The Fifth Estate in Mascarade

At The Cinema                            SPOOKS REDUX “ I think I mentioned that MoSup, particularly, missed watching two (or more) episodes of White Collar as we supped each night.  I suggested that she would probably get just as caught up by Spooks (MI-5), and I was right.  It's been a few years since I watched the series, so I am able to re-enjoy most of them,  although there are no Holy MFS! moments for me.  Last night we watched episode 20, "A Prayer for My Daughter." Because I'm not immersed in British politics (although I'm becoming more so, as I watch more and more BBC stuff), I didn't have my antennae up the way I do with anything Hollywood.  I eventually did catch on to SPOOKS leftist tilt, but missed in the first go-around what every Brit caught in #20; the bad guy, a murdering media mogul, not only resembled Rupert Murdoch, he was BBC's character assassination target, something that continues in real life. I am reminded of this after posting the previous Koch Brothers targeting.  Progressives are pricks in any language . Influential United Nations negotiator Patricia Norton (Jan Chappell) is kidnapped and later found murdered. Because Adam was fond of her, he discovers that a shadow organisation called the November Committee, in which media mogul David Swift (Ruppert Murdoch) is a key member, was involved as they wanted her to cease any peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian territories. ”
