I’m so disgusted and enraged that my friend is having to go through this.

@Red_Eagle_Buses I did not think that the S1 bus ‘service’ could get any worse. How wrong I was. Absolutely disgraceful. I will be contacting the Herts Ad about this.

@Red_Eagle_Buses The passengers had to disembark and get a taxi. I will be emailing you with the scanned receipts of the bus fare and taxi fare paid and will be expecting a full refund from you.

@Red_Eagle_Buses Call yourself a bus service? Your new driver picked up two passengers from St Albans City Station today (the last S1 service of the day) and promptly drove towards the town. When told he should be going to Cell Barnes he responded he was going back to town

@TLRailUK We need to know if we can either get a train to Hatfield + a rail replacement bus to the northern stations or an update on when the trains are going to start running again. You’re acting as if this has never happened before!

#PostOfficeScandal #Fujitsu ⚖️The day it's announced that LEE CASTLETON OBE is to bravely sue @PostOffice and @fujitsu_uk is a timely moment remind everybody of WHY⚖️ Below is a section of Lee's heart rending Human Impact Statement. I implore you to take time to read this insight on the reality of the tragedy visited on Lee and his beautiful Family by some truly evil, crooked and wicked people. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY 🙏 "Post Office started to write serious debt recovery letters after my appeal failed. I had an insurance policy which I accessed for legal cover. Post Office put me in Scarborough County Court. They didn't turn up and probably didn't expect me to counterclaim. I was all but broke. The Court, in the Post Office's absence, awarded me my counterclaim. Post Office appealed and moved it to Leeds High Court and then to London. All the time the financial stress was breaking all that I loved around me. I felt such a fool to have put them in such danger because I had done nothing wrong. By now Lisa had started to have terrible sleep terrors. Millie my daughter had become quiet and withdrawn. Cameron my son would try to protect his mummy even though he was only eight. The kids had to move schools, and this had caused lots of problems. Millie withdrew even more, and she was having problems on the bus to school and Cameron was getting into trouble for bad behaviour. At the time we didn't know, but Millie was being bullied. She had been spat at on the school bus in her hair (Millie has long curly hair). She had been assaulted in the school toilets. Cameron had been pushed from his bike by another boy and caused a terrible scrape to his head. Lisa's anxiety was increasing by the day. I just wanted to curl up and die. If I was braver, I would probably have taken my own life. Thankfully I know now I will never be that brave. I never realised how it could be so personal and engulfing before then - it consumed every aspect of my and my family's life. BUT I HAD TO FIGHT THEM In April 2005 I had been to the Bank to pay-in takings from the shop. When I arrived home Lisa was crying and Barry and Dorothy Day, the temporary SPMs were very upset. Angela Bettison from the Post Office had arrived after I had left that morning. She had demanded "all the office paperwork". They had argued and argued even calling our then solicitor. He explained to her that she could have a copy of anything but not the original. The argument got more and more heated. Angela told them she was taking everything from the office. The instruction from the solicitor was to call the police.After more arguments Angela called her office and left. This was the first day on which Lisa had a full seizure. The stress was extreme. We finally had disclosure. Finally. I took each weekly account of transaction data and there were small discrepancies. I decided to have the first week reconstructed at the massive cost of £10,000. Again, there were discrepancies but not significant. I couldn't understand it. Well not until Ron Warmington explained what had been disclosed was not the Metadata that I needed but just a spreadsheet listing transactions forming the account. Sadly, I only found this out as part of the Mediation Scheme in 2013. I used the reconstructed accounts to cross reference sales times and dates. I found thousands of pounds of transactions that were placed at times and dates when that person wasn't even logged on to the system, but the Post Office kept saying no one else had access to my account. I now know this was not true. I was now having problems with my blood pressure. I felt like I could burst. I had started to black-out. The blood pressure on my vagus nerve was stopping my body and causing me to black-out. I had no money, but it was time to go to Court. By this time, I had spent about £80,000 on legal costs. I had re-mortgaged our home to raise £45,000 to pay legal costs. But it wasn't enough to pay my solicitors for my trial. I had no legal representation; the legal expenses insurance had run out (they paid out about £50,000 including VAT). I was going no matter what. I arrived with my father in-law, Alan, to court on the Monday. I was determined but nervous. The Judge decided to start that Wednesday. Mr Richard Morgan, the Barrister for the Post Office, told me that if I met him outside his chambers, he would give me my court bundle. When we arrived, he pulled me aside and told me not to go on Wednesday. "You don't need to go. Let us finish this and make all go away then you can just get on with your lives". I told him I had done nothing wrong, and I wanted answers. I couldn't just get on with my life. Later that evening, Alan and I were in the lobby of our hotel checking-in. Alan's mobile phone rang. Alan put it on speaker so Stephen Dilley, the Post Office's solicitor could talk to me: "Lee you must understand you don't need to go on Wednesday we were surprised to see you today." The conversation went on as I explained I had to follow everything through as I had taken no money. "But Lee, we are the Post Office, we will ruin you." I repeated that I would be there. "Lee just listen, we will ruin you. Think of your family." Obviously, we lost the case. During the case Mr Morgan said that I was "a thief". The Judge told Mr Morgan that it was the wrong court to say that. When I arrived home Millie told me about the terrible seizures Lisa had had over the week. We decided if it continued to seek medical help. Judge Havery ordered that I pay £50,000 into the court in order to appeal. The Post Office in 2007 was awarded £321,000 costs. That resulted in my Bankruptcy. I still have a trustee in Bankruptcy. I had to declare b Bankruptcy due to the costs. I know as a fact that for example in 2008 the Post Office relied upon the Civil Judgment against me in telling others that the law was that the burden was upon a Postmaster to show why their Horizon accounts were wrong. I now understand that this is incorrect. The shop was really struggling, and I started to look for work. I would go for interviews for financial services roles, and I would be told but for the bankruptcy I would be perfect for the role. Rejection after rejection and the shop struggling, I had to find work so I renewed my electrical qualifications from the RAF. This meant that to find well paid work I had to work away from home on short-term contracts. I worked on building contracts all around the country. Often, I would live in my car for weeks on end to try to keep costs down. Millie would sleep with her mum to keep her safe. I wouldn't see my family for what seemed extended periods. Lisa was trying to hold the fort. Millie was becoming more and more withdrawn. Our boiler broke in 2008. Money was so tight it took two years to save to get a new one fitted. I hadn't realised in all the difficulties Lisa had been selling off her jewellery to make ends meet. Everything had gone. Millie was such a worry. She was very quiet, and she had lost a lot of weight. Lisa decided she wanted the doctor to look into what was going on. I never realised the impact everything was having. Life was very strained. Eventually Millie was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa. It had really taken hold. Our daughter was disappearing right in front of our eyes. No matter what we said or did, we couldn't shake her. I have felt powerless but never had I felt this low. Our lives are centred on our children. Millie's BMI dropped and dropped. She would pass-out regularly, then be admitted to hospital, then be released. We went round and round in this cycle. Millie was starving to death and there was nothing I or we could do about it. I have begged, argued, shouted, cried and even hit myself in front of Millie to try to change her actions, trying to show her the pain and suffering her actions were having on her and the family. Explaining and begging to her that I couldn't live without my daughter surviving this terrible illness. I cannot explain the relief when Millie was given no option but to accept a place at Evolve, a clinic in Hull. Millie had been living in halls at University and coming home at weekends. Evolve gave her the clarity to finally break the circle and take control. Millie eventually told us that whilst at school she had been relentlessly bullied by a group of girls, including being assaulted. I have no words for the utter despair that I have in the abject failure of protecting her. I had failed her. We had been £30,000 in arrears with our mortgage. We closed the shop and Lisa had been diagnosed with epilepsy. Lisa began to work for her parents. They would look after her while she was working. Thankfully medication has stopped Lisa's seizures. In 2021 we sold Marine Drive and cleared the mortgage. Having owned our home prior to this, we now live in a rented house in a different town. I was a claimant in the Group Civil Litigation that came to an end in 2019. I was awarded £28,500 Compensation. It was not until June 2020 that I was for the first time provided with a copy of the Settlement Deed with the Post Office. This was because Freeths started to tell me about the terms of my case that were in the settlement. I had not seen the settlement agreement at the end of May 2020. Although I had asked to see it, I was told by James Hartley of Freeths that I was not able to see the terms of settlement because these were confidential. Eventually, after I was able to get some voluntary legal assistance from Paul Marshall, I was provided with a copy of the Settlement Deed. Shortly after this the Post Office put the Settlement on its website. Because it appeared from Mr Justice Fraser's judgment that the Post Office had given incomplete evidence that he considered may have been misleading, I thought I might possibly have a claim for malicious prosecution. I knew that postmasters who had had criminal convictions had claims for malicious prosecution. I was told initially by Freeths that I did not have a claim for malicious prosecution because mine was a civil claim. Later I was told that my claim for malicious prosecution had to be given up under the terms of the settlement. I was very disappointed to hear this. I believe that the Post Office and Fujitsu- it was Anne Chambers who gave misleading evidence - knew at the time of my trial in 2006 that there were problems with Horizon. The Post Office's evidence at my trial in 2006 was that I was the only one who had access to my Horizon account. That was untrue. My life has been ruined, my family's life was almost destroyed, my wife has suffered devastating and life-changing illness and my daughter almost died. Mr Dilley was correct when he said that the Post Office would ruin me. IT HAS. I have received £28,500 Compensation. I cannot see after all that I and my family have suffered how this can be right. There is still a Civil Judgment against me, and I still have a Trustee in Bankruptcy." @CastletonLee @lisa_castleton @chiarasimon @BBCEmmaSimpson @Janetsk20073533 @TracyF882 @SeemaMisra7 @WBD_UK @premnsikka @HouseofCommons @gareththomasMP @darrenpjones @ElCShaikh @UKHouseofLords @TheHouseMag @JIMDIAMONDLAW @DanNeidle @FloraClairePage @edwardhenry1

@TLRailUK Hi Will, thanks for replying. In that case, who’s responsible for the train tracking? There is no point in having apps and departure boards if the information is incorrect.

@TLRailUK If you’re going to run an app can it at least be accurate. Sick of the app and departure boards saying a train’s departed when it’s yet to arrive! This particular train actually departed St Albans at 08:42 and arrived at Radlett at 08;47.

German MEP, Christine Anderson, puts the unelected globalist tyrants at the WHO on notice: "This will end if we simply say no. And that's what we're here to do today, because an unelected body like the WHO, [which] is controlled and run by multibillionaires, should never be allowed to act in place of a democratically elected government." "We are millions, millions around the world. It is you that is the small fringe minority… We will bring you down, and we will not tire until we have done just that. So brace yourselves. We are here, and the fight is on." Source: youtube.com/watch?v=sJJzGe… Subscribe to us on Telegram: t.me/realwideawakem… For more content like this, visit: wide-awake-media.com

@mintvelvet How can anyone shop on your website when chosen items won’t stay in the basket?! 😤🤪

@newlookHelp @newlook OK, Megan has now responded and the rest of the return is on its way. This is great but I shouldn’t need to be chasing for it.

@newlook can you please tell me why I’ve only received a partial refund when I clearly returned my full order?!

@newlookHelp @newlook I have to be verified to send a DM 🙄 I already sent a WhatsApp message and received pointless bot info. Your chat doesn’t appear to be working either.

It's his last moments alive💔 RT if you know he didn't deserve to suffer and die in agony. #BanBullfighting

@waitrose Hi, why do you always send out several vouchers with the same Ref No and the same date?! Surely it would make more sense to either send one voucher or several with different Ref Nos and dates. Also a lower spend margin would make a voucher more usable.

@santanderukhelp I’ve sent a direct message regarding transferring credit on my card back to me. I’d like a response since I couldn’t get through on the phone.

@SurePetcare I’m still experiencing delayed notifications for entry and exit
