The Schoolgirl Terrorist?; A House Through Time

“By the end of the hour you feel like you have sat through a nightmare, watching Emily and others who loved Rhianan shout into voids that were supposedly filled with people trained and ready to help those in exactly their situation. Instead, it is a catalogue of missed opportunities, failures and – almost the most frustrating, maddening, galling thing – the simple sense that there was no one, or certainly no one high enough up the food chain to make a difference – who had the wit or courage to look at the situation in the round early on and say: this child is not what we mean by terrorist. We have gone badly wrong and we must fix this.”

“Olusoga does his thing: whispered delivery, pauses at odd points in his sentences, a slo-mo shot of him strolling along in his favourite navy jacket.

I can’t be sure, but in a later episode you catch a glimpse of his ankles and he appears to be sock-less. We’ve come a long way since Kenneth Clark.”
