Has anyone else been watching this brilliant series on ITV, the final episode was tonight. Its obviously a dramatisation of real events with Toby Jones as the lead character but also with a stellar cast of other actors. We like to think that we have a fair and just justice system in this country but most would change their view of that having watched what these Postmasters went through and those that have survived are still going through.

I've just read she's been shortlisted for Bishop of London, pushed by the Archbishop of Canterbury!

Not taken much to get her apology...... 😡

She was shortlisted back in 2017, B2, but didn’t get the job.

Couldn't find the report when I went back to BBC page, headlines were her CBE.

Was surprised as I glanced at the headlines. Oh course we have a woman as Bishop of London DOH!
