Former Union Head Defends Actions in Post Office Scandal Inquiry

George Thomson denies allegations of being too close to the Post Office and lacking sympathy for wrongfully convicted sub-postmasters.

Thomson claims he was 'too trusting' of the faulty Horizon IT system but not 'too close' to the Post Office.
He asserts the National Federation of SubPostmasters had to secure a deal to sustain the organization amidst membership losses.
Thomson argues that funds received from the Post Office were not tied to the Horizon system.
He maintains that the NFSP always sought to help its members, despite needing Post Office permission for actions.
The inquiry continues to investigate the largest miscarriage of justice in British legal history.
