Is Nigel Farage exploiting Henry Nowak’s murder?

About this episode

The episode discusses Nigel Farage's comments on the murder of Henry Nowak and the implications for Nicola Sturgeon's political legacy.

"Pure cold rage": Will Nigel Farage regret his intervention over the murder of Henry Nowak? Beth, Ruth and Harriet discuss whether Farage is pandering to the far right, or if he has a point about "two-tier policing" in Britain. And, as Nicola Sturgeon attempts to distance herself from her estranged husband Peter Murrell – Ruth asks if her legacy is now forever tarnished. Nicola Sturgeon has said she was “completely cleared and exonerated” by police and that she had been “misled” and “deceived” by Murrell.

We are happy to clarify that initiated Sikh women, like initiated Sikh men, are required to wear a kirpan as part of the religion. Whether a Sikh carries a kirpan depends on their initiation status and not on gender. And if you didn't know, you can also watch Beth, Ruth, and Harriet on YouTube.
