AT 93 BETTY BROWN IS STILL FIGHTING

Betty Brown just turned 93 and picked up an OBE from King Charles at Windsor Castle. Lovely photo. Lovely medal on a lovely jacket. What she still does not have, six months after settling her claim, is a single penny of the compensation she was promised.

Betty and her late husband Oswall ran the Annfield Plain Post Office in County Durham from 1985 to 2003. The Horizon accounting system built by Fujitsu @fujitsu_uk told them money was missing from their branch. It was not missing. It was never missing.

They spent around 100,000 pounds of their own savings covering shortfalls that did not exist, because that is apparently the correct response when a computer accuses you and nobody in charge believes the human standing in front of it.

She is thought to be the oldest surviving victim of the Horizon scandal. She was one of the original 555 claimants who backed Alan Bates in the group legal action against the Post Office @PostOffice.

She reached a settlement through the government redress scheme at the end of last year. At her OBE investiture in June she said she still had not received a penny.

Meanwhile Fujitsu, the company whose faulty software caused this entire catastrophe, has been criticised by a committee of MPs for contributing nothing financially toward the redress bill, which is running toward 2 billion pounds.

The company that broke the till keeps its money. The 93 year old it falsely accused of stealing from that till gets a medal instead of a bank transfer.

She dedicated her OBE to the sub-postmasters who never lived to see this day. She has said before that at least 13 people are believed to have taken their own lives because of what Horizon did to them. She said she wears the honour for them because she still feels everything they felt.

She also had a message for the Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, asking him directly to sort this out as quickly as he can. That is a simple sentence. It appears to be an extremely difficult instruction to follow.

Britain does love turning its victims into heroes once the damage is done and the bill has gone unpaid long enough to be embarrassing.

Medals are cheap. Redress schemes, it turns out, are somehow still cheaper for the people who actually owe the money.

So, we are told that a £12,000 a year pension is unsustainable, (even though you have paid into it for the last 35years!) Yet paying £40,000 a year to house, and feed, an illegal migrant, who shouldn't be here and has paid nothing into the system is ok!

The state pension is not a benefit.
It is one side of a verbal contract stated thousands of times by successive governments that if you pay National Insurance over your working life you will receive a state pension when you retire.

Ed Miliband has just pledged £11.6 BILLION in overseas climate aid.

Yes, £11.6 BILLION.

While millions of British families are struggling with soaring energy bills, waiting weeks for a GP appointment, unable to find an NHS dentist and watching public services decline, Labour's Energy Secretary is promising to send billions abroad in the name of "global climate leadership."

As if that wasn't enough, he's also announced another £79 million for clean energy projects in Africa and small island states.

Meanwhile, back in Britain, Net Zero targets keep slipping, major energy projects are delayed, our grid is under increasing pressure and households are still footing the bill.

🚨 LBC Caller’s Blistering Rant Says What Millions In The UK Are Feeling Right Now 🔥

“I’m genuinely concerned about the direction of travel under the progressive left in this country who no longer tolerate or listen to any points other than their own.”

He continued: “I’m tired of being called a fascist and a racist… I’m tired of people saying that nationalism is a dirty and unacceptable word. I’m proud of my country. We want people coming to this country contributing, respecting and upholding our culture, our values and our laws.”

Well said 👏🏻

This isn’t fringe, it’s how a huge chunk of the country feels. Yet those in power refuse to listen, fuelling more anger and frustration.

How would you best describe Ann Widdecombe? I’ll go first…

A courageous, independent spirit who stood by her convictions no matter the cost. A woman of immense tenacity, razor-sharp wit and unwavering principle, who loved her country, cherished her Christian faith unwaveringly.

So Andy Burnham (who is not even the PM) will go ahead with the Chagos fiasco.

What normal people would hand over something that belongs to them for free then lease it back at the cost of
£35billion to the taxpayer 🤔

And yet they have the nerve to say the triple lock is unsustainable.

We are living in a Clown World 🤡
