Dispatches: Spinning Terror

With Britain facing the greatest terrorist threat in our history, the nation trusts the government to devise policies to protect the nation and our way of life. But, in this film, Dispatches reporter Peter Oborne reveals that our trust may be misplaced. He presents the case that the government has reacted to the London bombings by rushing through anti-terror policies motivated by the desire to ward off tabloid criticism, gain electoral advantage and make the government look strong. This film is a damning critique of a government that has helped spin terror lies, motivated too often by narrow political calculation, an approach that has serious implications for our security.
