Have to say that I find the format of these documentaries uncomfortable. The story could have been told in one not four episodes and the key evidence (identical fingerprints) was not mentioned until well into episode 3, as I recall.
Nicholas Rossi is not the most attractive individual to watch doing a fan-dance; a waste of my time.
Great to see that there's a new series (#5) of #TheDogHouse on #Channel4 in the #UK starting on Thursday the 15th (the day after tomorrow). Not only one of the best #feelgood shows on #tv, it contains #dogs! 🐶
The United States and more than a dozen other countries quickly moved to suspend funding to UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian #refugees, a vital lifeline for millions of people in #Gaza, shortly after Israel accused a handful of the agency’s staff of taking part in the Hamas attack on October 7.
But the U.K. broadcaster #Channel4 obtained the intelligence dossier on #UNRWA that #Israel shared with allied countries, and found “no evidence to support its explosive new claim.”
The Financial Times and Sky News also reviewed the materials and came to the same conclusion : Israel’s claims about UNRWA are just the latest example of what journalist Jeremy Scahill says is a “deliberate propaganda campaign” to justify its brutal assault on Gaza.
“This is one of the most epic frauds in modern history, reminiscent of the lies told to explain and justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq,” says Scahill, senior reporter and correspondent at The Intercept.
This link goes to a thoroughly documented article from journalist #JeremyScahill of The Intercept that demonstrate Israel’s ruthless #Propaganda campaign to dehumanize Palestinians.
Hmmm... so the headlines are all about #channel4 laying off staff & looking for smaller #London premises... but actually what seems to be happening is the C4 is laying off London-based staff as it relocates out of the capital, and will then (one might assume) be recruiting staff in new locations.
So actually, this is a story about 'good' jobs becoming available in the regions, but is spun as a 'loss' of jobs because those loosing the jobs are in London.
And the winner is? Sebastian James, son of Christopher George Walter James, 5th Baron Northbourne, 6th Baronet. One of 90 hereditary peers elected to remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999.
He also went to Eton and Oxford, was a member of the Bullingdon Club, and goes on holiday with one David Cameron. #Channel4#OldSchoolTies#UKPolitics
#channel4 news gives an overview of the #DoctorsStrikes in the UK nations, yet somehow manages to ignore the fact that there's no strike in #Scotland because #ScottishGovernment sat down and negotiated. Tories won't respect #Doctors just as they don't respect the rest of us #GTTO
I watched Rhod Gilbert's 'Pain in the neck' documentary, which tells the story of his treatment for throat cancer. A courageous, funny and deeply moving tribute to the Velindre Cancer Centre and the good people of the NHS. Highly recommend! ❤️🩹
It's weird none of the UK journalists seem to have noticed this guy was in the Lehi? The Lehi tried to do deals with Hitler, letter-bombed British MPs (including Churchill) and assassinated the British Minister for Cairo. :blobcatcoffee:
The year is 1982; #Channel4 launches; Madness’ ‘House of Fun’ is in the charts; ‘Blade Runner’ premieres in cinemas; the first CD player goes on sale; the #Commodore64 is released; Nike launch the Air Force 1 basketball shoe; and you’re wearing your new Space Shuttle Game Watch.
Your mission is to get the shuttle from one side of the screen to the other, landing it on the base, while avoiding planets and space ships. It is made more challenging by the base randomly appearing and disappearing.
For a brief time this year, Amazon's bestselling "bitter lemon drink" was "Release Energy," which consisted of the harvested urine of Amazon delivery drivers, rebottled for sale by #CatfishUK prankster #OobahButler in a stunt for a new #Channel4 doc, "#TheGreatAmazonHeist":

There's a Channel 4 "Dispatches" exclusive announced for tonight, about UK comedy people. Dispatches doesn't usually get shown on Saturdays.
Russell Brand has already put out a YT explaining he was "promiscuous in the past" but Popbitch says there's more than one. In case you've missed what Brand is up to these days since the Sachs thing, he's a Covid denier, anti-vax, great reset, the whole shebang. Musk and Tate have defended him so far.
