Mr Bates vs the Post Office

Didn't Pol go after post masters who signed contracts that they did not understand. Didn't Pol go after fictional debts as post masters had signed accounting records that they knew to be incorrect. Didn't Pol go after post masters who altered accounting records through fear and signed them.
It was tough shit when you were putting the fear of god in them during interviews, so guess what you scouse twat. What goes around.

watched this all this afternoon - as an investigator of a different industry when I was working I was amazed that Bradshaw had not better prepared himself and then how long it took him to realise how deep the hole he was in but still kept digging

I agree. What these fuckers go through on the stand pales in significance to the harrowing tales of personal devastation and humiliation that's come to light.
The potential travesty of this case has been in the public domain for some time... although nothing, other than a TV drama, will ever portray it's emotional context so devastatingly.

If I had been investigated by a Scouser, I would have insisted on a translator being present.

I've not watched the ITV drama/doc at all. There an hour long documentary on BBC iplayer which gives the story and interviews the people involved. There's also a Panorama investigation from quite a few years ago that's on YouTube that's worth a watch. This has been grinding on for a few years, but fair play to ITV - their series has put a bomb under it and brought the scandal to the (now outraged) Great British public.

There is 3 Panaroma specials (2015,2020 and 2022) I think their all available.
The journalist Nick Wallace is behind them all, he has a website and a book that is well worth a look.
