Quite right!: ‘He is evil’ – why the Southport killer wasn’t stopped

About this episode

The episode discusses the Southport inquiry and the failures of British institutions in preventing known threats.

To hear this week's episode in full, search 'Quite right!' wherever you are listening now. This week: the Southport inquiry and a deeper question about why Britain’s institutions keep failing to act. After a damning report into the killings revealed that Axel Rudakubana was ‘known to authorities’, Michael and Madeline ask how so many warning signs were missed. Did a fear of getting things wrong – or being accused of racism – stop professionals from intervening?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
