Absolutely excellent documentary. It is interesting that the BBC, Ch4 or ITV have never felt it necessary to do this kind of balanced and objective coverage of TR's story. I remember first seeing him on a Nicky Campbell debate show in which the panelists repeatedly silenced him by accusing him of being a racist. Needless to say no one bothered to defending his right to have an opinion let alone his right to speak. It was as though they had invited him on the show just to insult, dismiss and belittle him. His interview with Piers Morgan on GMB seemed to serve a similar purpose. Broadcasters want to distance themselves from him without even trying to understand what his message actually is. TR is one of the most significant figures in UK politics at the moment as well as definitely being the most courageous. Compare him to the so-called 'champion of women's rights', Jess Phillips, and her cowardly avoidance of facing up to the grooming gang scandal. History and hindsight will prove TR's activism justified, that he was deliberately and illegally targetted by the authorities and that he is worthy of much more acclaim than he is currently afforded in the UK.
