    Somewhat uncomfortable viewing though, don't you think?

    He is doing a very good job of pointing out the actual facts of the situation. The facts that are always there when you think about it, but which I guess historically we have just brushed under the large carpet of Empireness.

    Its been a very interesting series. I found the whole Palestine story from the first episode fascinating. Again, I was aware of the story but knew very little of the detail.

    I think it is episode 4 out of 5 possibly six.

    Each has a specific theme. The first was how the whole culture of Empire grew from what happened in India, mainly how the natives were used to support the whole infrastructure of Empire. Last weeks was about Sport.

    This weeks was the most oppressive and hence uncomfortable . :(
