Really interesting info, highlighting how some if even only a few facts can be pasted and moulded together with less reliable info to put what may only be one side, or a predetermined and preferred side, of a story. <br /><br />Its a shame as well because aspects of the "story" had real resonance with housing and social solutions in citieswee beefyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922755344809968104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822491436217658433.post-39490138931342980662012-06-21T13:19:42.655+01:002012-06-21T13:19:42.655+01:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdbMjEjOXF8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdbMjEjOXF8Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812896897785330288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822491436217658433.post-36186472453704169022012-06-21T12:29:22.144+01:002012-06-21T12:29:22.144+01:00There are many films called 'Hide and Seek'...There are many films called 'Hide and Seek' on youtube, but not as far as I can see this one.

If you follow the link in the update to Martin Taylor's Guardian letter you will see that he refers to "hours of interviews" with his father.

I think wholly it was a shame that it's was so depressing. There so much good stuff happening in sunny Deptford at the moment shame that people see it in a darker light through this.
