I dont want to spoil it for you channel 4 always repeats their shows so keep your eyes peeled they may replay it on a later slot..they also repeat the shows on E4 so if you have that in your package you may be able to watch it on there....

I really enjoy their documentaries as they are very real..dont know if you saw The road to Guantanamo it was a fabulous eye opening film and a fantastic fantastic movie by 4.

Just a little snippet : It was about the youth of Bradford how they were provoked by police and how a peaceful town was suddenly involved in a voilent rioting.

I only saw the last 20mins or so and it was depressing enough to watch.

The whole case highlighted the racism in the British justice system. Asians were given far stiffer sentences than their white counterparts guilty of the same offenses.

I live in uk and i know there is recism everywhere...some people you can tell when they are racist but the ones you cannot tell about are very dangerous..

Missed the begining part, tell me something, in the end they gave statistics of convictions which were supposed to demonstrate their severity comprable to WWII, is that true? Dont British courts have the right to appeal? And, what happened to all those poor kids?

Great programme though.
