Ian Hislop Reveals Some Little-known Details About The Post Office Scandal

1st February 2024

Ian Hislop at his best, bringing us up-to-date on some of the background details on what has been called the greatest miscarriage of justice in recent British history.

Ian Hislop fearlessly telling it like it is on the Post Office scandal: 'We're talking perjury here, we're not talking incompetence... This money was stolen... Fujitsu stole the money...'

And when Peston began to show signs of anxiety at his rant, no doubt fearful that it could contain libellous material: 'No reason for any of your lawyers to have a heart attack', but he increased the speed up his delivery, aware that his time was limited and that a commercial break was looming.

He was however allowed to resume his tirade after the break, when he had a go at MP Jake Berry, who for Hislop clearly personified the faux-outrage of many another Tory who had suddenly discovered sympathy for the victims in the run-up to a General Election.

An excellent contribution to the debate by Hislop, which may just help to ensure that we won't be encouraged to 'move on' without the key issues being dealt with by a proper investigation.
