How about handing the owners of the post office to the fuckin jailers to start with

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The move follows a chastening few months for the government and the network after historical scandals – frequently described as “the most widespread miscarriage of justice in UK history” – caught the public imagination with the broadcast of ITV’s drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office.

They will rekindle the proposal to take the Post Office out of government ownership and hand it to the network’s branch managers, who run its 11,500 outlets.

“Mutualisation ranks fairly highly in terms of a preferred option, it will pass power to the members of the mutual, who among others would be the sub-postmasters – who are … the heart and soul of the Post Office.

Other figures due to attend are Rose Marley, chief executive of Co-operatives UK, a national body for member-owned organisations, and Richard Trinder, chair of the Voice of the Postmaster, according to the news service Bloomberg, which first reported the meeting.

In July 2012, Norman Lamb, minister for employment relations, consumer and postal affairs, wrote: “I want clear progress to have been made towards mutualisation of the Post Office by the end of this parliament.”

The Department for Business and Trade did not comment on the meeting, but is understood to be sticking to its position that mutualisation would be appropriate only when the Post Office is financially sustainable.
