The recent ITV drama Mr. Bates vs The Post Office has, quite rightly, highlighted a grave miscarriage of justice. The fact that it was a drama rather than documentary has been suggested as a reason why it has resonated with the general public in the way that it has. The empathy created for the individuals by the actors could not have been achieved with a documentary.
The most telling thing for me is that the ITV executives who decided to commission and broadcast the drama must have been confidently assured by their legal team that there would be no legal ramifications despite the painting of The Post Office, Fujitsu, Paula Vennells and Angela Van den Bogerd in a very bad light. Indeed quite the opposite has happened.
Private Eye has, to its credit, been covering this story for some time but has never had the reach that the ITV drama has had.
It is interesting, when conversing with people, how so many were completely unaware of this scandal prior to the broadcast. It made me ask the follow-up question of how much they new about the tainted blood scandal which Private Eye has also covered over the years. Predictably no one I spoke to was aware of this either.
For those that don’t know, in the 1970s and 1980s, 4,689 people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders were infected with HIV and hepatitis viruses through the use of contaminated clotting factors. Some of those unintentionally infected their partners, often because they were unaware of their own infection.
The haemophilia society covers the story on its website.
The basic story is that blood products administered by the NHS were bought from America where the blood had knowingly originally been sourced from drug addicts and was contaminated with hepatitis and HIV.
There appear to have been attempts to cover up the story and even though there was a full public inquiry, compensation has been slow, with many victims dying before receiving a penny and family members who had to give up careers to care for loved ones not being eligible for any of the compensation that their now-deceased relative would be entitled to. Perhaps a TV drama could help here.
No doubt there are many more similar stories of high level obfuscation and cover-up but the current elephant in the room has to be the Covid vaccines. There are so many cases of people’s health deteriorating following vaccination, the apparent increase in heart-related collapses of athletes, football matches and other events being stopped for someone in the crowd to receive medical attention. I don’t recall a match being stopped for that reason prior to the vaccine rollout. Was it happening but people just didn’t notice? I doubt it.
In 2020 we saw the initial panic over Covid but there is no sign of an unusual number of people dying from blood clots or heart attacks. There wasn’t any increase in myocarditis, particularly in the young, until the vaccine rollout. Now as more and more people are shunning the vaccines, cases of these conditions appear to be dropping again.
It may take decades but I do predict that the truth will come out regarding the Covid vaccines, although I doubt Private Eye will be ahead of the game on this one considering its slavish following of the establishment line over the last few years.

No, “Scandals Should Not Take Decades to Expose”… but they do, because it’s a fix! The people conducting the scandals and the investigations are one and the same!
“Democracy”, huh.
Yes, otherwise the gaols would be full of politicians and their cronies.
And thalidomide.
Also from Germany I believe
One phrase- “Wilful Blindness” – a book that is well worth reading.
The truth about the C1984 “vaccines” is already out. It will however remain buried by officialdom because too many of that class were / are in on the real agenda behind the injections and that is maim, sterilise and kill.
If the truth came out officially too many people would be signing their own death warrants because that is without doubt what it would come to either via courts or enraged mobs.
C1984 was the opening campaign in a war on humanity. The next campaign is Nut Zero with additional fronts to be opened via Disease X – officially not yet discovered but most certainly already brewed and sitting in one of Billy’s labs – possible World Wars, and all helped along with doses of CBDC’s and Digital ID’S.
We are at war. It commenced March 2020.
It started long before then. They’ve been planning this for decades.
Yes I am well aware that the war has been planned for years but March 2020 was when hostilities formally commenced.
Would exercise extreme caution over the hiv aids hypothesis. Whilst there may be a hiv virus the evidence for causation of aids is threadbare. In fact now we aren’t treating the disease with lethal quantities of a cancer drug, it doesn’t seem to kill anyone at all. Strangely the ppl who “died of it” initially were ppl leading a particular lifestyle using drugs and amyl nitrate liberally, and whose immune systems had been wrecked through over use of antibiotic to treat various diseases. Has anyone ever met anyone who actually died of aids who wasn’t given a lethal dose of AZT?
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is not a disease it’s a syndrome – clue in the name.
The immune deficiency can be acquired from a number of factors, for example, drug therapies, particularly chemotherapy, from over-vaccination (V-AIDS), from poor diet, genetic, from exposure to environmental factors such as toxic chemicals, from pathogens.
That AIDS has become synonymous with HIV is not surprising, because of the poor quality of information from ‘experts’ and Governments, poor quality media reporting and misunderstanding in the general population.
Recently the term CoVid – the name for the disease – was used almost exclusively to refer to the virus SARS CoV 2. People, it was said, ere infected by CoVid – no they were infected by the virus. People tested positive for CoVid which was nonsense because PCR is not a diagnostic test. People tested positive for SARS CoV 2 which does not mean they have the disease, just detectable viral material.
So HIV clearly was a cause of AIDS, although it is not the only one.
The most probable cause of those who were diagnosed with AIDS who also tested positive for HIV, and with antibodies to the virus, was the HIV infection.
HIV is not ‘clearly’ the cause of AIDS. Karry Mullis didn’t think so – he wrote the forward to the excellent book by Peter Deusberg’s very thought-provoking, ‘Inventing the Aids Hypothesis’. Even Luc Montagnier, who won a Nobel for his work linking HIV to AIDS later admitted that HIV could not be the primary cause of AIDS, relegating it to a ‘co-factor’.
A friend of mine supposedly died of AIDS it seemed to be the in thing then especially if homosexual. He also had a brain tumour which was probably the more likely cause.
The only footballer I know of who collapsed on field pre 2020 with a heart problem was Fabrise Muamba. It was rare enough to be newsworthy and appeared on TV and in print. Hence I remember his name all these years later, despite never watching football.
But afterwards? Oh it’s always been happening, nothing to see here.
Apparently Andrew Bridgen tried to get help for the postmasters some years back. Another commendable attempt to secure justice.
Andrew Bridgen has told us that when he first raised the excess deaths as an issue a Minister asked him what he wanted to shut up about it and said the Government had no interest in exploring the issue. He added that the Government wanted it suppressed for 20 years, when Bridgen would probably be found to be right.
The Establishment looks after its own ….. which is why all the scandals of recent decades, from Thalidomide onwards ….. have taken decades to be addressed.
The Government has quietly withdrawn the Astrazeneca jab, whilst refusing to investigate adverse impacts. It is refusing to investigate the mRNA ones – not least because it has entered into a Contract with ModeRNA to build a jab-factory in the UK.
Money talks, but it can’t sing or dance and it can’t walk. And neither can hundreds of thousands of people (possibly millions) who have been killed or damaged by mRNA jabs.
And now we know that Horizon was not the first IT issue the PO had…..with very similar outcomes for Post-masters and mistresses.
Excellent article. Most people remain deaf and blind to the very obvious issues arising from the pandemic and the novel vaccines and are totally oblivious of the truth. The propaganda has worked extremely well, effectively brainwashing the public to ignore the truth that is hiding in plain sight!
Roll on the dramatisation!
No they shouldn’t take ages but its done deliberately so as to become but a distant memory in most of our minds.
The “true” extent of Myocarditis given the known incidence of this side effect with both LNP and induced S1/S2 toxic protein can only be revealed, apart from those who die, have died and an autopsy undertaken, by population wide testing using, eg, D Dimer/Troponin tests; until then it is guesswork which people from all walks of life who hide behind the “extremely rare” rubbish like to trot out.
Decadal delays in establishing formal inquiries into environmental and social disasters are the absolute rule whenever politicians are at risk of public exposure of their gross incompetence and lethal stupidity.
Thirty six years ago twenty thousand people in my community in North Cornwall were poisoned by the aluminium-contaminated water supply. Livestock and pets died, many people were extremely ill, and some died from aluminium-induced dementia. Several even committed suicide, rather than face the appalling implications for their future health.
Just as in the recent pandemic, the government panicked, and repeatedly attempted to cover up the whole incident. The reason back then was they feared that full exposure could have blocked its grand plan to privatise the water sector the following year. Eventually it was forced to set up an ‘inquiry’, whose Final Report was challenged by Prof. Chris Exley, a world authority on aluminium toxicology,. Commenting in the British Medical Journal, he wrote “If ever there was a panel set up with the absolute intention of achieving nothing then this is such a model for the future.”

Quite so. Yet even three full decades after the original incident, plans to produce a major TV documentary on the incident and its consequences were suddenly cancelled without explanation. Shortly after Dr. Exley was forced to close his internationally respected research lab after he was falsely accused of being an ‘anti-vaxxer’ . Apparently his University considered it a risk to its supposed ‘reputation’ to have such a member of staff on the payroll.
So one one of the ‘unforeseen consequences’ of that original decision to prevent a full inquiry of the 1988 incident in Cornwall has been to shut down the leading research programmes into a suspcted environmental link between aluminium in the diet and Alzheimer’s Disease. Unlike in the Covid19 outbreak, this real pandemic remains incurable and is always terminal. So my message to our scientifically illiterate politicians is this – be very VERY careful what you wish for; you could be on the receiving end of your own decisions.
Doesn’t look good on the documentary makers that they whitewashed out Andrew Bridgen. They are as bad as those they are aiming their spotlight on.
Private Eye went all in with the establishment years ago, perhaps when after initially supporting Dr Andrew Wakefield and his team, they threw him under the bus and instead got behind so-called journo Brian Deer.
I remember that. MD started March 2020 saying another flu like illness nothing to worry about and then did a reverse ferret. Another interesting thing was Private Eye’s Craig Brown as told to on Russell Brand (their 2nd in about 2 years) a week or so before the “bringing down” of Russell Brand by Sunday Times and Channel 4 who apparently had had several journalists working for years on the accusations. Must have cost a lot in salaries… Coincidence?
