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. #PostOfficeScandal

I don’t doubt how difficult it’s for a person to give evidence like in #PostOfficeInquiry or on the stand as they say. My father didn’t receive police protection when the mob like behaviour from Horspath Parish Council & locals occurred. #PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry

Following wrongful prosecution of Vipin Patel by Post Office it continued to harm via local Parish Council - it was mob like behaviour from locals - death threats, racism, abuse, harassment and meetings to drive dad out of the village. #PostOfficeScandal #MrBatesVsThePostOffice

Son of victim and campaigner Varchas Patel, says the Post Office scandal made his father so numb, "he couldn't even get out of bed." "There was anarchy in a village, rumours started to spread, people became horrible towards my father." @JuliaHB1 | @VarchasPatel

How do these people who worked for Post Office during just a crucial time for the business in so many different ways have: (1) no recollection (2) not read it (3) I was sent the attachment but didn’t open it. This is getting very foolish. #PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry

The Receipts/Payments Mismatch bug evidently affected my father’s branch of Horspath Post Office (Oxford) amongst other Horizon problems. Julia Marwood (named below) was my dad’s investigator - she was also working on Post Office Network Transformation… 😒 #PostOfficeScandal

5) In Aug 2010 a PO report found a bug could cause money to appear "missing" in 40 branches. Seema Misra was jailed while pregnant in Nov 2010 but was not disclosed this report. PO lawyers said they didn't think it relevant to her branch, but admitted to inquiry that was wrong.

The most insulting thing I find about #PostOfficeScandal is the fact Post Office brands the scandal as ‘Horizon IT scandal’ - Indeed Horizon played a role in discrepancies, yet it was Post Office who did prosecuting, bankrupting and destroyed lives.

The Patel family lost 'everything' because of the British postal scandal: 'The village wanted us gone' For accuracy, it wasn't the entire village, but a fraction who believed in the lies of Post Office led harm who used Horspath Parish Council. #Oxford
