The unspeakable wrong done to Sima Misra and her family

Again last evening Channel 4’s main evening news reported on the ongoing scandal at the UK Post Office.

They reported the story of Sima Misra, who was jailed at the behest of the Post Office, wrongfully accused of having stolen money from the post office which she managed.

The day of her jailing she had earlier taken her then 10-year-old child to school. When he went home that evening his mother was in jail.

At the time the boss at the Post Office was David Smith, who gave evidence yesterday at the current inquiry into the scandal.

Channel 4 showed a clip of the hearing, which covered Smith's apology. The programme also interviewed Mr Misra, the husband of Sima Misra.

The contrast between the two men was striking. Mr Smith, looked confident, rich and certainly showed no remorse for the disaster he had brought on Mr Misra’s wife and indeed the entire family. Mr Misra looked and sounded a broken man.

The management class again.
