1. The MSM really dropped the ball by not reporting on this properly as the story developed. It shouldn’t require a TV drama to inform the public that a scandal even exists.

2. This country infuriates me.

   When the Post Office scandal hit the news years ago nobody cared.

   But, you make a TV show, and all of a sudden Average Barry and the government are suddenly outraged.

3. Anyone with the slightest interest in this should by the Private Eye this week.

   They have been covering this in depth since it started.

   Can’t wait for the next issue now it’s getting public traction

4. She should face a full criminal trial, alongside any other executive at the Post Office and Fujitsu who was involved in the cover-up. Stripping her of her CBE is not enough when people lost their livelihoods, their relationships, their homes, their freedom and even their lives over the biggest miscarriage of justice in recent history.

5. I’m pleased the campaign has finally got the traction it deserves. It always puzzled me how this was not a bigger scandal.

   If it takes a TV show to raise awareness, so be it, but it really should have caused public outrage years ago

6. Haven’t seen the programme it’s not my cup of tea and I feel so much for the people involved but there is always a new outrage/popular thing around the corner for Brits to froth over – people have to do Something as January hits.

7. why haven’t we seen her been interviewed yet? where is she hiding? she is the face of bully corporate management who fail upwards and are rewarded handsomely. utterly inept and unfit for office.

8. It’s a shame Paula wasn’t an immigrant or brown or trans. There would be fury then I suspect!
