Tonight: A Matter of Conscience
We all pay lip service to good causes. We all say we want to help people less fortunate than ourselves. But if the chance presented itself on your doorstep, how would you react? What would you do if you heard of a plan to open a hostel for drug addicts or ex-prisoners in your road? People are often frightened-for their children, the old people, the value of their property-but at the same time admit that these people have got to live somewhere.
In 'A Matter of Conscience,' Man Alive looks at three such places which have become part of that age-old argument 'Yes - but not here.'
