Why aren’t we hearing more about controversial new UK laws in the media?
The ladies discuss the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill which could restrict the right to protest in the UK during the pandemic and beyond, and the Covert Human Intelligence Sources Bill which would allow undercover officers to commit serious crimes, such as murder, sexual assault and torture, to “blend in” with criminals and avoid blowing their cover, and ask whether the UK government is justified in introducing these Bills to keep us safe or if they are robbing us of our rights and allowing terrible crimes to be commited lawfully. Guest starring Fairyqueen Tatiana and Monah.
