I can tell from the numbers of the previous megathreads that I'm about at my limit for reach on here. Pretty much everyone who follows me will have seen this and many helped. But I need all of you to help. It's OK to be skint, but a share is free - gofundme.com/f/76armr-alfred…

Having finally now watched the ITV drama on the Post Office scandal I had three strong impressions. 1. Private Eye is one of the biggest selling periodicals in the UK, where this story was running for years. Goes to show how little that means compared to TV. 2. It's an arbitrary figure I just made up but there must be a hundred scandals of this magnitude in the UK alone, as the behaviour of the P.O and Fujitsu is absolutely standard corporate operating procedure. 3. Our dramas speak English and star British actors, but they are entirely American in construction and execution now. Basic scripts, maximum tearjerk, everyone lives in a twee village or in the midst of a striking panorama. It's never been more brazen.
