Why Britain's Problems Are Bigger Than You Think

This week Colin argues Britain isn’t just broken, but “bats**t”. He points to a summer of surreal own-goals, including a farming minister who felt faint at raw meat, the Greens wanting to strip police of their tasers and shut all prisons, and national alerts about barbecue safety - all amid record Channel crossings. That lunacy, he says, found its most farcical expression in a Home Office booklet for new migrants explaining rape and that men and women are “equal”. Colin asks why a daily drumbeat of sexual assaults, so shocking in their depravity, barely makes front-page news anymore. Confronting these hard questions, he reaches a startling conclusion about how we got here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Confronting these hard questions, he reaches a startling conclusion about how we got here.
