LEAD campaigner and former subpostmaster Alan Bates has told the Horizon IT inquiry he believed the Post Office was "definitely trying to outspend us" as part of its "aggressive" tactics at the High Court.
Giving evidence in front of Post Office chief executive Nick Read, he Bates said the organisation "needs disbanding" and called it a "dead duck" that is "beyond saving".
And in his witness statement Mr Bates said the Post Office had been "attempting to discredit and silence me" over the course of his 23-year campaign for justice.
And he also took aim at the Government's "fundamental flaw" of being unable to deal with issues such as the Horizon scandal "easily and sensibly".
