It’s hard to believe what those 700+ people went through & that some even took their lives 😞 I sincerely hope all those responsible for the false accusations are bought to justice. I watched the end of today’s BBC inquiry coverage of the interview with Stephen Bradshaw and investigator for the post office & was horrified. Makes interesting viewing. Watch the true documentary as well on itvx where they talk to the real Mr Bates & others
