Sarah and Andrew discuss the chaos on the streets of Britain, the hypocrisy of the rioters and looters and why Farage, Tate and Robinson should not only be ashamed, they should be held accountable for their stirring of hatred and skewing of the facts. This isn’t the first time - and it won’t be the last - but Starmer’s first real test as PM has left Andrew and Sarah with serious questions. Oh, and they both watch the pole vaulter Olympic clip about 6million times, for research you understand.

12: Our Rudderless, Angry Britain

What's the Big Idea? Finally, Sarah Vine (once memorably described as being ‘like and loathed in equal measure, divisive, but never indecisive’) and Peter Hitchens (a man whose writing a critic was called to compare to a Guardsman’s boot: ‘as highly polished and potentially lethal’) meet once a week to look at the world and mutter, alas…&nbsp;Acclaimed columnist and journalist Sarah Vine and best-selling author and broadcaster Peter Hitchens discuss and dissect social, economic, and pop cultural flotsam and jetsam that have risen out of the dark waters of that week’s news.&nbsp; Taking one big idea each episode and pulling it apart with élan, imagine Vine and Hitchens respective columns brought to life and then skewered, scoffed at, debated, and given the full weight of Vine and Hitchens impenetrable gaze. Though an accord might not always be reached, it’s the journey that matters.&nbsp; Whether it’s the tech bros gone rogue – Meta tearing up its own rule book on fact checking, Musk attempting to influence governmental policy, or the knotty subject on society’s ever-increasing reliance on anti-depressants to treat what might just be the modern malaise and not depression at all. Or, evil, nature or nurture? Does evil actually exist or is it an idea that hangs over us, or do we just sometime embody it and the actions themselves are evil, not the individual?&nbsp;All this and more are to be pored over, one towering topic each week discussed with humour, insight, and real understanding.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
