Comedian Rosie Holt has earned praise after she managed to trick social media users with a video in which she posed as a Conservative MP blaming the Post Office Horizon Scandal on ITV.
The 1999 scandal, which saw 800 to 900 branch managers accused and convicted of theft, fraud, and false accounting after the Post Office’s IT system incorrectly reported cash shortfalls in branches across the country, has come under renewed public interest following the release of ITV drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office.
