It could be you next!!!
I could not put this book down, the infamous McIntyre Uncovered programme, can be remembered by all. As someone once said "journalists don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!!!"

This excellent read just shows what length's some will go to achieve viewer rating's.

establishment conspiracy
If you're looking for a book about organised football violence then this isn't the book for you. This book is not about football hooliganism as such. Rather it is more a revelation as to the underhanded techniques of television documentary producers and the worrying failure of the British justice system. It begins by revealing how the footage filmed by an undercover bbc team was cut and edited to give an entirely false impression of what was going on. The same days filming was cut to appear to be different days for example. And if you say that "Yeh. What a suprise, all tv documentaries are edited!" then just remember that two men went to prison because of it. But the reason I would recommend this book to anyone is the final section which is the complete court transcript of the trial. You have to read it to believe it. If you had no sympathy for the author when you picked the book up, after all he was sent to prison, you'll have concerns for yourself when you finish it. It could be you next!
