About this episode

The episode discusses the political implications of the murder of Henry Nowak and the call for public rage by Nigel Farage, featuring guest Christabel Cooper.

The murder of Henry Nowak has raised a great many questions because of the terrible way Henry was treated by police as he lay dying. Henry's family have responded with remarkable dignity to this dreadful affair but the same cannot be said of elements of the political class. Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou look more closely at the politics of rage and, in particular, Nigel Farage's call for public 'rage' and his history of (apparently) trying to whip up anger. They are joined by Christabel Cooper, Director of Research at ThinkLabour and Visiting Fellow at King's College London. Plus, it's the debut of a brand new feature ... God! Less America! Because the US is such a bizarre place these days, some of the maddest stuff goes unreported.
