As worrying as this story is, I find it interesting and consoling that the BBC, which is a state owned media, didn't hesitate and even strongly pushed to investigate and publish a story of abuse at another government agency. They weren't pressured to drop it, but kept going.
Goes strongly against the common narrative about "the mainstream media" and state media in particular (about them being complicit and useless).
- v5v3 1y agoMy friend that is how they work. The BBC is not only a domestic tool, but a global tool for controlling the image of the British state and perceived lack of corruption. When people start to question their behaviour, up pops this kinda counter. The judges are part of the same system.

- v5v3 1y agoYes. These are the ancestors of the people who flooded China with Opium, and killed more people in India then Hitler did in his time. Did you not see the lengths they went to over complying over the Chagos Islands? To be 'seen' as a lawful country.
