I keep on thinking about the scandal (for those of you not based in UK: About 1,000 post office operators were wrongfully prosecuted and convicted by the Post Office between 1999 and 2015, because of faulty Horizon accounting software that suggested they had committed fraud).

It is absolutely terrible how all this unfolded (so much racism in it, too, no doubt) and the devastating impact this had on so many families.
