Exactly. Now the LSE will find it will have problems doing studies in any country that has questionable ethics, and there are plenty of those.

Although I disagree with the use of the phrase 'human shield' - it wasn't anything like that, to be honest - I think what the Panorama team did was pretty bloody irresponsible, tbh.

I'll reserve judgement until I've seen it.

Although I doubt they will show the part where the journalists are under mortar fire and hiding behind the students. Probably because it didn't happen.

It’s a 30 minute programme. You’d think that they’d have enough for an hour.
