They destroyed her life, financially, physically and psychologically. Just awful. I used to have faith in British justice. It now scares me.

It’s been drawn out for so long, some of it now effecting third generations…. Think on that. It’s imperative that we have answers! Through their own incompetence the Post Office now have a new set of people that will fight for their parents justice… and so it goes on.

A message to the firms of lawyers, their senior partners, their qualified employees who, seeing the unlimited Gov't cash up for grabs, prostituted their integrity and professional honesty - You have trashed a profession which hitherto had been the envy of the World. Shame on you.

Janet Skinner sums up the 'profound corruption'(James Arbuthnot, Channel 4 News, 11 Jan 2024) at the heart of the Post Office scandal in one sentence. If the people at the top break the law, nothing happens.'

A very difficult watch indeed. Hearing how she tried to shield her children from the impact had me in bits. What an awful injustice

Wow, that’s a tough watch. The right people need to go to jail this time for what they did to these poor people.

#PostOfficeCompensationScandal #PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry #Redress #HumanRights #HumanRightsViolations #Whistleblowing #Justice #StatesponsoredCrime #Mandelson #PostOfficeScandal #HumanRightsAbuse #StateSponsoredCrime #Torture #FUJITSU #MentalHealth #NeverGiveIn The Second Punishment: Post Office Scandal Survivors like Janet Skinner are being betrayed and tortured yet again. 19 years on from being maliciously prosecuted and wrongfully imprisoned this incredibly brave lady is still being forced to do battle with the Government over her claim for Redress. Janet wrote this yesterday in response to an article on LinkedIn - Quote: "The fight for Compensation has been slow, painful, and deeply traumatic. It has felt like reliving the injustice all over again—only this time, with the burden of proof placed on me to justify the suffering I’ve already endured. I was sent to Prison for a crime I did not commit. I was separated from my children, stripped of my job, and publicly shamed. That alone was a nightmare. But the aftermath has been just as cruel. I spent years learning to walk again—years of physical rehabilitation, emotional exhaustion, and mental anguish. The toll on my health has been immense. And yet, the process of seeking Compensation has become one of the hardest experiences I’ve ever faced. And I say that as someone who’s been to jail. Justice still feels out of reach. Every delay, every form, every legal hurdle is a reminder that the system still doesn’t fully see us. We were wronged. We were broken. And now we’re being asked to fight again—for recognition, for dignity, for what we’re owed. This isn’t just about money. It’s about Accountability. It’s about healing. And it’s about making sure no one else ever has to endure what we have and still do." Unquote I am humbled to have met Janet and so proud to be able to count this beautiful human being as really good friend. Janet and the other Survivors with more complex cases as a result of being wrongfully given Criminal sentences really do deserve so much better from the State. Dear Keir Starmer, You were a Human Rights Lawyer prior to entering politics. Please Deal with this ongoing abuse and demand that these innocent people are handled with the respect, dignity and humanity they deserve.

#PostOfficeScandal Tonight on Channel 4 News with Jackie Long there was an exclusive report by alex thomson & Nanette van der Laan that revealed for the first time a secret contract between Post Office and Fujitsu UK For years, the Post Office and Fujitsu covered up the bugs in their faulty Horizon computer software, blaming the subpostmasters using it. Thousands had their lives ruined. Some took their own lives. Now Channel 4 News has obtained a 2006 contract between the two companies – overlooked despite being uploaded to the Post Office Inquiry’s website – which a forensic accountant who investigated the Horizon scandal has described as “dynamite”. Featuring Tracy Felstead Lee Castleton OBE Ron Warmington Liam Byrne MP The fact Post Office denied remote access was possible until days before the High Court 2nd trial in 2019 when there was a contract that was signed in 2006, shows just how far they were prepared to go to keep this document out of the public domain. For it to come to light almost 20 years after it was first signed is a disgrace. It was not disclosed to the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry so that witnesses could be cross examined on it. Now it will be up to Business and Trade Committee and its Chair Liam Byrne MP to uncover who knew what and when, why it wasn’t disclosed and when Fujitsu are going to start contributing to the colossal financial redress bill estimated to be £1.6 billion. At the moment it is all being carried by the taxpayer.

THE FUJITSU WAY Ah yes, the now-famous defence from Fujitsu CEO Richard Christou: “Don’t worry, fitness for purpose was excluded.” Because obviously, when you commission a national accounting system handling billions in public transactions, the one thing you definitely don’t want is for it to be… fit for purpose. Perfectly sensible. Let’s admire the craftsmanship here: Remove the implied obligation for the system to work. Replace it with hundreds of pages of explicit obligations describing exactly how it must work. Then, when it doesn’t work, point back to the bit where you removed the label and say: “Ah — you see — no requirement for it to work.” It’s like buying a car where the contract says: “Engine must start, brakes must function, steering must respond…” …but also says: “By the way, we exclude any implied term that the car is fit for driving.” Car doesn’t start? Brakes don’t brake? Steering suggests rather than turns? No problem. “Fitness for purpose was excluded.” Brilliant. Even better when the High Court later observes the System was riddled with bugs, errors, and defects capable of causing phantom losses — but never mind that. The real issue, apparently, is that everyone misunderstood the wording. Not the system. Not the outcomes. Not the people prosecuted on the back of it. The wording. Because in this worldview, if you delete the phrase “fit for purpose,” you also delete reality. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the FUJITSU WAY in miniature: The System didn’t have to work — it just had to look contractually sophisticated while not working.

#PostOfficeScandal Exclusive report tonight on Channel 4 News by chief correspondent alex thomson Nanette van der Laan that reveal secret recordings from 2013 that prove beyond doubt that both Fujitsu UK & Post Office knew that remote access was possible & that it was being used on a daily basis, at the very least for overnight corrections. The report features Second Sight investigators Ron Warmington Ian Henderson who helped expose this injustice. We also hear from Lee Castleton OBE a Postmaster bankrupted by the Post Office, who still has the civil judgement hanging over him, no redress & no accountability for those responsible. Lord Arbuthnot was visibly angry & upset, saying that it now proves that Paula Vennells lied to him & UK Parliament in February 2015 before Business and Trade Committee Lord Arbuthnot is a man of total integrity & been one of the biggest drivers for justice for Postmasters. That man deserves a medal for all he has done, it is the worst feeling knowing you were deliberately misled and lied to when attempting to uncover an injustice on as grand a scale as the Post Office, once known as the UK’s most trusted brand. The major question left unanswered is what did Alwen Lyons & lead General Counsel Susan Crichton say to Paula Vennells. Why didn’t they speak up before now? They are just as culpable, how did Post Office maintain their position up until the GLO case in 2018/2019 that remote access was not possible? The final question is was Department for Business and Trade (previously BEIS) aware of these conversations in 2013? Because the reality is had the GLO case been de-railed as planned by the PO then these revelations wouldn’t be seeing the light of day and the cover-up would have succeeded. We now have confirmation of potential perjury, cover-up, contempt of Parliament & a miscarriage of justice, the biggest in British Legal history. We must amend the upcoming Post Office Offences bill to deliver full redress under an independent process. Watch the report in below👇 #MrBatesVsThePostOffice #MrBates #MrBatesVsPostOffice

POST OFFICE PUT A CHILD IN PRISON In 2002 Tracy Felstead Tracy Felstead was a 19 year old counter clerk. She worked at the Camberwell Green Post Office branch in south London. She had left school and was proud to have a job with a company everyone trusted. Then the Post Office's Horizon computer system showed a shortfall of £11,503 at her till. Nobody checked if the machine was wrong. Post Office investigators decided Tracy was a thief. She was interviewed under caution at Peckham police station. Investigators asked her to prove she did not steal money that a computer had simply invented. They even asked if her own family had pressured her to steal. Her family scraped together the £11,500 and paid it back. They were told this could help her avoid prison. It did not work. Tracy was convicted of theft and false accounting at trial. The judge sent her to a young offender institution for 6 months. She was still a teenager. Inside, she saw things no 19 year old should see. She has said the memory of prison still comes back to her now, decades later. She has spoken about trying to take her own life twice because of what happened to her. Years later the stress caught up with her body too. She suffered a neurological breakdown that left her temporarily paralysed on one side. Tracy was not alone. Horizon was built and run by Fujitsu Fujitsu UK. Between 2000 and 2014 the Post Office prosecuted more than 700 sub-postmasters and counter staff using data from that same system. It is now officially called the biggest miscarriage of justice in British legal history. Paula Vennells Paula Vennells ran the Post Office as chief executive from 2012 to 2019. Under her watch the organisation spent millions fighting the very people it had wrongly accused, rather than admitting the software was broken. Over 1 million people later signed a petition demanding she hand back her CBE. The Court of Appeal finally quashed Tracy's conviction in 2021. 19 years after she went to prison. Nobody at the Post Office or Fujitsu spent a single night in a cell for it. In 2023 Tracy sat down with Post Office bosses in Parliament, with the support of her then MP Lucy Allan Lucy Allan. She told the chief executive to his face how to fix the compensation process. She later gave evidence to the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, chaired by Sir Wyn Williams, about what six months in a cell at 19 actually cost her. A faulty computer got 16 years of trust from an entire national institution. A teenage counter clerk got a criminal record, a prison sentence, and a mental health battle that has lasted her whole adult life. Same script every time. Protect the system first. Apologise decades later, if at all.. SOURCES: Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry BBC News (UK) The Guardian and many others.

Labour’s Cover-Up Just Took a Major Hit On Wednesday night, a small group of campaigners outmanoeuvred The Labour Party run Oldham Council and forced them to reject Yvette Cooper’s toothless local inquiry into the gang rape of Oldham’s children. This wasn’t just a victory. It was a carefully planned sabotage of the Home Secretary’s plan to keep the cover-up alive. Because let’s be clear: her so-called “inquiries” were never meant to deliver justice. They were designed to bury the truth about the industrial-scale gang rape of tens of thousands - if not over 100,000 - working-class White girls across the UK by gangs of predominantly Pakistani men. And now? Her plan is in ruins. Oldham was the only town named in Yvette Cooper’s list of five. But now, every councillor in the town has condemned her inquiry as powerless and incapable of getting anywhere near the truth. The opposition leaders in the House of Commons, including Conservatives Kemi Badenoch, Chris Philp MP, as well as Reform's Nigel Farage, Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 & Rupert Lowe MP must now play their part. They must demand that Yvette Cooper stops shielding The Labour Party politicians involved in the cover-up and launches a full National Inquiry without any further delay. They can’t ignore this. And neither can we. _________ The Fight Isn’t Over. The Truth Won’t Expose Itself. If you’re new here, my name is Raja Miah MBE. For six years, I’ve led the campaign that exposed how Labour politicians protected Pakistani Rape Gangs. You won’t see me on TV or in the mainstream press - that’s not by accident. The machine we’re up against doesn’t want the truth out. No paywalls. No restrictions. Everything I do is free. Unfortunately, our numbers aren’t where they need to be. We are up against a powerful machine: legacy media, politicians, police and public officials working together to bury the scale of this cover-up. To fight back, we need to grow. My goal is simple - just 10 new newsletter subscribers a day. Through my newsletter, I document everything in detail - the evidence, the investigations, and the fight for justice. 100% free, though if you can afford to subscribe and financially support me, it costs as little as 75p a week or £30 for the year. 👉 Don’t want to commit? A one-off contribution helps keep this work alive. 👉 👉 We cannot let the cover-up continue. The gang rape of our children will only stop if we hold to account those involved. Stand with me and help force a reckoning of the kind never seen in our lifetimes. 🙏 Raja

MEET THE BARRISTER THE POST OFFICE FEARS Here's a name that deserves to trend more than half the people who actually do. Sam Stein KC. While the Post Office was busy ruining ordinary people's lives over money that was never actually missing, Stein was in a courtroom taking it apart piece by piece. He represents most of the subpostmasters at the Post Office Horizon Inquiry Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, instructed by Howe and Co Howe + Co Solicitors, on behalf of the people the Post Office tried to bury. In 2021 he stood in the Court of Appeal representing a group of subpostmasters, instructed by Howe and Co Howe + Co Solicitors, in the same case that finally cleared Jo Hamilton Jo Hamilton and dozens of others after years of wrongful convictions. He told the judges the Post Office's refusal to investigate its own broken Horizon system, built by Fujitsu Fujitsu UK, was the longest running affront to British justice in living memory. The judges agreed and quashed the convictions. Then the public inquiry started and Stein really got going. He told the inquiry the Post Office had turned itself into "the nation's most untrustworthy brand." A blunt summary, backed by 2.2 million pages of evidence. He described former Post Office lawyer Mandy Talbot as "the Post Office's very own evil robot" after she was asked repeatedly who had directed a legal strategy built to silence a subpostmaster and kept saying she couldn't remember. Convenient amnesia. Goes around a lot in this organisation. He summed up a whole phase of hearings by calling the parade of witnesses "a rogues' gallery." Executives who forgot everything except how to protect themselves. Questioning executive Angela van den Bogerd about the Post Office's own helpline, he told her she had been "intimidating and bullying" toward subpostmistress Jennifer O'Dell, who kept calling to say she hadn't stolen a penny. She was telling the truth. Nobody listened for years. In his closing submission for phase 2, he told the inquiry to work out whether the entire scandal was a "cock-up or cook-up." By phase 3 he had his answer. Cook-up, no doubt about it. He said the Post Office spent that entire phase dodging its own failures and instead "turned its tank turret gun on Fujitsu." Subpostmasters called the organisation that prosecuted them "the abuser." Questioning former minister Pat McFadden about it, Stein got that word onto the official record, permanently. In his final closing statement, Stein made the point that mattered most. This was never really a problem with a computer. It was a problem with people, and people paid the price. He said what actually drove the scandal was "cruelty, callousness and connivance," and that people are still living with the consequences. He also named former CEO Paula Vennells, executive Angela van den Bogerd and in-house lawyer Jarnail Singh as part of a rogues' gallery remembered for lies and incompetence, and pointed out £37 million received by the Post Office is still unaccounted for. Nobody's chasing it. Urgency always disappears when it's the institution's own money at stake. He also said the external law firm Cartwright King failed subpostmasters, because by the time its lawyers were brought in, they had become company men. Stein also pushed the inquiry to recommend actual restorative justice. Counselling for postmasters and their families. Bursaries for children whose education was wrecked. A permanent memorial. Reputations rebuilt in the small communities where they were destroyed. Volume 1 of the final report landed in July 2025. The rest keeps slipping. Current estimate is September 2026, and even that looks optimistic. A criminal investigation into the Post Office is on hold waiting for it. People keep dying while they wait to be believed. The Post Office spent two decades hoping this would quietly disappear. Sam Stein KC made sure it never got the chance. SOURCES ComputerWeekly Law Society Gazette BBC News (UK) and many others.
