'I had a run-in with BA last year when I found I couldn’t spend a pandemic-issued voucher online. Having battled to obtain it, I wasn’t going to let its system defeat me. So I called up and booked our flights, only to be slapped with a telephone booking surcharge that wiped out the value of the voucher. Recognising the futility of losing my temper with them, I put the phone down and offloaded on to my husband. I offloaded on to him again recently when BA’s parent company IAG revealed record annual profits.'

Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant (born Margaret Oliphant Wilson; 4 April 1828 – 20 June 1897[1]) was a Scottish novelist and historical writer, who usually wrote as Mrs. Oliphant. Her fictional works cover "domestic realism, the historical novel and tales of the supernatural".[2]
Interest in Mrs Oliphant's work declined in the 20th century. In the mid-1980s, a small-scale revival was led by the publishers Alan Sutton[23] and Virago Press, centred on the Carlingford series and some similarities of subject-matter with the work of Anthony Trollope.[24]
Penguin Books in 1999 published an edition of Miss Marjoribanks (1866).[25] Hester (1873) was reissued in 2003 by Oxford World's Classics.[26] In 2007–2009, the Gloucester publisher Dodo Press reprinted half a dozen of Oliphant's works. In 2010, both the British Library and Persephone Books reissued The Mystery of Mrs. Blencarrow (1890), in the latter case with the novella Queen Eleanor and Fair Rosamund (1886),[27] and the Association for Scottish Literary Studies produced a new edition of the novel Kirsteen (1890).[28]
BBC Radio 4 broadcast four-hour dramatisations of Miss Marjoribanks in August/September 1992 and Phoebe Junior in May 1995. A 70-minute adaptation of Hester was broadcast on Radio 4 in January 2014.[29]
Russell Hoban alludes to Oliphant's fiction in his 2003 novel Her Name Was Lola.[30]
郵政局地平線系統冤案的受害人數可能多達700人。
2021年4月23日，英格蘭和威爾士上訴法院（Court of Appeal of England and Wales）推翻39名郵政支局長（sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses）的刑事犯罪判決，郵政局監守自盜案自此成為英國迄今已知最嚴重的一起冤案。
這些案件源於英國郵政局公司（Post Office Ltd）在2000年引入的日本富士通（Fujitzu）「地平線」（Horizon）電子會計系統。因其連番出錯，多達736名郵政支局長被郵政局公司起訴。許多人被判有罪，輕則罰款，重則入獄。
英國首相約翰遜（Boris Johnson）歡迎上訴法院的裁決，並形容此案是「令人震驚的不公義」；郵政局公司前總裁保拉·馮內爾斯牧師（Rev Paula Vennells）發表書面聲明道歉，宣佈停止執行教會職務，並辭任英國知名家具商Dunelm與連鎖超市Morrisons的非執行董事。
然而，因這起冤案家破人亡、妻離子散、出獄後被僱主拒絶錄用者，大有人在。上訴法院的判決也許只是連串平反索賠行動的開始。
