It is time for Alan Bates to be honoured with a CBE or knighthood after former Post Office boss Paula Vennells handed back her CBE.

Alan Bates NEVER GAVE UP over a 20 year period fighting for justice for the postmasters in order to get a positive result. How many people have that level of focus, commitment and perseverance to do the right thing. Alan should be awarded with the highest awards available as recognition.

    He’s already refused an OBE.

    I was under the impression that he refused it because Vennells had one. As she’s now handed hers back in disgrace, presumably that objection is resolved.

      Maybe, but I still think he would refuse. He’s generally said that it isn’t about him.

      Also, it’s not like justice has been achieved yet - or even ever will be. Many people are still out thousands, indemnifying them will take more than a £75k payout from the government.
