Alan Bates turned down an OBE as Paula Vennells, the woman in charge of the Post Office through the Horizon Scandal, retains her CBE and refuses to give it back.
A man of honour ๐๐ผโค๏ธ

Alan, 69: โThe first thing that sprang to my mind while reading the letter (offering me an OBE) was Paula Vennells still had a CBE. I felt so deeply insulted. She presided over a policy of harassing hundreds of innocent people. Itโs not just that the Government hasnโt asked her to return it. Whatโs even worse is that despite knowing the strength of feeling about it, how people have suffered and some cases died on her watch โ she doesnโt feel inclined to give it back.โ
Alan accepted a @PrideOfBritain award in 2023.
We were over the moon to give that to him.

We have all watched things that make us angry. I have rarely seen anything that made me so angry. Some people in authority *knew* that many innocent people were systematically being sent to jail whilst they lied about this. What will happen to those who knew? #MrBatesvsPostOffice
