17th Nov 2017: Burma and the G-Word
The United Nations has described the current crisis in Burma as a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing” – but neither they nor any of the world’s major governments are prepared to use the word “genocide” in describing the situation. This week we ask why not, and whether the world is doing enough about this ongoing human tragedy. Plus, with allegations of racism by a Labour MP being denied by major party figures, is it fair to say that the left thinks it has a monopoly on morality? All of that plus the latest on Brexit and a Budget preview, coming up on the Update The State podcast.
