Trademark BBC UK-funded, anti-UK production

Carson? Northern Ireland? Sensitive topics. You need a reasoned individual from both sides, with each of them willing to admit their wrongdoing as well as being able to cite instances of his community being wronged.

The BBC freezing out one side to fund a Republican hit-piece that dehumanises Unionists doesn't sound like a wise approach.

(Not all Unionists! The token "tame hun" is here, mocking his own, and wishing to live together in perfect harmony... with the IRA!)

And it's not a wise approach. As far as obvious propaganda goes, they could've saved a fortune by giving An Phoblacht away free with the Radio Times that week instead!

Rumour has it that the writer approached RTE, who turned it down as it was far too biased and over-the-top in its anti-Britishness for their network to show.
