I'm not going to go into the IN's & OUT's of what happened regarding this SCANDAL of EPIC PROPORTIONS...
It's been well documented and... THE POST OFFICE THE GOVERNMENT and especially FUJITSU should hang their heads in SHAME.
I think I'm stating the obvious when I say for a long time many folks had NO IDEA of just HOW BIG A SCANDAL this thing was...
Those that say...COVER UP's & CONSPIRACIES Do Not Exist with those in power...should watch this.
Of Course Conspiracy & Cover Up's exist & always have, there's a BIG ONE being addressed a little more now (somewhat) with Washington trying to get their heads around something many folks at the TOP have known about for a long, long time... But this one is for another time, but it's going to wake up our species once it hit's the fan...
But regarding this one here...
How PATHETIC are these people in charge WHO KNEW, does one believe in 'Karma' it would be apt if such a thing truly existed because those that said nothing & worse DID NOTHING to stop these poor people being trampled on will perhaps get what's coming?
Here's where I praise 'ITV' it is a channel I rarely watch because frankly it shows very little of interest to myself these days but this could be said of a number of mainstream British Tv Channels these days.
They have little imagination...and...churn out the same Reality Tv Shows (most of which are rubbish), Game Shows, Quiz's & Soap Opera's... Imaginative, Original & Exciting and /or INTERESTING Television Series (that are not featuring Detectives / Police, Nurses / Medical shows) are few.
How I miss the 70's & 80's ERA those folks were given free reign to dream up all sorts of different scenario TV SERIES...Why can't they return to these different types of shows being aired during prime time on the main channels...rather than the usual stuff which lasts for 10, 20 even 30 years!!!
One thing they can still do well, at times is REAL LIFE DRAMA Accounts & to be fair ITV do this rather well & this one "Mr Bates (no sniggering back there) vs The Post Office" is right up there as ONE OF THE BEST....
In time to come (if not already) it will be seen as a superbly made account of what went on & helped open more people's eyes as to getting even more JUSTICE for these poor people.
One cannot even imagine how they got through it.
"THEY ARE BRAVE SOULS"
EVERYONE, ITV, the writers, the directors, producers, writers & ESPECIALLY THE ACTORS HERE (many of whom should be rightly PROUD of their WORK here for they have provided a terrific collective was at work here & this will go down as a terrific HISTORICALLY piece of TELEVISION... Which I'm sure in the long run will have HELPED these people in some way achieve JUSTICE & that must make ALL OF THESE ACTORS VERY PROUD, perhaps even their finest moment...and WHAT A GREAT ONE.
THANK-YOU Folks.
It was BOLD of ITV to take this on... And BOY has it paid off.
This will WIN AWARDS & rightly so but more importantly it will hopefully re-address (even more) the EVIL done to these people.
WHAT SHOULD CLEARLY HAPPEN NOW ?
There is talk of a BLANKET 'ALL' NOT GUILTY (even if a tiny few might have fiddled the system) & Yes this SHOULD HAPPEN right now, quickly, even if ONE LAW HAS TO BE MADE to make it 'RIGHT'
COMPENSATION? Oh YEAH, just a LOT.
Some did deals very early on...those BS paper deals should be RIPPED UP straight away.
TALK of £600, 000 for each person to start with.... I don't care if the numbers grow to 1,000, 2,000 or more postmasters that have been done...
YOU PAY THESE FOLKS 1 MILLION POUNDS EACH (TAX FREE) as well as ALL COSTS & LOSSES on top.
Fujitsu SHOULD PAY...but if they cannot & will not & QUICKLY (20 years ago this!!!!) then folks in power need to get your fingers out, admit the problems & that it was mainly YOUR FAULT & get them ALL FREED, PAID & SORTED.
It won't get back those 20 years of MISERY but it will HELP....and if Fujitsu do not do this then the GOVERNMENT should go after them & should never use them EVER AGAIN...
As for the POST OFFICE... Well, geez, we Brits know just how this MIGHTY Organisation has FALLEN... Prices for EVERYTHING regarding them continues to head UPWARDS whilst the service sadly heads DOWN.
The Post Office needs to be as it once was... A HAPPY HUB of a place, which is friendly & provides fair prices, not inflated one's done just to line the pockets of those few at the top we saw in this DRAMA & REAL LIFE...Yeah return your honour but KEEP the BONUSES!!! ??? WHAT?
Any HONEST individual would never keep such a thing but alas these folks are CLEARLY not honest.
THEY'RE TIME WILL COME.
