Like so many I’ve been infuriated by the injustice meted out to sub-postmasters and postmistresses over many years.
I was aware of it all, and annoyed by its unfairness, some years ago thanks to the press coverage; but, again like so many, what really made me angry – and made me cry even – was the dramatisation of how the Horizon scandal hurt good, ordinary people.
This isn’t a criticism of the media’s efforts to bring it to our attention in the past. Although some commentators predictably, and lazily, say news outlets should have done more and said more in years past, the reality is that the story did get massive coverage.
