Try and find out the old news reports at the time and see the tone of the reporting.
Most people I knew at the time thought it was outrageous that this obviously 32 year old man was allowed anywhere near children and this is the point.
Why should adults be allowed into children's spaces? These fools who made this film were too young to understand any of this at the time.

Agree that it was outrageous
Agree that safeguarding is paramount
Hopefully it couldn't happen today
The past is a different country and all that BUT...
...that doesn't mean this doc can't be a personal account which looks at the story from the perspective of Lee's classmates and teachers
That's what Jono McLeod has done here - and it's a great success
All the participants were duped, which seems amazing in hindsight, and their reactions and memories are compelling and instructive
I loved it

Weird.
It wasn't viewed like that at the time. People were angry and outraged up here.
Still, I'll leave you to your 'entertainment'.

Me and the majority of viewers (see earlier post)
Not everything has to be angry and condemnatory even when the story being covered is, as we agree, outrageous
This doc is a personal account which looks at the story from the perspective of Lee's classmates and teachers - and it's this that makes it fascinating
You would prefer they all had a different response, but that would be a different doc by a different film maker and would probably be pretty boring to watch

Not in Glasgow. This is what happened. Were you even aware of it when it was happening? I doubt it.

The story did pass me by at the time
And yeah, I can well imagine the reporting at the time would have been condemnatory and sensationalist
None of that negates this excellent doc by Jono McLeod

No, the difference is that a lot of people in Glasgow remember it at the time for what it was and not a revisionist view of it by someone who was too young to understand it properly.

How can it be revisionist if it's made by people who were eye witnesses? And not just a few, but lots and lots of eye witnesses - in fact it's all eye witnesses What are you suggesting, that everyone who was there has an agenda to spin it in a different way? It's clear they are sincerely remembering what happened Also fascinating how they misremember some stuff or disagree on what actually happened A great doc just not the one you'd have liked them to make

Revisionism as only middle class people can do. You only have one perception which was created by that so called documentary. That's you're whole perception, pretty ignorant and gullible as per...

I've been on Wikipedia, read some news reports
What am I missing?
We're on Planet Rogue aren't we?
Where only one perspective matters and where different opinions just get ignored

They don't get ignored. It's just a different opinion.
What did you look at? Wikipedia?!
