Seen it adverised and forgot to tape it.
Maybe it will be repeated on More4.

Apologies for a small hijack Purple. Truthseeker I tried to watch this yesterday after Purple's original post. I tried u tube and it told me I couldn't watch it due to copyright issues. Today I can watch it on 4od? Anyone know why this is?

Will anything be done about it? No.
Will it happen again? Yes, or course it will.
Why? Because nobody cares enough (me included).
I remember some years ago when Pat Kenny had a piece on the late late about Africa, it really affected me,and it was a coincidence that someone from Trocarie called to my door the very next day and asked about signing up for a direct debit to them, which we did and have done so for many years now

That's a little bit too Save the Worldy for me Purple! Personally I don't feel in the slightest bit hypocritical by not knowing (or caring) who the good/bad guys are in Sri Lanka. To be perfectly honest I couldn't give a sh1t what goes on over there. Maybe I'm a bit self centered but I'm quite content to live with that!
