Our podcast this week - bankrupt postmasters are having huge chunks of payouts taken to pay debtors, others are being offered far less than they should be, and some have waited years for nothing so far. @nickwallis audioboom.com/posts/8211156-…

“Thugs in suits” “rotten to the core” “living in the 18th century” - reaction to Post Office use of racist terms to describe postmasters: “The very people who oversaw this rotten culture are not being held to account… there’s got to be a day of reckoning.” With @Rebeccathomson_
The Post Office was described last night as “rotten to the core” after internal documents showed it had used racist terms to classify postmasters it wrongly investigated for fraud thetimes.co.uk/article/living…
This by @nickwallis/@Rebeccathomson_ covers the #PostOfficeScandal compensation hearing so well. Asks why dozens of us lawyers were there getting paid to quibble and fight when victims are facing microwaved Xmas dinners. How long must this go on? audioboom.com/posts/8211156-…
The @PostOffInquiry compensation hearing. Bureaucratic tedium and heartbreaking misery. Features @CastletonLee @wendybuffrey @ArchNichola Parmod Kalia, Tim Moloney, @edwardhenry1 and Sam Stein: audioboom.com/posts/8211156-… @Rebeccathomson_ #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal
Respect to all survivors of the Horizon Scandal who attended the Inquiry today or followed remotely. Your legal teams did a phenomenal job in exposing the chaos of compensation & the devastating effect this is having for all. You’ve endured far too much without this added abuse.
@nickwallis @Rebeccathomson_ Great work - keep it up! However, could I please ask if you could look at the reporting guidance from @MindCharity ? Lots of helpful points will help you cover this sensitive subject (for example, there's one word in this thread that's best avoided) samaritans.org/about-samarita…
#PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry The Sub-Postmasters who were the victims of the UK's greatest miscarriage of justice deserve our support. Great to meet some of the sub-postmasters involved, @nickwallis, @Rebeccathomson_, @ElCShaikh, @bathpublishing at demo this morning.
I will be attending the #PostOfficeInquiry special compensation hearing with m’colleague @Rebeccathomson_ to interview Subpostmasters, listen to the submissions from their lawyers and hear what the Post Office and govt have to say. Hopefully at the IDRC from 9am.
🚨 Postmaster lawyers are furious over Post Office Scandal compensation schemes: 🚩 Almost every shortfall compensation has been undervalued. Lawyers pushed one claim up by £100,000 - shocking. 🚩 Postmasters driven to bankruptcy get 'next to nothing' after creditors are paid.
I’m impartial about most things but the false prosecution of more than 700 postmasters leaves me very angry and it just gets worse. Yet no one at the PO or the computer firm Fujitsu has suffered at all. The word scandal does not cover it.
@Rebeccathomson_ @nickwallis Just listened to this eoodi. Appreciate your guidance. Grim listening. It really is like watching a slow car crash.
@Rebeccathomson_ @HugoCDaniel @DeirdreC65 Half of what the government is willing to pay. Moores is the only bankruptcy firm not allowing the full payment, all the others have. Their fees are unreal and most of us owe more now to them, then we did on being made bankrupt. Pure greed, crooks in suits 😡
@CWU_Huw @beisgovuk @CommonsBEIS @marionfellows @KateOsborneMP @CastletonLee @mkiceburnmarko @Karlfl I have my statement of my bankruptcy. The figures being charged are huge. Even after the last payment made after the trial. The interest in those two years now comes to more than I owed in the first place. About half was paid off, now it's about 80% more than I originally owed.
@nickwallis @Rebeccathomson_ The idea that details of info/advice given to a previous regime is not shared with a new Government shows how Whitehall traditions are more important than what is best for a country. Sir Wyn pointed out the incoming Minister could simply ask Post Office for detail on the history
