Political ambitions that hide true scandals

THE new Netflix drama Anatomy Of A Scandal (starring Sienna Miller and Rupert Friend, above) is amusing enough, and an enjoyable watch. But surely the biggest scandal in British politics is not that some politicians led rackety lives at college. It is that they are dishonest about what they plan to do to the country. They hide their true motives and lie about who and what they are.

We need a drama about how young revolutionary Marxists got together at Oxbridge 50 years ago to change the world, infiltrated the political parties, the police, the charities, the BBC, the courts and the schools, and eventually achieved the revolution they dreamed of long ago.

It would be much truer to life than this stuff.
