#PostOfficeScandal: Congratulations, Sir Alan Bates!
'The Post Office campaigner Alan Bates has been knighted in recognition of his role in exposing the Horizon IT scandal, one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British history.' Report via @ccdavies @guardian:
Quote: "The Post Office campaigner Alan Bates has been knighted in the king’s birthday honours in recognition of his role in exposing the Horizon IT scandal, one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British history."
"The former post office operator and founder of the Justice for Sub-postmasters Alliance said he was accepting the honour “on behalf of the group” of branch operators and the “horrendous things that had happened to them.”
Quote from: Business Matters, 'the UK’s largest business magazine':
"The relentless campaigner who uncovered the Horizon IT scandal, has been knighted in the King’s Birthday Honours. This recognition highlights his critical role in one of the most significant miscarriages of justice in British history."
Absolutely, and the next logical step, after the general election, would be to recommend a peerage?
We call upon the next UK Prime Minister and the Monarch to appoint Alan Bates as a Life Peer.
