While at the gym last night, I had to spend an additional 20 minutes on the Nordic ski machine in order watch the whole of this riveting documentary about the treatment of Maxine Carr, and the appalling treatment of women wrongly identified as Maxine Carr by various lumpen numpties.

Don’t expect it to increase your faith in humanity.

The Yorkshire Post carry a story on the programme:

Angry mobs have forced the innocent victims to flee from their neighbourhoods despite many having no resemblance to the ex-teaching assistant and being able to prove who they are.

Marianne and two others have now spoken of their traumatic experiences for a hard-hitting television documentary, Being Maxine Carr, being broadcast on Channel 4, on Friday.

Her protests fell on deaf ears and amid a modern-day witch hunt of constant vandal attacks on her home and verbal abuse, she was forced to move away for her safety.
