. Non combative. Easy to navigate. They are non of these.
Ministers want prompt repayment and compensation to wronged sub postmasters. Worrying story in Sunday Times alleging some senior Post Office executives and officials still slowing or blocking payments.

Watching the Inquiry today - does anyone know what happened to all the money the post masters/mistresses paid to cover the "losses' they were accused of incurring? Is there a central fund or did it go into PO "profits?"

So many from our group have had to fight too hard. But it is a testament to our group that we are still fighting. Even though we should not have to.
Sorry for everything they put you, your family, and everyone else through.
Thank you for not giving in to them and for continuing to fight for the truth and justice!

I just hope it now puts on enough pressure to help everyone finish this. The 555 have been fighting too long.

I’ve been following your story for years. I think my local postmaster was affected because he left suddenly without explanation. Thank goodness it is now on the news.
