The Post Office scandal proves once again that the Westminster, Whitehall and Big Business Establishment are all in it together as the enemies of ordinary people. The likes of Paula Vennels and 'Sir’ Ed Davey aren't fit to wipe the shoes of sub-postmasters.

The Post Office must be stripped of its power to bring private prosecutions. Its mafioso-style criminal investigations branch must be closed down and replaced by an independent body.
 
All Post Office apparatchiks involved in the persecution of innocent postmasters should themselves face justice - dismissal for gross misconduct and criminal prosecution if they lied, concealed evidence or were guilty of criminal negligence in pursuit of unlawful prosecutions.
 
Ministers responsible and asleep at the wheel at material times should apologise for their indolence and stupidity and be publicly humiliated. They should also make financial recompense for their negligence.
 
Most importantly, sub-postmasters ruined financially should receive full restitution of what they lost. £75,000 total compensation announced by Kevin Hollinrake is utterly derisory for ruined lives and businesses. 

It proves the Government still doesn't get it. Compensation should be a minimum of £250,000 for each victim in addition to their financial losses. £1,000,000 would not be excessive for the families of those who committed suicide. The Post Office has blood on its hands and should willingly pay 'blood money'.
 
Fujitsu should be vigorously pursued by the Government and Post Office  for exemplary damages for covering up the truth after the scandal was publicly revealed.
 
'Sir' Ed Davey should hand back his knighthood - there is nothing honourable about his part in this saga - and he should disgorge his £250,000 ill-gotten gains for 'advising' Herbert Smith Freehills, the Post Office's rottweiler solicitors who wrecked the lives of so many blameless people.
 
The whole Westminster Establishment should be booted out. The old parties are the problem - they are all in it together. We need new parties to replace the rotten hulks who will be competing for our votes in 2024. 

UKIP broke the EU mould in 2016. Let us do the same for Britain in 2024.
