“They Should Be Cleared, Though!“ - Marsh Family parody of Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero“
A bit of fun on a Monday night - quite rough around the edges, because it’s first full week back at school/work for us. But it’s a song adapted from another Bonnie Tyler and Jim Steinman classic - with a hilarious music video worth checking out. In case it’s so rough you don’t even recognise it, the original was “Holding Out for a Hero“ (soundtrack to the 1984 film Footloose, co-written with Dean Pitchford).
The subject matter is this massive miscarriage of justice that’s been in the headlines this week. It actually surfaced ages ago in the UK - involving innocent people operating Post Offices (known as sub-postmasters) being accused and then prosecuted and then convicted of stealing or fraud because a dodgy computer system (titled “Horizon“) misrepresented their actions, making it seem as if they had stolen because the digital figures didn’t add up. It left lots of broken lives, businesses, and families in its wake - fuelled by private prosecutions brought by the Post Office - and amazingly no one has yet been held to account for the lies, errors, and misdirected actions of either the Post Office management, or the company (Fujitsu). The huge public attention and pressure has surfaced because of a brilliant four-part ITV dramatisation that aired recently, called “Mr Bates vs The Post Office“, and now finally some action is being accelerated.
