After 20 years, TV documentaries, long running newspaper campaigns, parliamentary inquiries, finally a smoking gun. And hopefully some jail time, and even more hopefully some way to force companies to admit to wrong doing

However this scandal has ruined one more thing for me - the Hollywood feel good movie where the hero walks into the newspaper offices, lays out the terrible thing the big corporate firm has been murdering people to cover up, and credits roll.

Now we know credits roll for 20 years and people still deny there is anything wrong.

This is why ordinary Russians liked Putin and why the strongman is a popular political figure. Democracy does need a way to fix scandals like this. (Cf the selling of hundreds of millions of pounds of Tyneside property for one pound an acre)
