Good morning. Off the the High Court Rolls Building to see Alan Bates, sacked by the Post Office in 2003, and who subsequently formed the Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance. He's been waiting 15 years for his day in court. Today he's got it. #postofficetrial

Court 26 of the Rolls Building awaiting the start of the #postofficetrial with journalists from the FT, @ComputerWeekly @dailymail and the @CWUPostmaster. At least 8 claimants/former Subpostmasters present, including a widow of a SPMR who has brought her husband’s ashes.
#postofficetrial Ladies and Gentlemen, the trial of the century so far starts today. A Government owned entity and High St Institution stands accused of mistreating its subpostmasters. computerweekly.com/ezine/Com… postofficetrial.com/ Follow @nickwallis for live updates
Everybody should follow this trial #postofficetrial senior government figures should not have allowed this to happen. Heads will roll and ignorance can be no excuse.
Day 1 of Bates v @PostOffice at the High Court today. Follow tweets here, via the #postofficetrial hashtag and via regular reports on the blog PostOfficeTrial.com. Also expecting @ComputerWeekly's @Karlfl to be there today among other hacks

Public consultation on post office changes is important. In fact 90% of british adults think so... ow.ly/xWVC30fNQC0
