Absolutely brilliant night with @nickwallis and @tonydowney67 ❤️‍🩹 thank you so much for an incredible talk and allowing us to share. Everyone was so supportive, made me feel very loved. So thank you x

[Nick Wallis @nickwallis]

Wonderful evening on stage with ⁦@tonydowney67⁩ ⁦and @katieddowney⁩ talking about the post office scandal at the @South_Mill_Arts Centre in Bishop Stortford. Southend tonight!

[Katie Downey @katieddowney]

I can’t even begin to think what life would have been like for my family and others without Alan Bates. A true hero x

@JoePajak @katieddowney @PostOffice @RosieBrock71780 @Karlfl @tonydowney67 @BBCBreakfast @nickwallis @RichardMoorhead @biztradegovuk @MichaelLCrick @BBCEmmaSimpson @RishiSunak @UKHouseofLords Glad Alan Bates knew so much about computer systems. The terrible thought that if Alan hadn’t been a SPM would the PO and Fujitsu got away with this horrendous scandal and all the SPM and their families whose lives have been ruined. This is just heartbreaking for all the families

A pleasure to meet @katieddowney and Rebekah Foot #LostChancesForSubpostmasterChildren today to discuss how I can help their campaign to ensure Fujitsu does the right thing.

Adult children of subpostmasters #HorizonScandal are victims too. Opportunities stolen; relationships damaged; mental health harmed.

So very proud!

[Katie Downey @katieddowney]

Recently spoken with @asahi Shimbun -one of the 5 largest newspapers in Japan.

@fujitsu_uk
@Fujitsu_Global

LCSC still believe Paul Pattersons' apology was the most sincere.

No legal battles - just hear what we have to say face to face.

[Katie Downey @katieddowney]

The heartbreak and trauma this has caused EVERY single family member 😞

Families ruined.

Mums and dads absent because of being wrongly sent to jail.

Mums and dads struggling to support a family.

Mums and dads no longer with us 😞

@fujitsu_uk

[Tony @tonydowney67]

In early 2000, those at the top of the @PostOffice knew exactly what was going on and chose to ignore.
@PostOffInquiry

My life along with hundreds of others in the early 2000s was being thrown against the wall, businesses ruined, families torn apart, bankruptcies, ruined health ….. and they chose to take their big salaries and ignore .

𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 is not an excuse, apologies will not be accepted.

You failed and torn so many lives apart.

Those lives are still ruined and too many are still fighting to get back what was taken from us .

Thank you for speaking to me @RefreshingPod 🎙️

So much to say - so I’m glad I got the time to speak for Lost Chances.

The SPMs need to be paid by the @PostOffice.

We want to be heard and we want to speak to @fujitsu_uk.

EXCLUSIVE 1st Podcast Interview

Johnny chats with @katieddowney about the #Horizon and #PostOffice #Scandal that's been a fixture in her family's life for over 15 years.

Listen ⬇️
🎙👂 https://t.co/wrZFDUyouH

Daughter of former SPM @tonydowney67 who was accused of stealing £35,800 from the Post Office, Tony had to file for bankruptcy. The whole incident had a terrible impact on his family.

Aged 25 Katie has set up a website Lost Chances, that aims to bring together the stories from other children affected by the Horizon/P.O Scandal, and ultimately the group aims to seek and recompense for the opportunities and lost chances.

Katie gives the background to her life, after moving to France aged 11, the struggle for her family to rebuild their existence, finding out later in life about the scandal and how bits of the puzzle have been put together. Plus shares with Johnny where's she's at now & what the future holds. Including trying to get Fujitsu to the table for the help needed for the groups aim(s).

The mission is simple, to redress the chances that were taken from Katie and others in a similar position growing up.

If you've been affected by the scandal, or know someone who was, visit Katie's website below for information on how to contact the group for support, and news on the ongoing Lost Chances operation.

This is ADI's Story.
ADI is the son of SEEMA MISRA .

In 2010, Seema Misra was wrongfully convicted of stealing £75,000 from the Post Office – she spent nearly five months in Prison. ADI was just 10 years old at the time.

@ian_straughan @RosieBrock71780 @Karlfl @nickwallis @TomWitherow @RichardMoorhead @rbrooks45 @freeths I fully agree with everything you’re saying. We do not want this to take away from SPMs - the PO needs to deal with full redress for everyone! That is unquestionable! I hope you see your FULL amount very soon! Sending lots of love x
