I watched the first two last night as well.
I'm on 3 now, tucked up in bed with beans on toast and tea looking out at the snow!
It's so mad, them all lining up and yer man driving by in his jag!
One local hit the nail on the head when he said don't equate education with common sense.
That Sheelagh one is some piece of work.
I have to go out in the snow
so am looking forward to watching the rest of it later . Unbelievable how peoples minds work , and it's crazy how we (I) never heard of it before !

I watched one on BBC3 a few years ago on homelessness in Las Vegas and the number of children affected by it.
Can't remember what it was called, but it was a real eye opener.
Hundreds of people/families are living in the storm drains of Las Vegas and the programme focused on the efforts of the schools in the area to provide education, support nutrition and some kind of security to children who have basically been abandoned by the state.
The lack of any coherent social supports for poor people is really laid bare.
It strikes home the dichotomy of the haves on the Strip, versus the have nots in the drainage systems.
America is a great country to be rich in, but God help you if you are poor!
But any country including our own should be judged on how we look after the weakest in our society.
In the States, where social supports such as public medecine or a "Dole" are deemed anathema and its really everyone for themselves...
If you are a real American, you will follow the dream and not need Government help
It's a country that I wouldn't want to live in without a hefty salary and great benefits 0 -

I must watch this, I have listened to loads of Osho on YouTube over the years. Mildly aware of the controversy, but always found his videos powerful and enjoyable. His very bling watches standout and can be distracting though
.
I even had an Osho app on my phone, kind of a thought for the day thing.0 -

Just finished it now. Could not stop till I got to the end.
Loved the little guy from Antelope(he ended up being on the Council with the Rajneesh) and his attitude to the whole thing, totally agree with his sum up of the whole thing towards the end as well.
There are so many twists and turns that you can’t actually believe it’s true.
Some of the stuff is so bonkers I was actually laughing at the madness of it(the homeless people bit) and the beavers.
Wouldn’t listen to Bagran or Osho in a fit- I found it hilarious the way he changed his mind like the weather when suited and he was a horrible sleazy chancer.
One bit also made me really laugh but I won’t say what it was as it gives away the story.
It’s very sad and scary how ppl fall for this crap.
Brilliant documentary and so well made. Told from every angle. Beats making a murderer hands down for me.0 -
