Watched Alan Bates today on the Inquiry. Thank God for him. The post office are STILL trying to call the shots! But the cannot succeed! Give it up! It's over. Pack a bag, pack a bag, don't send it through the mail! Pack a bag, pack a bag, cos you are going to jail! Yay! 🙋⚖️🙏

If there's anybody anywhere that hasn't seen this yet I seriously beg you to watch it. You need to know a bit of the back story to fully appreciate what's going on purely because not only is it TRUE but its still not resolved. When we watched it we couldn't wait to watch the next one. The dramatisation is as brilliant as the miscarriage of justice to the real people is horrific.

We need to support Mr Bates and keep the pressure on our local MP’s, the Post Office running the so called compensation scheme is further injustice, they are blocking payments and making the system as slow as they possibly can.

Hard to believe that people running the post office were only interested in saving the reputation of the organisation no matter what.

Ive not seen this but i think i need to. It totally blown the roof off all their lies and deceit

Britain’s answer to Erin Brokovich a must see for everyone in the USA. The title may not sound exciting but Mr Bates VS The Post Office is up there with the likes of Chernobyl for dramatising what was the biggest act of neglect and injustice for those it affected.

It's not the only one that's been brushed under the carpet eg the bad blood scandal the sex grooming of young girls etc to just name two.not acted on.

I've seen that, but the post office was the victim of the scheme and fraud that so many innocent hard working citizens experience...😢😢

What became obvious was that these people were extremely passive and gullible. Perhaps that was how they obtained the position. By 2001, everyone KNEW that all software was constantly updated and revised. New features were added, bugs were remedied. So why was this an ‘unknown and undetermined issue’ at all?? If you can send information and data, over the internet, then CERTAINLY, the receiving entity, Horizon, can manipulate and send data to you. They should have directly addressed many of these issues with top personnel in Fujitsu.🙄🙄😬
