Further comments to the BSA


Regardless of the Broadcasting Standards Authority response, this site believes the complaint was worth filing:

·           to put on record that it was a shabby interview,

·           to reiterate the point that those hostile to the book have been unable to shake the basic argument that the creche case was a botched investigation into a crime that never happened.
