humiliation

It took Angela 20 years to go back for her second test because she "couldn't face that humiliation again".

In the words of those who knew her, Mrs Miles-Bramwell wanted to "put an end to the shame, guilt, judgement and humiliation faced by those struggling with their weight in 1960s England".

"It was total humiliation from the very beginning. Zelensky was brave enough to not use an interpreter. He was brave enough to answer all questions truly," she says.

As a result of Beverley’s actions, the lawsuit states, the women suffered injuries and damages that include physical pain and suffering, emotional and mental distress, humiliation, anguish, medical expenses and lost work hours/wages.

In an unprecedented humiliation, MI5 has now issued an "unreserved apology" to the BBC and all three courts, describing what happened as a "serious error" and saying "MI5 takes full responsibility".
