Quite emotional seeing the suffering of these people. @vicderbyshire did a fantastic job interviewing the minister & the outstanding claims. It's taxpayers' money, but between 10-30% is a pitiful offer for years of injustice. Surely there are grounds to sue Fujitsu?? #Newsnight

Will it take twenty or thirty years or more to alight on the corruption at @policeconduct, @HousingOmbuds, the LGO, in fact all of the UK's 'regulators' & the machinations of @ukhomeoffice itself? Why doesn't the BBC lead instead of waiting till a story breaks & lives are ruined?

Fancy putting a 93 year old lady through all that, absolutely disgusting.

Betty is an icon. Her message is for most politicians! "Never mind all the jabber ... Get ready for some action!"
