I read Robert Harris' puerile The Ghost.
It has a ridiculous cop-out twist, which may amuse Paxman and his mates, but is in reality just pathetic.
Blair/Lang is indeed presented as an innocent victim of comicbook dark forces which he neither comprehends nor understands.
The book is not revolutionary. Nor radical. Let alone a challenge to MSM consensus constructed reality.
It doesn't sound as if Polanski's film is any more radical or subversive than the book. But I s'pose we'll have to wait and see.
