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.

Look at this pair of clever fkrs 👀 😆

Single Chinese man commissions triplet babies. Doesn't show up when they're born. Eventually sends two sketchy guys in a black SUV to collect them. Mother refuses.

She doesn't hear from him for a year and a half.

One triplet dies from RSV complications. She mourns like the grieving mother she is.

She and her husband are now fighting for custody. But he filed a challenge and now the babies are in foster care.

Welcome to the global baby trade. #Surrogacy.

It was a very hazy sunrise this morning in Glastonbury. Not sure if it is dust in the air but it really was very orange and the sun didn't break through the haze for quite a while.

New laws in Afghanistan, introduced by the Taliban, mean that men can now marry girls at any age – there is no limit. Male relatives can arrange this with other men, and it’s only once the girls reach puberty that, in extremely limited circumstances, they can ask a court to dissolve the marriage. What’s happening in that country is horrific, and it begs the question why Amnesty are not putting all of their resources into tackling this latest child abuse atrocity.

Spider Man Rides The Tube

Not every superhero swings through the city, some catch the tube instead.

It took a few attempts to nail the timing, but I finally made the SpiderMan poster look like Spidey is hitching a ride on a passing train. Captured at Oxford Circus station.

@TheAkoFiles Good interview. Nearly 1/4 of the girls at primary school age at daughter's school thought they were gay, not because of liking girls but because didn't like boys. Too much too young is confusing. Mum's like her would push puberty blockers. Also non parents can join red flag 🚩

🚨 Our volunteer food collection van arrived at 5:30pm to collect donated food for people experiencing homelessness.

By 5:32pm just 2 minutes later it had been issued with a £50 parking ticket.

If this happens every day, it will cost our charity £50 every time we collect food money that should be feeding people, not paying parking penalties.

We're asking @Glasgowcc City Council to work with us to find a practical solution before this begins to affect this vital service.

Please share. 💙

@owenjonesjourno It is not the job of women to protect men, even ones wearing dresses. We are not a human shield. Put pressure on your fellow men to "man up" and "be kind and inclusive".

[Lissa Evans @LissaKEvans]

There are people in public life who have turned their back on women's rights simply because their teenagers have decided to call themselves non-binary. This is exactly like changing your whole perspective on the world because your fifteen year old is a bit Gothy.

The scaffolding is finally down and I can reveal this huge back of house mural I painted a few weeks ago in Bristol! A tree bathing theme with a sleepy dragon in the corner, a great project to work on and a different direction to take my work in. #mural #streerart

Check out these statistics especially you @Sport_England still promoting mixed sex changing villages. Ask for risk assessments & why female safeguarding is being relegated if your sports centre is doing this 👇🏼

It was a gorgeous start to the day here in Glastonbury today. This was taken shortly before the one I posted earlier and as the sun broke through the low cloud layer.

Three Amnesty positions: sex buying should be legal, surrogacy is a human right, trans women are women. In each case the female body is treated as something available for others' use. https://t.co/ozJPwkOIpv
