#autistic &/or #ADHD folk have up to 50% more synapses than NT* brains-the reason for way more sensory input & sensory overload for us but those synapses are also responsible for emotions.
If someone's unkind it can be unbearably painful.
Knowing this helps me,I hope it does you.

This all happened 10 years ago what were those Judges and regulators doing back then?
The Post Office Inquiry is showing the world what the UK legal system will let lawyers get away with until there is an ITV documentary.

Given what has gone on with the Post Office lawyers and the Judges that apparently didn't see what was going on when multiple cases came before them, I think people are losing patience. There are legal people in the UK that consume vast sums of public money covering up..
Now 2 months since the Employment Appeal Tribunal Registrar (I assume a civil servant) took it upon themselves to declare that Dame Judge Eady, the judicial President of the EAT should not even read my letter let alone respond to it

Has Johnny Mercerās wife had the biggest pay rise in the public sector?
Sheās taxpayer funded Ā£45,000 to work in his office
Since 2016 he's TRIPLED her salary band from Ā£15,000 to Ā£45,000
@JohnnyMercerUK desperate for a continuation of him & his wife Ā£160,000 income plus expenses....while he criticises foodbank use
Note: The practice of employing 'connected parties' was stopped in 2017 after MP expenses scandal, unless that person was already employed. Ridiculous #FridayFeeling

In response to my letter, civil servants confirmed they had told Tory ministers they were not allowed to say their dodgy attacks on Labour were independently done by civil servants.
Last night Rishi Sunak did it anyway.
He lied to the British people.
He must apologise.

#PostOfficeScandal Tonight on @itvnews presented by @CharleneWhite & @DanielHewittITV we hear from @Conservatives MP @nadhimzahawi who says there should be a āCorporate Manslaughterā investigation against @PostOffice and investigations into individuals at the company.
He said that it appears Paula Vennells lied to the Select Committee in 2015. This is the ex CEO who said āThe Buck stops with meā. View the 2015 hearing here š parliamentlive.tv/event/indeā¦
Investigators @RonRwarming & @forensicgod pleaded for access to emails to uncover what was going on in the basement at @fujitsu_uk Bracknell building. They were accused of being on a fishing expedition by lawyer Andy Parsons & Program Director Belinda Cortes-Martin. After trying to explain the distress Postmasters had been through Belinda asked Ron to ākeep the language not emotionalā. Try telling that to those Postmasters who had been sent to prisonā¼ļø These people have no understanding or remorse for what they have put so many people through including their families.
Current chair of @CommonsBTC @liambyrnemp said āThese are appalling new revelations and what we are seeing almost in real time is a conspiracy to pervert the course of justiceā.
Harjinder Butoy featured in tonights program and was visibly upset listening to these latest recordings. How can he not be, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison, all whilst Post Office knew what was going on. They made him wait until 2021 to clear his name because they decided to go down the route of a cover-up rather than come clean.
As we have seen from the latest FOIA requests the culture at the organisation hasnāt changed, they are still attempting to cover up their failings. Have a read of my thread just a week ago š teapawt.net/chrish9070/statuā¦

#PostOfficeScandal Just over a week ago I wrote a thread on a FOIA from the @PostOffice here šteapawt.net/chrish9070/status/1771ā¦
As @DanNeidle shows in his own thread regarding those #FOIA requests the Post Office was incompetent & it still is incompetent today. It is not sorry about its past actions, because they are continuing right now under the current leadership of Nick Read. It is a corporate shambles. They are more concerned about covering-up their past mistakes, minimising further damage to their reputation (what reputation), minimising compensation payments to Postmasters and focusing on their PR.
In all the documents provided to me there was not one bit of contrition for what they have done. They were forced to design this compensation scheme on the back of the GLO litigation settlement in 2019. Yet they caused a tax issue to over 2,000 Postmasters, not realising when you pay a lump sum for loss of earnings it might just get taxed at the higher rate, when those Postmasters would have earned it annually. So not only did the Post Office wrongfully extract millions from innocent SPMRās, they then through incompetence allowed them to lose millions in tax from a poorly designed scheme.
Instead of saying sorry we have made ANOTHER terrible mistake and we urgently want to put it right, they were trying to minimise the damage in the media, liasing with @biztradegovuk and Ministers, then saying they had to distance themselves! Remember though it is only an āArms Length Bodyā. They called Dan āunhelpfulā and focusing on the ānegativesā, and he wasnāt pointing out the fact the Post Office were paying all this tax back to Postmasters.
Wait a minute, this is tax that should never have been deducted in the first place, yet the Post Office cannot understand why they arenāt being praised. What do they expect praise forā¦ā¦..Giving back yet more money to Postmasters that belonged to themāļøš¤Ø
This organisation is a disgrace, it simply has not changed one bit and that is clear as day in the FOIA documents. Have a read of them all and ask yourself why the @PostOffice and @biztradegovuk can be trusted to deliver compensation to those affected Postmasters?

#PostOfficeScandal One of the most sad & outrageous cases in the @PostOffice ran HSS scheme. I was aware of it and to be harassing a widow straight after his suicide is digusting and inhumane. The figures from the ATM are printed out and entered via Horizon. It is horizon that shows up the discrepancy. Therefore it is part of Horizon, and we know all the other abuse of processes by Post Office staff. There are other cases with a combination of discrepancies including ATMās and PO have reimbursed those and paid compensation, they have got this so wrong.
What did they do for 3 years, to then say no sorry we arenāt paying anything. If this case doesnāt show why every single claim in the HSS needs re-opened and assessed by an independent body then nothing will. Iāve called for a long time including to Nick Read in 2023 that the day will come where every claim is revisited, they should have done it voluntarily. I can only assume someone is pulling the strings on the PO.
