"This miscarriage of justice involved wrongful prosecution of hundreds of sub-postmasters and mistresses for alleged theft and fraud, based on faulty information".
Quote from Judgment (No.6) “Horizon Issues”:
"The proposition that Horizon worked as it was supposed to is an obviously flawed one. Indeed, that proposition is also inconsistent with common sense."
Interestingly the BBC reports that, "Alan Bates, who led the campaign to expose the Post Office Horizon IT scandal, has been nominated to be given the freedom of the city of Liverpool."
Adding that, "Mr Bates, who now lives in Llandudno in North Wales, was born in Liverpool. Labour MP for Liverpool West Derby, Ian Byrne, has tabled a motion calling for the former sub-postmaster to be given the honour in recognition of his 'resilient and determined campaigning".

Alan Bates’s determination and advocacy have played a crucial role in exposing injustices caused by the Post Office Horizon IT scandal.
His fight continues to resonate as a powerful example of seeking accountability and fairness in the face of adversity.
Time to ensure that justice is delivered now for those who were wronged.
With this in mind, let's see Alan Bates made a life peer, to continue his work and ensure that justice is seen to be done!
