Post Office stole in excess of £75,000 from my dad - he had to cash-in his Royal Mail pension, sell mother’s family heirlooms and assets in order to repay the Horizon generated shortfall. He is disabled.
Ed Davey could’ve stopped it.
#PostOfficeScandal
The catastrophic harm Post Office has inflicted to Postmasters around the country is unforgivable. My father’s health will never improve and sadly get worse, yet Post Office continues to harm claimants by so-called Public Interest cases and humiliating them.

Mr Vipin Patel of Oxford was prosecuted by at least one Post Office investigator who knew of bugs - he was again targeted by Post Office in the months following.
Dad has NOT received an interim payment despite having his conviction quashed.

@RupaHuq
100% of known Post Office Horizon victims have received interim payments of up to £168k, 100% of those in the original Horizon Shortfall Scheme have received offers (>80% have accepted), 64% of all known victims have accepted full settlement, but working day and night to do more
Paula Vennells claims, “she worked long days” - imagine the Sub-Postmasters like my father who was wrongly prosecuted and my mother trying to open the shop at 5:30am whilst being viciously abused by local community working till 7:00pm and facing racism?! 😒
#PostOfficeScandal
If it wasn’t for mum the house of cards would’ve collapsed - mum ran the shop when villagers racially abused while my father was bedridden and unable to get up given accusations by Post Office and Horspath Parish Council.
Mum is stronger than Paula Vennells.

Your mum and dad must be very strong to have gone thru all the post office scandal. They look so happy. Hope they and the rest get the results they should have. Disgusting the way they have all been treated

If there is one obvious observation that has come out of

is the fact Ron Warmington and Ian Henderson at the material time when dealing with Post Office from 2012 have exceptionally good memory contrary to Post Office executives and lawyers.
#PostOfficeScandal
Angela ven den Bogerd claims “I didn’t have the technical expertise in IT”, yet she made statements to Sub-Postmasters (including my dad) in written format to assert “Horizon is robust and phantom transactions are not possible”.
#PostOfficeScandal
#PostOfficeInquiry
I agree. Thank you for your quote tweet.
This is one the main questions for me…
I have always said to my father since 2011, “dad, computers are not 100% nor is software.”
How can 900 sub-postmasters all of a sudden be dishonest?
#PostOfficeScandal
#MrBatesVsThePostOffice
Post Office knew Horizon system was faulty but chose not to listen to postmasters - on the contrary they fought by conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
It played for them to gain bonuses on recoveries and close down rural branches for transformation.
#PostOfficeScandal
@ITV
@ITVX
What I don’t understand is how the Post Office didn’t see it as odd that so many individuals were embezzling money? Surely they would have seen a spike in cases and realised something was awry? Or maybe I’m being naïve?
{Phase 4 -
#PostOfficeScandal
}
Most of this phase has been dominated by this such behaviour: if not all the Investigators or Lawyers cannot remember events.
I recall when the officer came and put a tag on my dad’s ankle and I remember the local councillor tried to bully me.
My dad didn’t even tell me day of court hearing - he knew I’d be very upset and distraught if I had known or if he was sent to prison in front of my eyes.
Angela ven den Bogerd knew days before 8th December 2010 that Horizon had issues.

‘People deserve to go to prison’ over Post Office scandal says former subpostmaster Janet Skinner, who was sent to prison over an alleged £59,000 discrepancy in her branch accounts.
Paula Vennells used her position as Minister of Church of England subliminally in an attempt to add weight to her accusation against my father and thousands of innocent Subpostmasters, our citizens that were locked up, bankrupted and lost homes.
#PostOfficeScandal
The fact that this woman was a CEO, a priest and awarded a CBE…
Reminds us that we live in a system where often the most curdled cream rises to the top.
Post Office led a campaign of hate towards my dad (Vipin Patel of Oxford) after his wrongful prosecution - our lives turned from being comfortable and planning for the future to a day by day nightmare by some in the local community.
#PostOfficeScandal
#MrBatesVsThePostOffice
'They wanted to drive us out of the village. Facing another day was a nightmare.'
Vipin Patel is a former subpostmaster and is yet to see any compensation from the Post Office. Vipin was falsely convicted of stealing £34,000.

Post Office investigators who held power and authority to investigate chose to behave like thugs for “yearly objectives that were bonus worthy based on successful prosecutions and recovery amounts of money to the business” - shocking!

Today I was on Channel 5 News and I am calling on the Government to exonerate the remaining unsafe convictions of around 800 Postmasters.
Further, £600k turned into an interim for ALL postmasters across the schemes.
There are growing calls for the former head of the Post Office, Paula Vennells, to have her CBE removed in the wake of the Horizon scandal.
Hundreds of Post Office workers were wrongly convicted of theft and fraud - some of the victims even served time in prison.
