  AT 93 BETTY BROWN IS STILL FIGHTING Betty Brown just turned 93 and picked up an OBE from King Charles at Windsor Castle. Lovely photo. Lovely medal on a lovely jacket. What she still does not have, six months after settling her claim, is a single penny of the compensation she was promised. Betty and her late husband Oswall ran the Annfield Plain Post Office in County Durham from 1985 to 2003. The Horizon accounting system built by Fujitsu @fujitsu_uk told them money was missing from their branch. It was not missing. It was never missing. They spent around 100,000 pounds of their own savings covering shortfalls that did not exist, because that is apparently the correct response when a computer accuses you and nobody in charge believes the human standing in front of it. She is thought to be the oldest surviving victim of the Horizon scandal. She was one of the original 555 claimants who backed Alan Bates in the group legal action against the Post Office @PostOffice. She reached a settlement through the government redress scheme at the end of last year. At her OBE investiture in June she said she still had not received a penny. Meanwhile Fujitsu, the company whose faulty software caused this entire catastrophe, has been criticised by a committee of MPs for contributing nothing financially toward the redress bill, which is running toward 2 billion pounds. The company that broke the till keeps its money. The 93 year old it falsely accused of stealing from that till gets a medal instead of a bank transfer. She dedicated her OBE to the sub-postmasters who never lived to see this day. She has said before that at least 13 people are believed to have taken their own lives because of what Horizon did to them. She said she wears the honour for them because she still feels everything they felt. She also had a message for the Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, asking him directly to sort this out as quickly as he can. That is a simple sentence. It appears to be an extremely difficult instruction to follow. Britain does love turning its victims into heroes once the damage is done and the bill has gone unpaid long enough to be embarrassing. Medals are cheap. Redress schemes, it turns out, are somehow still cheaper for the people who actually owe the money.

  @ArturNadol7566 @PostOffice The worse of it....in isolation you'd question whether money had gone missing...but there were hundreds of PO sub-Masters who were apparently defrauding the system...surely that goes beyond coincidence and needed a thorough investigation....which never forthcome. Awful

  @ArturNadol7566 @PostOffice This is disgusting. After all the publicity still nothing is done? This is horrific. Poor woman. What on earth is wrong with our society, our legal system, our humanity that this is happening. And one of many. Absolutely appalling.

  @PostOffice I post a parcel, you track it and tell me you have taken it to the wrong place. God knows why. You have no idea. No update. I call you. No update. No parcel. It's the epitome of dreadful service. Can't you do better? Clearly not.
