    The idea of the revolutionary place being turned into a betting shop is precisely what happens when you give up fighting, someone will ride in and capitalise from you :/

    Linda Bellos was in fact a good council leader. And Alexei has always been a brilliant comedian. What a good feature.

    The interviewer consistently interrupts people he is interviewing. Some had genuine insights into recent history. Quite painful to witness his complete lack of regard.
