Post Office stole in excess of £75,000 from my dad - he had to cash-in his Royal Mail pension, sell mother’s family heirlooms and assets in order to repay the Horizon generated shortfall. He is disabled.
Ed Davey could’ve stopped it.

- The catastrophic harm Post Office has inflicted to Postmasters around the country is unforgivable. My father’s health will never improve and sadly get worse, yet Post Office continues to harm claimants by so-called Public Interest cases and humiliating them. #PostOfficeScandal
- Lovely to see mother receiving much recognition by locals for her support to father and retaining Horspath Stores following public awareness raised by #MrBatesVsThePostOffice. She’s worked tremendously hard with the determination to hold the fort from 2011. #PostOfficeScandal
- Mother and father in recent times - as much as I concentrate on my fathers deteriorating health problems brought on by #PostOfficeScandal, it’s important I express how happy mum is with dads bravery - I hope victims of #PostOfficeScandal that get their convictions overturned soon
- 14 years ago today, Post Office came into our village shop and alleged a £34k shortage and suspended dad - what followed was not only the malicious prosecution of dad but sinister harassment towards my parents by some in the community. 14 years and #PostOfficeScandal continues!
- Post Office's fraud team got BONUSES for each postmaster they jailed: Investigators including man who dismissed Horizon victims as 'crooks' were given thousands of pounds and have KEPT the cash. Gary Thomas was my dad’s investigator 👀 #PostOfficeScandal
- Britians oldest #PostOfficeScandal victim speaks out - 'Betty Brown, 91, said she was forced to quit by managers who blamed her age for the financial losses at the branch' while her husband was dying. Post Office truly is like a mafia organisation.
- I recall being at the High Court, it was emotional and a triumph. That moment was so enormous I debated in my mind, should I call dad or shake Patrick Green QCs hand,I chose the latter but eventually called dad with excitement 😂 #PostOfficeScandal #MrBatesVsThePostOffice
- In 2011, villagers wanted my father dead by publishing “wanted dead or alive posters” - in 2016 this 👇 Paula Vennells & Co during their tenure at Post Office need to be held accountable for the catastrophic harm on my father. #PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry
- Mr Vipin Patel of Oxford was prosecuted by at least one Post Office investigator who knew of bugs - he was again targeted by Post Office in the months following. Dad has NOT received an interim payment despite having his conviction quashed. #PostOfficeScandal @RupaHuq100% of known Post Office Horizon victims have received interim payments of up to £168k, 100% of those in the original Horizon Shortfall Scheme have received offers (>80% have accepted), 64% of all known victims have accepted full settlement, but working day and night to do more
- Paula Vennells claims, “she worked long days” - imagine the Sub-Postmasters like my father who was wrongly prosecuted and my mother trying to open the shop at 5:30am whilst being viciously abused by local community working till 7:00pm and facing racism?! 😒 #PostOfficeScandal
- If it wasn’t for mum the house of cards would’ve collapsed - mum ran the shop when villagers racially abused while my father was bedridden and unable to get up given accusations by Post Office and Horspath Parish Council. Mum is stronger than Paula Vennells. #PostOfficeScandalReplying to @VarchasPatelYour mum and dad must be very strong to have gone thru all the post office scandal. They look so happy. Hope they and the rest get the results they should have. Disgusting the way they have all been treated
- My dad cashed in his Royal Mail pension, mum sold family heirlooms, dad faced “mob like behaviour” from some locals in Horspath (Oxford) wanting him dead, and Post Office leadership spent hundreds of millions defending in High Court? Unforgivable! #PostOfficeScandalA draft report uncovered by the BBC shows the Post Office spent £100m of public money fighting sub-postmasters in court despite knowing its defence was untrue. Latest investigation w/ @tomjbeal 🚨 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-686637…
- My thanks to both Ian Henderson (@forensicgod) and Ron Warmington (@RonRwarming) for their courage. Both men have showed what “truth over power” reflects. Disgraceful how both men were treated by Post Office. #PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry
