Former sub-postmaster Harjinder Butoy, wrongfully convicted of stealing £208,000 from the Post Office in 2007, has been offered £600,000 in compensation. This case is part of a broader Post Office scandal that has impacted numerous families, leading to calls for compensation not just for the victims but also for their children. These children, including those led by Katie Downey, argue their childhoods were adversely affected, with some families having to relocate, such as Downey's move to France. Public figures and media personalities have voiced mixed opinions on the matter, with some supporting the call for substantial compensation for the postmasters and their families, while others, like Kelvin Mackenzie, express reservations about extending financial settlements to the children of the victims.
