Post Office scandal: ‘I was spat on’ says former sub-postmistress

Damage had already been done I’d had two years of persecution being spat on in the supermarket anti-depressants um I would absolutely dread going into that office on a Wednesday because I knew at the end of the day I had to press a button to see

Whether I balanced or not and I knew in my heart that I would I would never balance because it just didn’t and and prior to Horizon we balanced every week so the first six years I kept thinking is my mistakes but it wasn’t it was computer

Doing it and between even 2002 and 2008 I was paid in quite a few thousands which I haven’t accounted for we we’ve still got to carry on we’ve still got to face our communities and things the big bosses of post offs V Jitsu government they don’t have to walk through our

Communities they have no idea the pain and suffering they’ve inflicted on people

The #PostOffice #Horizon inquiry has restarted, following renewed interest in the #scandal following the airing of an ITV drama.

#Sky’s Dan Whitehead met three people affected by what has been described as the biggest miscarriage of justice in #British #legal history.

  5. I worked for a post master and he couldn’t balance the books and I got labelled a thief, he eventually found where he had went wrong but after being under suspicion for about a month I left, the trust between us was damaged beyond repair 😢 I now wonder if it was this software to blame as he was a trained accountant

  7. Jesus the kick back, from the scandal must be bad . Me man mr patel is wearing a bullet proof vest 😮😮😮

  8. Those people that demanded that post office pay the moneys .they should pay back now the money they stole from these innocent hardworking people,and i dont see how it is taking so long to pay the hard working people .as they demanded immediate pay from workers .this farce has to be sorted before the end of 2024. As this is a disgrace .if i was a postal worker i would gather all people involved and get the best lawyers in the uk and take those responsible to court . See how the shoe fits on the other foot.
    Disgraceful.just petty and from the government as well.

  11. The Post Office was very quick to steal the assets of these falsely accused victims, but are now dragging their feet to provide financial redress, never mind compensation for ruined lives and health.
