Ben Houchen is trying this again but at full expense and risk to the Tax payer. This is already scandal and he will play himself into further trouble as he immerses himself in his own myth.
This documentary is so fascinating. You can see Adam Curtis exploring the idea that powerful people create and sell fantasies. Seeing John Hall blather on about changing the North-East with a tacky shopping centre full of low paid jobs is more damning than any anti-Thatcherite screed.
I largely agree, but I also wonder if there wasn't a part of John Hall that did genuinely want great things for the North East. No doubt he was fuelled by selfish ambition, but he was, it seems, also quite invested in the region. He appears as quite a conflicted character.

Adam Curtis's Industrialist question at the wedding was very bravely asked. Well done that man, I'm very appreciative of his work.
No flies on that security guard!

Hi Richard is there any way of getting in-touch with you privately regarding this video? Thanks
Proof that the Metro Centre was always intended to be a Thatcherite dystopia! Thanks for posting this.
