Public opinion and pressure by many people in positions of influence are working against a harsh bureaucracy and systemic injustice that has ruined so many lives. The Post Office scandal has angered folk throughout the country, especially in the wake of the TV drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office.
Campaigns and petitions are now wanting answers and activity from the Government and those who are able to deliver justice for the innocent victims of this scandalous situation. It is a situation that should never have taken so long to resolve. It has been called the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history.
Despite warnings and clear evidence, the Post Office board of management and IT executives ignored the facts and appear to have acted iniquitously. Some senior managers took huge salaries and payments that they did not deserve for poor performance and mendacity, cloaking and dissembling.
The CBE awarded to Paula Vennells for services to the Post Office has been a very painful slap in the face for honest and innocent sub-postmasters so callously convicted on her watch. Thousands, moving towards a million, are now demanding for this award to be revoked, and even returned. It was a disgraceful and despicable decision to award this CBE in the light of her unethical behaviour at the Post Office. It is hoped that Mrs Vennells will now follow the example of Zacchaeus the tax collector by showing true repentance, and taking the matter much further by engaging in restitution, restorative justice by helping those she has harmed.
There are others who have harmed and harassed the innocent victims. Let justice be done and seen to be done. The public's fury is certainly intensifying.
