It's deeply regrettable that it's taken a TV drama for politicians and the wider media to take the #PostOfficeScandal seriously.

There's consequently been a media scrum at the resumption of the #HorizonInquiry and the testimony of a relatively junior member of staff has been covered in forensic detail on R4.

That individual does have a case to answer, scrutiny and transparency is important.

However I think we're now in danger of missing the wider point: executives, leaders, Fujitsu etc.
