Panorama: Scientology and Me

submitted by benjee

1 decade 7 years 6 months ago

Scientology isn't actually a recognised religion in the UK, after Hubbard accused the prime minister Harold Wilson and all European Psychiatry of a grand conspiracy against Scientologists. This report by the BBCs excellent Panorama investigative programme tries to understand why Scientologists want that Judges decision decades ago reversed. Ironicly, the 'church' prooved the presenters point that they use intimidation and espionage to slander outsiders - by attacking the reporter during and after. A few links to explain the aftermath of this documentary:
