I suppose it could be, but I remember an item in the Guardian or Evening Standard or some other paper in 1 980/81 where they said something along the lines of "does the ad agency really think we're so ignorant we've never heard of Gallipoli?"

I think her language is discriminatory - the bureaucrat probably had a life-changing accident, so Zara shouldn't use the term 'faceless' as if it's an insult.

The tagline for the launch advertising for the movie probably applies to all of your listeners... "From a place you never heard of ... a story you'll never forget". Yeah, like no one's ever heard of Gallipoli.

Thank you. Beautifully written. I would swap the Complete Works of Shakespeare for just this piece if ever I appear on Desert Island Discs.

His irrational hatred of people from other backgrounds and religions is irrational, long-lasting and impossible to change. As a teenager, Farage was a psychopath - he’s still a psychopath.
