France is burning – could Britain be next? And the truth about Sally Rooney's ‘ban’ - Quite right!

Om avsnittet

France is burning. Over the weekend, students protesting about school conditions were joined by rural voters angry at fuel prices and a violent hard-left fringe. Michael and Maddie ask whether Britain should be worried. Do the same fault lines run through our own society, and is the Burnham government doing anything about them? They also discuss what Emmanuel Macron will be remembered for, and whether anyone can stop Marine Le Pen.

Also: Sally Rooney’s books are leaving British shelves over her support for Palestine Action. Is this censorship, or performance art?
