This is so banal. More context, more analysis please.
It’s difficult not to dislike nearly everyone involved in this sordid affair, including the narrator!
Brilliant enjoyed every episode and could t wait for the next one to drop fascinating story makes you wonder why any one would vote Farage my god
The presenter, Gabriel, can barely speak he’s so posh! Despite that (I found this hilarious) the investigation and reporting are thorough and interesting. It can be tricky to gain a balance with this kind of topic, there are parts of the story that teeter towards farce, but it’s sadly true. But I can’t move past how posh the presenter is, too funny!
Yawn
