Well said Jo. Compensation has been painfully slow. To my mind deliberately so. Massive costs in “assessment” which could be used to meet claims. Why are post office & their lawyers still involved ?

Hockey World Cup starts today. Top players on show & great matches to come.
Also: Sin bin, match clock,rolling subs & self pass restarts. Effective video referrals.
Also: Respect for officials. Crowding/abusing umpires not accepted.

Staff doing an amazing job. Mum was most aware & sharp that she has been for months chatting about the old days. Cheered me up 😄

@kevinhollinrake
They have suffered too much for too long to be treated like this. Many have already died without seeing justice.
Govt should pay proper compensation NOW and then sue the perpetrators.
#PostOfficeScandal
#PostOfficeInquiry
Not accurate to say there is a £10k limit on what Postmasters can claim, figure is for ‘Damage to reputation’ which is just one of several criteria and all claims on a case-by-case basis. We expect most postmasters to receive much more.
Enjoyed coaching

PO proven not fit for purpose,govt owned, racist company. Perpetrated biggest miscarriage of justice & attempted cover up
Compensation process designed to be complicated & slow to save money.

Pleased we have received 435 registration forms and 360 claim overview forms for the GLO scheme. I encourage all eligible postmasters to work with their lawyers and send them in when they can. More details here:
