The Tipton Three
There was the Birmingham Six, the Guildford Four and now we have the Tipton Three. There will, no doubt, be a book and a major feature film in time to come.

The prospect of financial compensation from the US Government or their British co-conspirators would appear to be too politically unpalatable for words.

Horrific to say the least. To the average urbanite deriving not just "entertainment", but so-called values from standard Hollywood fare of righteous prison officials, who uphold the dignity of their wards, this should come as an eyeopener. Of course, if Robert deNiro was on our side, willing to star on a home video and work for love and not money, then we would have a larger audience!
