In the first week of 2024, ITV showed Mr Bates vs The Post Office, a drama exploring the nightmare of malfunctioning technology known as the Horizon accounting software and its ruinous effect on the lives of so many. The indifference and disingenuity of Post Office managers was infuriating, and no viewer with a shred of compassion and a sense of justice would deny that something must be done. I myself recall acting for a Glasgow postmaster who was embroiled in this very fiasco back in the day.
