Post Office Scandal
This statement below implies that there were multiple layers of people who knew they were falsely blaming the sub postmasters.
Criminal charges should take place. If people were convicted based on their false word then surely the accusers committed perjury?
@hudgellsol lead a group of c 3,000 sub postmasters who did not get prosecuted as they paid the Post Office the "discrepancies" the PO auditors said they owed via Horizon. They owed the Post Office NOTHING
'The public and their overwhelming sympathy for the plight of these people has given some the strength to finally come forward.
'We had 50 up to yesterday and approaching another 20 today,' said @NeilHudgell.
