Panarama - Post Office scandal

15 years and nothing. A TV series and parliamentary changes in weeks.

I'm not sure this Panarama programme will help them. It started pointing the finger at the government, suggesting their awareness and involvement in the cover up.
 
What is interesting to me is how much cover up there was by those in the Post Office and their owners, i.e the Governments from 1999 to very recently. Those in power never seemed to consider the lives of ordinary people, with the exception of odd MPs who by chance happened to have a constituent unfairly prosecuted. In fact at some points in this sorry saga, everything was done to crush and destroy "little" people. Justice was not even considered and possibly never entered the head of key people at senior levels in the Post Office or UK Governments. 900 plus subpostmasters just became collateral damage, sent over the top with no chance of survival.

I also see this in other aspects of UK society, for example it is why hundreds of people with a disability(s) decide to end their lives every week, because of the poor support and treatment they receive from Governmental bodies.

Its another reason why I dislike centralised power, in too often becomes misplaced power, with those in power primarily concerned with their own self interests.
 
Ian Hislop absolutely savaged Jake Berry on Peston last night. Berry was banging on about honours and how they should be rescinded.Hislop just laughed at him knowing Boris had just bestowed a Knighthood on the tawt

It is so bad that there is something strange about it in my opinion.
