About this episode

Ian Collins discusses the implications of the Southampton protest and the concept of two-tier policing in the UK.

What does justice for Henry Nowak look like? Ian Collins examines the Southampton protest near the home of the 18-year-old's killer, where eleven police officers were injured, and asks what the unrest reveals about public anger, policing and community safety. Former policing minister Damian Green and former government political violence adviser Lord Walney discuss Keir Starmer’s response to Nigel Farage’s claim that the UK has a “two-tier policing” system and what the row means for law and order, protest policing and political debate in Britain. Meanwhile, it's reported families would have to reduce meat and dairy consumption in order to meet climate targets set by Ed Miliband. Claire Ogley, head of campaigns, policy and research at The Vegan Society, shares her view on veganism, food policy, climate change and the impact of diet on the environment. Hosted on Acast.
