If we wanted a masterclass in the degradation of the human species, this week we got it.
It was on BBC 1. It was on Monday night. It wasn't a programme about the massacre in Srebenica. It wasn't a programme about gang rapes in the Congo, or the sh
ooting down of peaceful protesters in Homs. It was a programme about a care home for adults with learning difficulties in Bristol.
The residents of the care home, according to the programme, spend quite a lot of time lying on sofas. They also spend quite a lot of time lying on the ground. But when they're lying on the ground, they don't look very relaxed. They don't look very relaxed, because sometimes they've got an arm around their throat. Sometimes, they've got someone kneeling over their neck. Sometimes, they've got a blanket over their face, or a chair over their chest.
