When you see the allegations surface hardly a few days prior and already a full length documentary is already out? Reeks of propaganda and misinformation force-fed in a legal way as to make look authentic and factual. The real question remains who profits from these allegations and why now? Watch the documentary and you will not be left guessing about it's intent as to why sudden new allegations arise now when the accused can no longer defend himself. Just like the convenient death of dodi in a car crash in a tunnel where no one saw anything yet witnesses swear it was a car crash. Very very convenient to the elites.

It's so difficult to review a programme like this which has been all over the British news since it was broadcast on BBC2 only a few days ago. What it is, of course, as the title makes clear, is a no-holds barred exposé of the predatory sexual habits of the recently deceased Egyptian billionaire businessman Mohammed Al-Fayed, one-time owner of Harrods of London and the Ritz Hotel in Paris, chairman of Fulham football club and of course the father of Dodi, who died in the same car-crash as his then girl-friend Diana, Princess of Wales.

Even during his life, there were allegations of sexual impropriety against this obviously very powerful man which while they occasionally got hinted about on television, made their way into print or even found their way to official complaints to the police, somehow never resulted in any charges being made against him, far less any criminal conviction. He is of course the latest wealthy and powerful male to be exposed like this, people like Harvey Weinstein, Roger Ailes, Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Cosby and Jimmy Savile (although like the latter, he got to die before his deviant acts came to light) all come to mind plus, as I write, the current accusations directed at Abercrombie and Fitch owner Mike Jeffries are likewise all over the news.

The programme presents several women, obviously now in middle-age, with the platform to finally unburden themselves of their awful experiences at quite literally the hands of Al-Fayed and hopefully to some degree by coming forward with their testimonies, to achieve some degree of closure for themselves. Although he naturally can't now be tried for his crimes, for one thing, the admissions, apologies and financial settlements made subsequently by Harrods' owners as good as confirm the veracity of pretty much all that's stated here. Certainly there's not one person who stands up to defend his character with no one from his own immediate circle of family, friends or business acquaintances prepared to make any kind of counter-claim on his behalf.

Every female victim tells her own similar tale to the camera, some bravely doing so straight to camera, some with their faces partially concealed, some speak off-camera with their voices distorted and others have their parts played and lines spoken by actresses. All their stories have a sordid similarity to them, pretty young girls identified by Al-Fayad usually on the shop floor, invited to his plush apartments in Park Lane where he would attempt to force himself on them. Four have stated they were raped by him while many others have come forward to say that were subject to serious sexual assaults, with no doubt at all that all have undoubtedly been psychologically scarred by the experience.

Being incredibly rich, Al-Fayed could deflect attention away from any threat of discovery by for one thing employing the similarly disgraced publicist Max Clifford to make the charges go away or by putting himself in the public eye, associating himself with Diana or carrying out other publicity stunts like appearing on trashy TV shows acting the fool or squiring Michael Jackson around London. He even recently got a whole episode of "The Crown" named after him which again showed him in a very sympathetic, patrician light.

The plain truth seems to be that like the other members of the Rogues Gallery mentioned above he too was a sexual deviant, hiding in plain sight under the cloak of respectability, showing once again that if you're rich and powerful enough you can often get away with heinous acts like this.

My only criticism of the programme would be its interviewing past reporters employed at the time with the now discontinued scandal-sheet the "News of the World" newspaper and the participation of a film-maker partner of one of the victims which seemed a little self-serving to me.

Still, this story is one which has rightfully been brought to full public awareness and one can only hope that it helps each and every one of Al Fayed's victims to cope with and ultimately move on from what must have been an awful experience for each and everyone of them.

One wonders what the next major reveal of this type will be although I personally could hazard one or two guesses...
