Mr Bates vs the Post Office

[denislawsbackheel]

Hope they turn their attention to that even ghastlier specimen, Angela van den Bogerd. Visiting the widow of a sub-postmaster who had committed suicide and feigning sympathy is absolutely disgusting.

That was acting…
You know, made up.

There was a great line in the programme. An MP said to Vennels, "are you saying the IT system is working perfectly without any problems because if you are, it would be the first time in history that a Government funded system worked'.

they 100% nailed it with that, any government system i have ever worked on if it worked 50% of the time it was considered a success by the powers that be

Hmmm not sure. They'd agreed that everything, including visits to the widow would go through Alan Bates. He had no knowledge of the visit or the follow up to sign an NDA and get some money.

She was the one stopping information getting through to Vennells, had worked for the Post Office for 30 years in a number of positions. An absolutely horrible individual.

Have you watched ‘Mr Bates v The Post Office, The Real Story’ ? I watched it and could find nothing that was at odds with the script of the TV drama itself, in fact, they’ve literally used their exact words.

I find it difficult to believe they’d allow something of that nature to pass by without fact checking even with the caveat at the beginning of the programme where it mentions ‘some scenes imagined’ or words to that effect.
