Ministers spend £2million on 'spin' TV documentaries
'Ministers were plunged into a damaging new 'spin' row last night after it emerged they have lavished almost £2million of taxpayers' money on television documentaries.
The two most controversial broadcasts - both funded by the Home Office - raise the profiles of Police Community Support Officers and immigration staff.
Both Pcsos, dubbed 'plastic police' by critics, and immigration officials have come under fire in recent years and are in need of positive coverage.
The £400,000 programme about immigration staff, Border Force, has yet to be broadcast by Sky One.'
