In this episode, I feature stories relating to the Asia Bibi case, poppies, policing and childhood.
Asia Bibi, a farm labourer from Pakistan, was accused of insulting and blaspheming against the Prophet Mohammad. She faced the death sentence but the decision was overturned and now she seeks asylum. I talk about religion and why it's an exercise in limitation.
Poppies are being sold and worn by some and not by others. This always causes uproar. James McClean of Stoke City Football Club and ITV news reporter Charlene White have faced criticism for not wearing poppies, even though they have their own reasons why.
Political correctness features once again! Policing in the UK now has *900* hate crime officers who could instead be catching criminals. I talk about how this plays into the wider agenda for society.
Childhood is being increasingly medicated against. Many children nowadays don't have a traditional childhood. We are constantly seeing childhood being eroded.
