Mr Bates vs the Post Office

On the subject if compensation the courts should give a deadline, look at the blood scandal, they are still waiting, like with the post they are hoping people die so they don’t have to pay out, they should be allowed to nominate a next of kin to get it. The fire service are waiting on compensation due to the pension debacle and they are now dragging that out after 4/5 years of been told to pay up. I don’t even think we wil get it, unless Labour win and just sort this shit out.
 
Saw the minister for the postal service on gmb today , tried to say that all of the victims had been given compensation , after some pushing he admits it is less than twenty but there has been offers put to all of them. Hmmm i thought of the covid tests and how they were counted when they were put in the post and not actually when they had been recieved back and tested , spin by this tired bunch of cunts

Read somewhere people involved got £600,000 each. I don’t know how much a local post office turns over but if you were running a business like that over numerous years and you lost it, plus your life savings, home, the stress of being branded a criminal is that really enough?
 
Decades ago, had an in law who was a postmaster, he disappeared abroad, with the story being he’d ’ripped off the Post Office and done a runner’.
Several years ago, he turns up again and within a couple of years committed suicide, general story being his past, and past debts, had finally caught up with him, got me wondering if there’s a link and he was actually a victim of this.

The main guy from the group said yesterday not everyone has had money and those who did got an interm payment of a few grand , also two ladies were on this morning yesterday saying they are still fighting on money front as well as having their sentances overturned . It is a complicated mess

Thing is this doesn't even touch the sides plenty had unexplained shortages (we had a few in the £000's )and just made good the money POL have got away with stealing this money if you multiply that out across the network it comes in as millions of revenue that shouldn't be there surely that must show somewhere. Also we were oblivious all this was going on at the time neither the Post office or the Federation ever contacted us to see if we were affected I expect POL would already know as we had made calls to the helpline.

I think the government are trying to low ball offers to settle instead of getting to the root of it and giving people a fair settlement when and you say we are talking a scam on a mega level

Not watched the series yet as the real people have been talking on the morning shows so i dont want to mix up the two, will watch the series at some point
 
Not watched the ITV series, but have seen some of the information floating about on the inquiry.

If you want a good demonstration of the calibre of people in senior positions at the Post Office at the time, I would encourage watching some of the shit show interviews.

Here’s just one example, a line manager who was in charge of somewhere between 27 and 112 post office sub-postmasters. I say somewhere between because she doesn’t remember how many (seriously). In fact she seemingly doesn’t remember providing an 80-page annotated and signed witness statement to the court. The worst part is, she seems so incapable of the most rudimentary rational thought that I 100% believe she didn’t provide half the content of her own statement. But it’s her signature at the bottom and her comments throughout.

There’s plenty more examples… how does anybody like this who can’t grasp really basic stuff get put in a position of such responsibility like being the official line manager for over 100 people? Boggles the mind.
