What an insult to two of the sub-postmasters who were instrumental in getting the Horizon software scandal into the public eye – and, indeed, the courts – to have the matter discussed by Tory numbskull Jonathan Gullis.

Here’s the situation:

Evidence was heard from Alan Bates (the Mr Bates of Mr Bates vs The Post Office) and Jo Hamilton, who was also depicted in the drama.

He did what?

He joked about watching Paw Patrol?

For context, Mr Bates had just said people were dying while waiting for compensation. It was amid such contributions that Gullis slipped his extremely ill-considered contribution.

The social media were quick to provide the kind of well-deserved responses that, no doubt, Mr Bates and Ms Hamilton were too polite to make at the hearing:

It says everything about the state of the UK today that upstanding people like Mr Bates and Ms Hamilton can be wrongly accused – and in some cases convicted – of crimes, and then have to listen to the childishness of people like this.

The sooner time-wasting ignoramuses like Gullis are removed from Parliament, the better.
