@jed_mercurio
is saying corruption in the UK is endemic, governance is being weakened and people aren't held to account.
Hence there is no happy ending, or a big twist because it is all brushed under the carpet.
People shouldn't be blaming the BBC for today's announced cuts. They are totally the result of Nadine Dorries recent decision to freeze the TV licence fee again. This government has cut BBC funding by 40% over 10 years.

At the conclusion of
#LineofDuty
, there is no more relevant message that
@jed_mercurio
can deliver than too many police and institutional crimes go unpunished. That's just my take on what I think was the overarching theme of the whole series. I could be wrong of course.

The permanent long-term economic hit to the UK economy from the Brexit deal that "genius" Lord Frost negotiated is 4% of GDP - which is ยฃ80bn. About half what it costs to run the NHS. Put that on the side of a bus next time.

Allowing the Prime Minister 5 minutes of unchallenged primetime TV, 4 days before a by-election, without a response from the leader of the opposition raises some ethical questions I'd have thought.
