New ITV four-part drama, Mr Bates vs the Post Office, has exposed one of the most nefarious miscarriages of justice in British history, and even Rishi Sunak concurs. I knew little of the scandal that occurred two decades ago. It affected more than 750 postmasters accused of theft when their Post Office issued Horizon accounting software failed. They were vilified, humiliated, and condemned with many sent to prison, their lives shattered, for doing absolutely nothing wrong.

Why is the post office scandal of interest to (English speaking) folk in Mallorca? The MDB needs to stop being a Brits Abroad rag, as it was probably originally envisioned, and cater for ALL international English speakers alike. Domestic UK news can be gleaned from domestic UK rags and the BBC. It’s all rehashed news anyway, so why bother?
