@anthonyabrown At last..a nuanced take..I think everyone is forgetting how utterly honking we were last season and if we hadn’t signed him then I have no doubt there would have been a bigger meltdown..everyone knows he’s a Rangers man..don’t have to like it but there it is 🤷🏻♀️
@FegBizet Are you forgetting how gash we were last season? We would have sold everyone’s granny to keep him..lucky to have him for a year..no one knew we were going to have a season like this…totally up to him..it’s his career not ours..

The Quiet Dignity of Parmod Kalia (6th December 1958 –13th March, 2026)
Parmod Kalia was a trained Banker. An Associate of the Institute of Bankers. Assistant Bank Manager. Treasurer of an International Charity. A man for whom every penny had to be accounted for.
He chose the Orpington Post Office for the quiet life. Stable hours. Time with his wife and four children. The Horizon system repaid that modest ambition with a phantom shortfall of £22,202.01.
Post Office Ltd told him he was "the only one."
The National Federation of SubPostmasters — his supposed protector — told him to repay the money and fabricate a story.
He borrowed £22,000 from his Mother's life savings.
Post Office pocketed every penny. Then they prosecuted him anyway.
6 months in Prison. 14 years in hiding. 3 occasions where he nearly took his own life. A 17 year estrangement from his son Mahesh, who was just 17 when they took his father away.
Children who grew up asking: "Dad, have you taken the money?" His own children. Asking if their father was a thief. Because the State told them he was.
His conviction was finally quashed in May 2021.
He should have spent his remaining years in peace, rebuilding what was stolen. Instead, the Post Office unleashed elite City law firms to fight tooth and claw over every penny piece of his Redress.
They challenged causation. They delayed. They low-balled.
They rejected his interim claim of £100,000 on "public interest grounds."
Highly paid lawyers — billing more per hour than Parmod earned in a week — deployed forensic cruelty against a traumatised, terminally declining man whose only demand was that someone look him in the eye and say: 'we did this to you, and we are sorry'.
He tragically died on March 13, 2026. Still fighting. Still waiting. Still uncompensated. Still dignified.
The inhumane savages masquerading as lawyers who wage this war of attrition against Parmod, his family and hundreds like him will simply move on, adjust their cufflinks, sip their flat whites, and open the next file.
Another victim. Another billable hour.
This obscene tragedy simply cannot continue.
The time is long overdue for the Prime Minister to intervene — to show some leadership, some backbone, and some basic human decency.
These are not commercial disputes. These are traumatised victims of a State-sponsored crime.
The lawyers instructed to handle their redress must be ordered — ordered — to show compassion, humanity, and urgency.
Every day of delay is another day stolen. And as Parmod Kalia's demise has proved, the days run out.
Rest now, Parmod. The truth outlived them all.
The shame belongs to those who made you wait.

@OmbudsmanTweets can you explain to me why your process doesn’t work correctly and you don’t actually ask the person who raised the complaint if it has been resolved instead of taking the word of a company who quite clearly can’t be trusted? #notfitforpurpose#fhio#scssofas
@TomWitherow@thetimes Wonder if the lawyers would accept 70%..or maybe when POL send me letters telling me how to pay for a discrepancy they would accept 70%..don’t think so..
@_clearbusiness I am trying very hard to remain calm. I have submitted all the info you requested in FEBRUARY..no answer but lots of threatening letters..I just want to pay my bill! #shambolic#help
@_clearbusiness You are a disgrace of a company..I have emailed this information TWICE with no response..I’ve phoned literally 2 minutes ago to be told that I don’t have my company’s name right..I KNOW MY COMPANY NAME!! #cowboys#disgrace
@wisemandebbie@theJeremyVine@BBCRadio2 I am speechless….and as you can guess that’s something that never happens! Much love to you Debbie..I’m absolutely blown away!
It was such a privilege to compose "Marlene's Theme" - performed live today on @theJeremyVine show on @BBCRadio2 - you can here it here on BBC Sounds...just after 1.20pm :) 🎹 https://t.co/JZKCIlxitL
Really interesting visit this morning to the new Crieff Banking Hub, an excellent initiative from @CashAccessUK & @PostOffice. A great solution in communities which have lost their bank branches.
@BladeoftheS@wend1233 Whilst their actions continue to minimise my ‘business’ value and leave me looking at a future in my old age where I’ll have no pension and will probably be paying still for a PO that will take every last penny I own along with my sanity and dignity..
