Mr Bates vs. The Post Office
Plot
One of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history where hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly accused of theft, fraud and false accounting due to a defective IT system.
When Watched
My Thoughts
It is scandalous that to date nobody has been found guilty of this crime. Were the management completely incompetent or evil. If the CEO did know the truth it is even worse that she was/is an ordained priest. Either way it is hard to understand why their has not been a claim filed against Fujitsu. I can only hope that one day the sub-postmasters will receive fair compensation. Of course for those who are no longer alive there is nothing to be done, but you would think their next of kin would be eligible for compensation.
It is crazy that all these years later the police are finally going to be properly reviewing the evidence and seeing if there are management who are guilty. I remember when this first hit the national news but I had no idea the sheer extend of people's livelihoods that were called into question.
Well done to the cast and crew, it was a well made docu-drama.
