    Mr Bates V's the Post Office

    Bunch of B******* , what a shocking story, they put those people through hell, great series so far but I've only watched two episodes, hard to believe it's true if you didn't know you would say it's too far-fetched.

    Shocking that the Post Office continued to prosecute when the numbers of similar cases continued to increase.
    And still paying the compensation due is being dragged out.

    The CEO who was in charge of the post office at the time was awarded a CBE for her services to the post office - absolutely scandalous, you couldn’t make it up! They should be jailed for their incompetence and continued persecution, not rewarded. No doubt there was a lot of covering up going on too

    ITV conveniently miss out that their former chairman was also chairman of royal mail during this scandal

    Petition to strip Paula Vennells of her DBE has reached nearly 40000. It was on 15000 when I signed this morning. https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio...lls-of-her-cbe

    Angela van den Bogerd, on leaving the Post Office in 2020, joined the FAW as ‘Head of People’. Only lasted as few months, her appointment was apparently a major reason in the no confidence vote in Jonathan Ford. We’re well rid in my opinion.

    Post Office workers wrongly accused of stealing have highlighted that many of them are still waiting for compensation four years after winning a landmark court case proving their innocence.

    Between 1999 and 2015 the Post Office relentlessly pursued branch owner-operators across the UK for alleged theft, fraud and false accounting, despite knowing that there were faults in Horizon IT software they were using, resulting in more than 700 prosecutions.

    The scandal, frequently described as the most widespread miscarriage of justice in UK history, has now been dramatised in a series currently airing on ITV.
