Corporate management culture against the “little people”. Obviously they hadn’t reckoned on dealing with someone of substance like Alan Bates. The man’s a national hero.
-
Some people from the post office need to face jail time. Nothing else would be justice.
-
One law for the rich and powerful and one for the poor, until Alan Bates came and gave them a lesson in honesty and respect.
-
If it wasn't for the tenacity of this man, the Post Office would have got away with everything. These are the kind of people we need running our country.
-
The country is in debt to this man for his bravery. And the sooner the police investigate the sooner people should be protected
-
Over 20 years fighting and suffering. 1 man bringing many together to take on all in his way.What a truly incredible, humble, warrior of a man with utter integrity. A man that is rare, that is of principle, morality and of standards that few at the very top of society display and should learn from Alan. Alan you are a hero and may the Gods give you the strength to see this through so that the wrong doers are accountable and receive the correct punishment fir their dishonourable and abhoric behaviour.
-
Mr Bates should be remembered for his bravery for standing up against a serious injustice. Legend.
-
What superb prime minister Alan Bates would make - a calm, ethical guy with a strong moral backbone. Something sadly lacking in Parliament nowadays.....
-
Jail required for the PO and Fujitsu bigwigs who knew the Horizon system was flawed, yet still pushed relentlessly to ruin peoples lives.
-
The levels of malicious intent revealed towards the sub postmasters from the Post Office "partners" just keeps growing and growing
-
The only person NOT being paid to be in that enquiry room is the very person who instigated them all being there earning millions and he STILL hasn’t been paid out 20 years later !!!!
-
The fact that he is referred to as Bates rather than Mr Bates tells us all what the Post Office thought about people that were supposedly in partnership with.
-
Jason Beer has so much respect for Alan Bates in such stark contrast to his contempt for the pathetic, squirming PO witnesses.
-
These poor people went through hell, whilst the post office bosses got huge bonuses. Fair play to Alan and the others for sticking it out, and credit to ITV for brining the scandal to light.
-
The lawyers working for the Post Office should be investigated as well!
-
Alan Bates deserves a very substantial monetary reward, let’s say 10 times the total amount Paula Vennells received during her years at the post office.
-
This man deserves a knighthood for his tenacity and for lifting people out of sheer desperation, giving them their hope and integrity back, all in the name of justice.
-
I don't believe in the honours system in our country, actors, celebrities, politicians, civil servants, sports people, it is cringe worthy the lot of them. Alan Bates should be awarded the highest award possible, he is a hero, if he were to be awarded anything it would be posthumously, because it has a lot of time yet to be dragged out and obfuscated. He would proberbly tell them to stick it up their arse. HERO
-
The post office letter is insinuating that the problem was that Mr Bates was too stupid to operate Horizon. Ironic that they said this about a man who projects intelligence so strongly.
-
This man's main advantage in this is that he presents as calm, organised, thorough and logical. Not raving or illogical.
