“I
want there to be convictions, not only for the people who have
perpetuated the whole conspiracy inside the Post Office, everyone from
the top down who knew and was still pushing charges,” he said.
“I
want charges against people not only in my court case who came to give
evidence and lied under oath, I want each of them to receive a perjury
charge.”
Lorraine Margery Williams, a former
Post Office operator from Anglesey, also called for prosecutions of
former Post Office managers.
“I want them to
go to jail for what they have done. But that would be an easy life for
them. They’d come out and still have their money,” she said.
“I
want them to feel the way I felt and the way we suffered financially. I
just want somebody to be accountable. It has gone on for so long and
people are hiding. Somebody has got to be accountable for this.”
Williams,
who received a suspended prison sentence in 2012 before her conviction
was quashed in 2021, said she had struggled to find work after her
conviction, which also caused her family’s mortgage repayments to
quadruple.
Williams said the experience had profoundly affected her, her husband and her daughter.
“I
was a recluse, I wouldn’t go out. I still don’t feel I am the same
person. I get angry at times,” she said. “I don’t trust anybody any more
and it’s difficult.”
The Parthian cataphract was a heavy cavalry unit of Parthian warfare, an entirely armored, huge fast horse mounted by a completely armored rider, equipped with a long lance and a long sword. Like a modern tank designed to smash through enemy defenses, the integrated tactical use of the cataphract was something the Parthians brought to a new level in battle.
