Dear Editor,
I watched the documentary in question on BBC's Panorama. The so called reporter under cover, a Miss Shahida from Uzbekhistan, and the whole Panorama crew, broke the law in front of hidden TV cameras, in at least 10 European countries. Shahida sought contact with passport forgers, paid for fake passports, practically encouraged the illegal practice, and was in tears when treated rough by the criminals! What on Earth was she expecting? I have seen many absurds in my time, but that is one of its kind.
The documentary was focused around the fact that fake passports are easily attainable in Eastern and Central Europe, and everybody who actually attains a fake EU passport does so with the one and only aim - that is to go to England.
That is the first preposterously wrong presumption on which the documentary was built. The second one is that a BBC crew can break the law in as many countries as they like to prove a point, never mind how absurd it might be.
Surprisingly for me, nobody protested against that, no Internal Affairs Ministry of the countries whose laws were broken sought explanation or pressed charges.
Am I the only person who thinks that is exactly what they need to do, and determinedly so? Why nobody has reacted in any way to that illegal activity?
I am more than sure that no foreign TV crew would be ever allowed making a documentary and in the same time breaking the English law, and rightfully so.
Why the other countries do not do the same?
