Its harder than ever for genuine #whistleblowers to be believed and therefore vital opportunities to stop abuse and other wrongdoing are being missed. The below case sums up everything that is wrong, #WBUK will champion the fake as whistleblowers for the right price and as a direct consequence have turned #Whistleblowing into a tawdry circus where far too many claiming to be #Whistleblowers are liars, bully's, con artists and criminals. #WBUK have turned #Whistleblowing on its head to the extent #Whistleblowing is becoming synonymous with being the abuser not the champion of the abused

My house is sinking. All my independent reports show the insurer lied. The Financial Ombudsman Service @financialombuds investigator read only the blatant lies the insurer gave him.

PPE MONEY: WHAT HAS DHSC CLAWED BACK?

The ICO has ruled DHSC can't use law-enforcement or confidentiality exemptions to hide what it has recovered from Covid PPE suppliers.

It must disclose by 8 November, 30 days from the 9 October ruling.

We're watching.

Thanks, Tracy. If WBUK has been advising the FCA, the FCA should say so publicly and on what terms. Whistleblowers deserve to know who shapes the rules meant to protect them. I'll look into it.

Please note that throughout #covid #WBUK did not publish a single report or piece of work, they did not mention what was going in care at all. What they did do was make malicious alligations to the @ChtyCommission at a time when this charity was supporting hundreds of #Whistleblowers and we had a 60% increase in helpline calls. We are eternally grateful to @PrivateEyeNews for exposing the weaponised malicious attack, which resulted in @ChtyCommission apologising to us.
#WBUK needs to apologise to us and to those we were supporting throughout the pandemic.
Please note*We have full screen shots of the #WBUK website throughout the pandemic.

WBUK just cannot do accuracy/detail -it’s number 1 in Practical Guides to Law, an Amazon subcategory.
As I understand it, the SRA have agreed to take another look.

9 years of the BC NDP 😱 We have suffered and sacrificed under their tyranny. They took our Hospice from us ($8 million of our assets) because we refused to kill our patients with MAiD. We stood to defend authentic Palliative Care and we have survived 😢 Tonight we have HOPE! Hope that the new BC Conservative government will allow us to build a Sanctuary Hospice - to honour and affirm our patients lives and care for them until their natural end. ♥️

@SueFlood52 has been a tenacious campaigner for many years and she has done a superb job raising awareness of the lived experience of pension scam victims.

I've had the privilege of getting to know Sue well and I know she has always given 100% of herself for the benefit of others; she's a true inspiration, and always so impactful when she speaks about the plight of the victims.

So to learn of this development is very sad.

I just hope Sue makes a full and speedy recovery.

Very best wishes to you, friend; and all the other victims working together to make a difference to others.

So sorry to hear this, Lee. RIP Heather.

Another subpostmaster gone before full and fair redress was paid. How many more will die waiting?

Every month of delay is a choice made by @PostOffice and government.

[Artur Nadolny @ArturNadol7566]

LAWYERS PAID FIRST

Government figures show £17.6m in legal costs on the Overturned Convictions scheme. That is equal to 26% of the redress paid.

These postmasters had already been cleared by the courts.

Why does it cost so much to pay people we already know were wronged?

[Tracy Austin @TracyAustin_]

Very concerning. There is also her role at WBUK (Safeguarding Director) & its associated behaviours against #CSA victims & whistleblowers to consider.

COMPUTER SAYS PAY

HMRC is set to get powers to take unpaid tax straight from people's bank accounts, @thetimes reports.

Postmasters were once told a computer proved they owed money. It didn't.

Who checks HMRC's figures before the money goes? @HMRCgovuk

#whistleblowers (WBs) need proper protection. True WBs want no reward; they want concerns investigated by employers&not covered up2protect reputations. So many vulnerable people have been abused, hurt&even died because WBs concerns not acted on&WBs sacked if continuing2speak up.

[Jennifer Brown @JenGwenBrown]

Please read @CompassnInCare She's right. As a #Whistleblower I & three other employees raised concerns. We felt proper action had not been taken2stop abuses&wrongdoing. We reported our concerns2appropriate persons mentioned in WB policy including PSOW all refused 2B involved.

AUDITED TO DEATH

Jayakanthan Sivasubramaniam took his life hours after auditors raided his branch. @PostOffice has been so sorry about it that it refused his widow a penny.

Jayakanthan was 35 and a father of two. He ran three convenience stores in south west London and had recently taken on a Post Office branch in Putney. In March 2005, Post Office investigators raided that branch in what the company calls an audit, and he took his own life a few hours later !!!

His wife, Gowri Sivasubramaniam, had taken their two children to a family birthday party. She came home and found him.

Gowri says two investigators took files from the store and locked her husband out that day, according to her account to MPs on the Business Committee.

Post Office said £180,000 had gone missing from the cash machine and the safe. @itvnews correspondent John Ray reported in April 2024 that there is no proof of what happened to that money, only unanswered questions, which is a lot of accounting for something that cannot be accounted for.

Speaking publicly for the first time, Gowri told ITV News she believes Post Office is to blame. She waited 20 years to say it, and Post Office is still working on its reply.

For anyone new to this, Horizon is the computer system Post Office used to record branch accounts, and it made money look missing that was not there. More than 700 branch managers were convicted on its data and the system was later found to be faulty. For years the company called it robust, which is a brave review for software that wrecked hundreds of lives.

Gowri says that in the weeks after he died, Post Office kept writing to her to chase the missing money.

She rebuilt her family's life, spent time in Sri Lanka and settled in Liverpool. When the Horizon scandal became public, she applied to the Horizon Shortfall Scheme in August 2020, which exists to compensate people hit by Horizon shortfalls. About 3 years later she got her answer, so nobody can say they rushed...

The answer was - NO.

A Post Office letter, reported by The Times @thetimes, said the contract was held by her husband's company, so the scheme does not extend to her claim.

The panel that decides these claims, which Post Office and the government describe as independent, said it had no reason to doubt that the audit had a profound impact on him and ended with him taking his own life ...

... It then said the discrepancies found at the audit could not, on the balance of probabilities, be presumed to be Horizon shortfalls. So the audit ended his life, and as far as the scheme is concerned, the audit does not count.

Nobody wrote that rejection by accident. A person chose every word and a person chose to send it to a widow. I assume customer satisfaction is through the roof.

Here is the SHOCKING (?!) part. According to ITV News, even Post Office accepts there is no Horizon transaction data for his branch and only limited relevant documents. A panel has therefore ruled on what a computer did with no data from that computer, which takes real confidence ...

Kevan Jones, then a Labour MP and now Lord Beamish, sits on the Horizon Compensation Advisory Board. He told ITV News Post Office has either destroyed or lost records and that the benefit of the doubt should go to the victim. Misplacing the evidence is a remarkable way to win an argument.

He also told The Times the case revealed a complete lack of compassion from Post Office and the panel, and he demanded that it be reopened. Compassion, it seems, was out of stock..

Then came a statement, which costs nothing and pays nothing. Post Office told ITV that every claim is assessed by an independent panel, that its offer can be disputed and re-examined, and that it is deeply sorry for the pain and suffering Horizon has brought to many people. It also recognises that the claim relates to truly tragic circumstances.

Read that statement slowly.

Post Office has cast Horizon as the only villain in this story, because Horizon shortfalls are the only thing the scheme pays for, and a computer makes a very convenient villain since it cannot answer back. The raid, the lock-out and the payment reminders never make it onto the form, which is handy for the people who sent them!

Then Post Office hands the verdict to a panel and calls that independence. Deciding what a computer did at a branch with no computer records is playing God, and even the real one would check the file first.

In a letter filed with the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry @PostOffInquiry, a barrister acting for Gowri says the only known surviving document about her husband's case is the investigation report Post Office wrote in 2005. The barrister says Post Office accepts that the report points to a gap between the cash in the machine and the machine's printouts, which Post Office says is not related to Horizon. So the company is marking its own homework ...

In that letter, dated 5 September 2024, the barrister argues that cash machine accounting was known to be flawed, citing a 2013 report on Post Office fraud and compliance. The letter says Simon Recaldin of Post Office had asked Gowri for more information about where the audit shortfalls came from, almost 20 years after the event, and the barrister calls that utterly unrealistic. So finding the evidence is now the widow's job.

In July 2025, the chair of the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, Sir Wyn Williams, reported that at least 13 people are thought to have taken their own lives because of the scandal.

He criticised an unnecessarily adversarial attitude from Post Office and its advisers towards redress and called for close family members to be compensated. It took a public inquiry to suggest the families might be owed something...

Post Office is 100% owned by the government..
