He looks back on a career where he cultivated the Krays, became friends with Stephen Ward who was at the heart of the Profumo scandal and dissects the challenges that investigative journalism is under."The extent to which the use of libel actions against organisations doing investigative journalism, the way in which the libel courts are now being used makes it less and less easy to do good investigative journalism."Support the podcast by signing up here Find all our podcasts here @BeebRoger@RogerBolton@mastodonapp.ukemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Hosted on Acast.
