I believe it is because it is bigger than the Post Office. It has exposed realities in our public institutions and legal system that are usually kept hidden .....

Krishnan I respect you but if criticism is to be laid at the door of the NHS managers that ignored the doctors raising concerns
Then what of the politicians & journalists that ignore the countless NHS whistleblowing cases that are so publicly repeatedly mishandled and covered up
Everything about the Letby case is profoundly shocking - the murders themselves and the horrific impact on so many people, but also the institutional reaction of NHS managers when doctors raised the alarm and wanted to call the police. Big questions to discuss. This kind of news…

As a doctor who has been burnt and continues to be burnt by a 10 year long NHS whistleblowing case - the reality of the British justice system being thrust into the public domain by the Post Office Scandal and ITV is a powerful opportunity for change.
I hope we all take it
"One sub-postmaster in the TV drama says that he placed his trust in the British justice system to arrive at the truth and establish his innocence, only to end up being found guilty and ordered to pay more than £300,000 in costs to the Post Office."
