@Jugistoteles Not published but I think Derin Kent at Warwick is working on this too! Happy to connect your student

@DrKorica I was asked in a talk who my favorite org theorist was, and replied with a name, then the person who asked the q told me “that’s strange he’s not an org theorist” I felt so embarrassed and afterwards I looked up the profile & the person’s main research interest is org theory

Glad to play a small role in helping the #PostOffceScandal story reach an even wider international audience through @TheWorld - thanks for having me and more importantly elevating the victims' stories theworld.org/media/2024-01-…

@tim_brentnall @nickwallis @WarmingtonRjw @forensicgod @ElCShaikh @chrish9070 @scullyp @kevinhollinrake excellent interview!

youtu.be/Bxxrno1IKfY?si… BBC radio 4 The world tonight, interview following select committee hearing on post office and Fujitsu. #PostOffceScandal #PostOfficeInquiry #MrBatesVsThePostOffice @nickwallis @WarmingtonRjw @forensicgod @ElCShaikh @chrish9070 @scullyp @kevinhollinrake

Excellent analysis of the #PostOffceScandal and its connection to other cases of "the abuse of unaccountable power" theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Post Office's compensation scheme is designed to minimise payouts. One postmaster received £15.75. That isn't a typo. I count nine ways the Post Office's HSS compensation scheme is rigged:

@nickwallis Thank you Nick! Your service to this cause is outstanding.

Delighted to let you know that after our 2022 Panorama into the Post Office Scandal got more than a million viewers after the ten o'clock news last night, the BBC have restored our 2015 Panorama investigation to the iPlayer - Trouble At The Post Office: bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06…

Important point when writing about Horizon scandal: There are 4,000+ victims - not 'hundreds': ** 983 overturned convictions ** 2,750 HSS (lost money, weren't prosecuted) ** c. 500 more in #MrBatesVsThePostOffice group (exc OC) ** 100+ more came forward post-ITV. Total = 4,333

Sunak says government will legislate to exonerate victims of Post Office Horizon scandal during #PMQs

We are looking to speak with more former SPMs affected by the #PostOfficeScandal for our research on how SPMs came to break their silence about their false accusations. Message me if you’re interested in participating. @chrish9070 @stugoo17 @VarchasPatel @CastletonLee @jan2812ski

@Ian_Fraser @davidjenright @ComputerWeekly Also, you've probably seen this, but also relevant is @RichardMoorhead and colleagues' work that finds that mental health implications are nearly the same for those SPMs who were falsely accused as for the group who were falsely convicted. bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.111…

@Ian_Fraser @davidjenright @ComputerWeekly Couldn't agree more, this is such an important part of this story. We find these themes of trauma running through the witness statements from the Public Inquiry, and this is from those who have come forward. theconversation.com/mr-bates-vs-th…

Issues of trauma, fear, shame, loss of trust in authority and the fact the compensation scheme is overseen by their tormentors are preventing many victims of the Post Office scandal from coming forward for compensation. @davidjenright @ComputerWeekly computerweekly.com/opinion/Trauma…

Breaking: Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells has handed back her CBE. Comes after Sunak called for her to be stripped of the honour and a petition reached 1.2 million signatures.

@carolinebilton @CastletonLee he's such an excellent spokesperson and so glad everyone is finally listening

I can’t go anywhere these days without seeing or hearing @CastletonLee! It’s been a privilege to be a very small part of your journey. And so great that your voice is being heard….finally! I know you hate doing these interviews. Keep going! You have the nation behind you.

@CastletonLee @nickwallis excellent programme - bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Yes I don’t have the link but @nickwallis will probably have a link.

Thank you @jhansonradio for having me on @TimesRadio to discuss the #PostOfficeScandal - from 41:35 It's really hard to understand how it took PO leadership over a decade to ask the basic question of #Horizon "Is it possible to access the system remotely?" thetimes.co.uk/radio/show/202…

From an organisational standpoint, I would add to this to give workers greater access to their own data. From what I understand sub-postmasters could not check their own accounts to the transaction level in the Horizon system, meaning they couldn't defend themselves.

@martinstanford @LBCNews Also, as I mention, my @BathSofM colleague @M_Heffernan's concept of Wilful Blindness could not be more apparent in this case. amazon.co.uk/Wilful-Blindne…

Thanks @martinstanford @LBCNews for having me on this morning to speak on the #PostOfficeScandal. Victims have faced a decades-long nightmare & deserve fair compensation now. And we need witnesses to engage honestly with the Public Inquiry to get to the truth.

@RevRichardColes We've asked this a lot in our research as well, as we study the barriers victims faced in speaking out. Many did not even want to tell their closest family members, let alone broadcast it. But I do think it would've enabled people who were looking to find one another more easily.
