I am grateful for Rebecca Nicholson’s excellent critique of the TV miniseries Mr Bates vs the Post Office (Mr Bates vs the Post Office review – Toby Jones is perfect in a devastating tale of a national scandal, 1 January), which I watched in one sitting. I thought I knew the story, but realised I didn’t know the half of it.
With increasing incredulity and rage, I viewed as it revealed what lengths some senior executives and boards will go to protect their companies even when they know the lives of so many good and honest people are being ruined or terminated. How can it have taken the law and government 20 years to right this wrong?
