A tsunami of media coverage of ‘The Post Office Scandal’ has flooded across the UK, and now the world, since the ITV drama.

Both publications have frequently revisited the story, and have certainly been keeping the heat under it for over a decade. The attached Private Eye article, penned by Richard Brooks and Nick Wallis, is a great example. Published back in May of 2020, it was pivotally important… and is well worth re-reading.
