PARA HANDY SPECIAL OPS: A nautical acquaintance from The Broch sent me a message. 'Spotted leaving Inveraray bound for the Strait of Hormuz, to commence mine sweeping duties for the Royal Navy 🇬🇧! 😂'

#PostOfficeScandal #ParmodKalia #StateSponsoredCrime The Quiet Dignity of Parmod Kalia (6th December 1958 –13th March, 2026) Parmod Kalia was a trained Banker. An Associate of the Institute of Bankers. Assistant Bank Manager. Treasurer of an International Charity. A man for whom every penny had to be accounted for. He chose the Orpington Post Office for the quiet life. Stable hours. Time with his wife and four children. The Horizon system repaid that modest ambition with a phantom shortfall of £22,202.01. Post Office Ltd told him he was "the only one." The National Federation of SubPostmasters — his supposed protector — told him to repay the money and fabricate a story. He borrowed £22,000 from his Mother's life savings. Post Office pocketed every penny. Then they prosecuted him anyway. 6 months in Prison. 14 years in hiding. 3 occasions where he nearly took his own life. A 17 year estrangement from his son Mahesh, who was just 17 when they took his father away. Children who grew up asking: "Dad, have you taken the money?" His own children. Asking if their father was a thief. Because the State told them he was. His conviction was finally quashed in May 2021. He should have spent his remaining years in peace, rebuilding what was stolen. Instead, the Post Office unleashed elite City law firms to fight tooth and claw over every penny piece of his Redress. They challenged causation. They delayed. They low-balled. They rejected his interim claim of £100,000 on "public interest grounds." Highly paid lawyers — billing more per hour than Parmod earned in a week — deployed forensic cruelty against a traumatised, terminally declining man whose only demand was that someone look him in the eye and say: 'we did this to you, and we are sorry'. He tragically died on March 13, 2026. Still fighting. Still waiting. Still uncompensated. Still dignified. The inhumane savages masquerading as lawyers who wage this war of attrition against Parmod, his family and hundreds like him will simply move on, adjust their cufflinks, sip their flat whites, and open the next file. Another victim. Another billable hour. This obscene tragedy simply cannot continue. The time is long overdue for the Prime Minister to intervene — to show some leadership, some backbone, and some basic human decency. These are not commercial disputes. These are traumatised victims of a State-sponsored crime. The lawyers instructed to handle their redress must be ordered — ordered — to show compassion, humanity, and urgency. Every day of delay is another day stolen. And as Parmod Kalia's demise has proved, the days run out. Rest now, Parmod. The truth outlived them all. The shame belongs to those who made you wait. @Keir_Starmer @darrenpjones @biztradegovuk @AGinsight @liambyrnemp @commonsBTC @RachelReevesMP @DavidDavisMP @kevinhollinrake @CastletonLee @Janetsk20073533 @SeemaMisra_OBE @edwardhenry1 @BBCEmmaSimpson @nickwallis @Karlfl @marksweney @hrw @Cyclefree2 @DanNeidle @SkyNewsAdele @BBCBreakfast @ElCShaikh @VarchasPatel @Pinsent_Masons @hmtreasury @HouseofCommons @premnsikka @TimBushLondon @UKHouseofLords @TjX50 @Malcolm22206844 @NFSP @postoffice @PostOfficeNews @NFSP_UK @voiceofthepm @NigelRailton

@SpiesVespers Has Trump died suddenly then?

🤣

A very happy 15th of March to one and all.

Just in case you've decided to go soft on them in their time of grief, let me remind you of England before the wheels came off:

Can we get this shared 10,000 times? "War crimes don't hide sex crimes!"

This gets funnier every singe week

It's funnier that they thought this was a patriotic march.

The devolution of man:

Happy 90th birthday tae Oor Wullie, who first appeared in the Sunday Post on this day in 1936. Scotland's favourite cartoon laddie will be pertying the nicht wi his missus Primrose and the boys Soapy, Eck and Boab 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥳

@williamnhutton Before 2026 @SixNationsRugby every team except France & England were in trouble; theirs the Grand Slam to lose. Ireland ‘in transition’, Scotland lost its way, Wales, a busted flush, Italy forever noble losers. It all looks a bit different now! What a competition! ☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇹

Well, got my Call up letter. 🤣🤣

After building my freshly purchased IKEA wardrobe in the car park there, I discovered it wouldn't fit in my car. I think the Assembly Point is a really stupid idea. 🤣🤣

@is_glasgow Another Scottish grocery retailer of note was Coopers. Store on Great Western Road was probably most iconic. Bought over by Fine Fare in the 50s to become Coopers Fine Fare stores.

Do you think La Marseillaise is beautiful? What about hearing La Marseillaise echoing from a nuclear submarine base? How does a national anthem change when it moves from a football stadium to a hardened military dock beneath concrete and steel? And what does it say about a country when its song of revolution is carried by submarines built for deterrence? Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

A proud moment being sworn in as King’s Counsel in my role as Solicitor General. It meant a great deal to be sworn in by the Deputy Prime Minister, @DavidLammy, with @RachelReevesMP by my side. As Solicitor General, my main priority is our ambition to halve VAWG in a decade.

lol the difference between coffee & tea drinkers. 😂😂

I don’t want my tax being spent on facilitating the return of these extremists from Dubai to the UK. They clearly despise our culture and way of life and they should seek refuge in the first safe country they arrive in. Am I doing this right?🤔
