"What I saw is quite beyond my powers of description."

Oh, why am I watching The Relief of Belsen? It's not cheering me up any.

But maybe it's worse not to watch it. It's done well, I think. Better it's made than not. Better it's broadcast than not. It reminds me why I am happy to be British: you really can make the world a better place with little more than a sense of decency and good project management skills. And it reminds me of Banksy's Manifesto, which can still move me to tears.

There is evil, but there is also good. There is inhumanity, but there is also art that works for anyone with a heart.
