WTF: Imitation Is Not The Sincerest Form Of Flattery

On WTF or What’s the Focus, our weekly round-up show of the top stories this week and other news tidbits you may have missed, we review how a software error led to 736 UK Post Office branch managers being wrongly prosecuted and convicted of financial misconduct. We also ask why sometimes, imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery.
