Series like Mr Bates vs the PO managed to cut through, like wakeful murmurings in an otherwise deep sleep. But for the rest, the media ensures that our moral outrage is woven into the backdrop of daily political life as inevitable ‘Left of field’ noise."

They could have told them where to stick the BAFTA until the SPMs finally receive their due.

A PBS show worth watching. That is if we can manage to keep PBS alive.

But "Mr Bates" still hasn't had his compensation.

This was a brilliant movie shown on PBS. Loved it.

I loved that show. It was a true example of how persistence in taking on a behemoth can win in the end

Politicians & officials will learn from their experience

They will never be caught out again, allowing more institutional abuses without redress or threat of criminal action against officials

It's how they dumbed down police training, regulations, vicarious liability & associated enforcement abuse

Good! I was worried it would be forgotten, as it was so long ago.
