POST OFFICE BANKRUPTED A MAN AFTER HE ASKED FOR HELP 91 TIMES

Lee Castleton @CastletonLee did not hide the problem.

He reported it 91 times in just 12 weeks.

He kept telling the @PostOffice that Horizon was showing losses he could not explain.

Their response was to audit him, suspend him, demand around £25,000 and eventually bankrupt him.

In 2003, Lee Castleton and his wife sold their home and bought a small Post Office branch in Bridlington, hoping for a quieter life by the sea with their two young children.

Within a year, Horizon was showing unexplained shortages.

When the case reached the High Court, he could not afford a lawyer and represented himself.

He lost.

The Post Office then pursued him for about £321,000 in legal costs.

He was bankrupted.

His children were bullied at school. His daughter was spat at because people believed her father was a thief. His wife's health suffered.

In 2019, he was one of more than 550 former postmasters in the group litigation that ended with a £58 million settlement.

His share was around £20,000.

Years later, former Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells told the Horizon IT Inquiry that his treatment had been unforgivable. She also accepted that she had probably signed off the legal costs that helped bankrupt him.

He is now pursuing the Post Office and Fujitsu for up to £8 million, arguing that the original 2007 judgment was obtained by fraud.

In May 2026, the Court of Appeal ruled that his claim should proceed as one trial.

Almost two decades after those first calls for help, he is still fighting.

91 calls.

No solution.

Then bankruptcy.

🚨When the Glazers took over in 2005, United had no debt.

They bought the club with borrowed money, and since then roughly £450–£460M has been extracted in dividends.

They borrowed the money.
United inherited the debt.
They took the cash.

And if they refuse to listen, United fans need to make their voice impossible to ignore — through peaceful, lawful boycotts of Glazer-owned businesses.

OUR MONEY. OUR CLUB. OUR VOICE.

Manchester United fans have been protesting the club's ticket touting crackdown before their derby game.

It comes after United recently confirmed that 685 season ticket holders have been banned and a further 464 received either a reduced sanction or a final warning.
