On this week’s episode, Sarah and Peter are asking why new trials for puberty blocking drugs in children have been announced after a government decided to ban it last year? And they’d really like to know why David Lammy would like to take our juries away from certain cases after once tweeting that the jury was the one of the pillars of our judicial system.
Plus, which countries did Covid well? Why did the former BBC DG go around Sarah’s house once to ask about the future of the corporation and then totally ignore her advice? And would either consider turning vegetarian? You can probably guess the answer to that one.
On our reading and watch list this week:
· 12 Angry Men – Dir: Sidney Lumet
· Rumpole Of The Bailey – John Mortimer
· The Abolition Of Liberty – Peter Hitchens
