First off I would like to say a massive thank you on behalf of the claimants for the incredible support shown so far. We hit the 1,000 signatures ahead of schedule.....targets are there to be broken right?!
We now need to double this amount before the month of January is out. The clock is ticking on the time remaining to call for a full judicial review into this scandal that dates back 20 years in total.
As Karl rightly pointed out in his latest Computer Weekly blog (https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252477142/Government-should-not-be-allowed-to-dismiss-subpostmasters-claims-over-Horizon-IT-scandal
They have hidden and distanced themselves for all these years, yet government are the only shareholder in Post Office Ltd, a have minister sitting on its board helping make decisions and are they complicit in the continued cover-up...who knows! The thing is we have the ex CEO who was in charge for a large amount and the most destructive part of the Horizon scandal now working in government and within our loved NHS (disaster impending if handled like the Post Office). Other management and chairman still collect their large salaries, bonuses and pension pots while Sub Postmasters ex and present as claimants will not recover 10% of their losses as things stand. This includes those made bankrupt, lost houses, businesses, family breakups, suicide, early deaths, convicted and imprisoned and any other direct/indirect losses....it simply is not good enough for a government owned business. They get involved in things like Sports Direct but cannot get involved in their own business, its an utter disgrace.
Most importantly we need all those responsible bringing to full public/judge scrutiny and held to account. This means an awful lot to every claimant believe me.
So all we ask is that everyone who has signed to share/tweet on social media, via whatsapp, messenger and email to ask just one of their friends/family members to take just 30 seconds to sign and we will double our signatures very easily!
Again thank you to everyone who has supported so far and look out for the next update at 2,000 signatures.
