Sir Alan Bates, a former subpostmaster and key figure in the Post Office scandal, says the government’s compensation offer covers only half of what he’s claiming. He didn’t hold back, calling the process "quasi-kangaroo courts," suggesting the system is rigged against victims.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about money—it’s about accountability. Bates has been a relentless advocate for justice in the Post Office scandal, where hundreds were wrongly accused of theft due to faulty software. If even high-profile victims like him are getting lowballed, it raises serious questions about whether the government is truly committed to making things right. The fight’s far from over.

Sir Alan Bates, a key figure in the Post Office scandal, isn’t holding back—he’s slammed the government’s compensation scheme as a "quasi kangaroo court," calling their latest offer a rigid "take it or leave it" deal. His frustration highlights ongoing tensions over how victims of the Horizon IT debacle are being treated.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about money—it’s about accountability. Bates’ outburst underscores how deeply flawed the compensation process still feels to victims, years after wrongful prosecutions ruined lives. If even the government’s attempt to make amends is being called unfair, it begs the question: Are they really fixing this, or just ticking boxes?
