#Postmasters
Words I feel should be pluralized like "postmasters general" and "courts martial:" (1) Beeves Wellington (2) Chickens McNugget (3) Kermits the Frog

I'm months away from discovering a fundamental law about the appointment of postmasters general under the Pendleton act. I've told the Nobel people to be ready

The UK taxpayers are currently paying compensation to postmasters while Fujitsu has paid nothing.
We’ll never see the money funnelled to Tory associates for dodgy PPE contracts.
I like your idea. I don’t see why taxpayers should be liable for others appalling behaviour.

There are so many of these stories. We are a family of principals, teachers, engineers, postmasters and one brainiac nuclear scientist

And what is going to be done about these postal slow downs that are deliberately influencing our elections? Who are the Postmasters in those districts? Will they be held accountable for election tampering?

The most compelling argument against is we can’t afford it.
We’re already paying for the postmasters compensation (not Fujitsu), infected blood victims (not American pharma).
Younger workers already ripped off paying student loans, pensions they won’t see and their landlord’s mortgages.

Agreed, he destroyed and walked away but now our local postmasters think its ok to break laws of the State they reside in and I think they need to be held accountable on the State level so no fed interference.

Do not trust USPS this election. The past 2 postmasters have deliberately sabotaged the service to delay mail-in ballots. If you usually mail yours in, find the nearest legit ballot box and drop yours off instead. Don't risk the mail until this regime is kicked to the curb & in prison.
Reminder: The U.S. Postal Service has reduced mail pickup at some local facilities, which could affect when your ballot is postmarked.

Love the postman.
Hate the postmasters general )for weaponizing our USPS).

My ballot is a month overdue to me in Europe. Never took more than 10 days.

A week ago requested a replacement I could print here.

Sent 1st Class registered 10/23 it arrived st clerk in Michigan today.

It's still not guaranteed to get there. Priority mail there's no "guarantee" at all, and Express - If the post office is shorthanded that day and can't deliver then they'll delay it and just refund you your postage. Not worth the risk!

- former USPS mailhandler and my mom and sister are postmasters

Hurrah hurrah and about time. The criminalisation of carers has been almost as appalling a scandal as the criminalisation of sub-postmasters but without the same level of publicity

It seems that the institution of The Treasury has a lot to answer for. Who gave financial authority for Post office to take legal action against Postmasters? (Refer to Nick Wallis). Who tried to prevent control of incoming Russian money? Refer to Ben Wallace. Too much unaccountable power

They need to pay a call on the clerk's office.,get the ballot, fill it out and return it all in one trip.

And charge the postmasters (local and general) With election interference.

In her latest editorial for #LegalAction, LAG’s CEO @suejames.bsky.social reflects on meeting Lee Castleton, one of the former sub-postmasters affected by the Post Office Horizon scandal, and the lessons his experience holds for the legal profession.

My greatest fear is some MAGA postmasters or employees will act on their own, and hide, delay, destroy ballots, to serve their King Trump.

Oct. 25, 1926: The Supreme Court upholds the right of the president to fire appointees without Senate input in a landmark ruling. The 6-3 decision invalidates an 1876 congressional act that specified postmasters can be removed only with the advice and consent of the Senate.

His main example is the UK Post Office, which installed a Fujitsu point-of-sale system that generated false cash shortfalls. Over 15 years, close to a thousand sub-postmasters were convicted of theft, and at least four died by suicide. 2/6

Postmasters who were wrongly prosecuted in the Horizon IT scandal have been given until next summer to apply for compensation as an investigation has been announced into other software used before the faulty system was installed

Here's the detail I'd push further: the sub-postmasters reported the shortfalls themselves. The people who caught the error were the people who got prosecuted for it. At least they got a court hearing, where the evidence about the system could have been tested. The court didn't test it. 5/6

Hairy McScary, scourge of Postmasters & little cats. Beware the smell of Kattomeat & a set of hairy knuckles through the letterbox.
October 23, 2026 at 3:52 PM
matter, not some long established practice. Many postmasters were told they had to pay what was "owed". In fact for a long period of time their contracts did not support this. Hopefully they will be offered the chance to explain this in a court of Law.
