00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:02.712
Welcome to Global Watchdog.

00:00:02.712 --> 00:00:03.688
Winston.

00:00:03.688 --> 00:00:05.762
English bulldog by pedigree,

00:00:05.762 --> 00:00:07.375
constitutional irritant by

00:00:07.375 --> 00:00:08.770
inclination.

00:00:09.475 --> 00:00:10.875
I recognise an obedience

00:00:10.875 --> 00:00:12.700
command when I hear one.

00:00:12.700 --> 00:00:14.925
‘ Trust us ’ is merely ‘ Sit ’

00:00:14.925 --> 00:00:16.445
in a better suit.

00:00:17.150 --> 00:00:19.075
Alan Wood investigates public

00:00:19.075 --> 00:00:21.100
spending, our schools, and

00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:23.075
local accountability, with the

00:00:23.075 --> 00:00:25.237
unreasonable expectation that

00:00:25.237 --> 00:00:26.800
an official explanation should

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:28.520
explain something.

00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:30.938
We apply the same scrutiny to

00:00:30.938 --> 00:00:32.863
scams, hidden fees, and

00:00:32.863 --> 00:00:34.725
products whose most impressive

00:00:34.725 --> 00:00:37.095
feature is the advertising.

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:39.462
You’ll also find independent

00:00:39.462 --> 00:00:41.400
commentary and EduLingo’s

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:43.537
Spanish teaching resources.

00:00:43.537 --> 00:00:44.938
One ought to be able to ask

00:00:44.938 --> 00:00:46.725
awkward questions in more than

00:00:46.725 --> 00:00:48.145
one language.

00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:49.850
Do explore.

00:00:49.850 --> 00:00:51.550
I was bred to hold on.

00:00:51.550 --> 00:00:53.225
‘ No further questions ’ has

00:00:53.225 --> 00:00:54.688
never struck me as legally

00:00:54.688 --> 00:00:55.795
binding.

00:00:56.525 --> 00:00:58.795
Sniff twice, publish once.
