On this week’s episode, Peter and Sarah Welcome are asking why is Sir Kier Starmer choosing not to condemn marriage between first cousins in some cultures? And what it might take for the Iranian people to be heard as civil unrest and revolution spread throughout the country? 

Plus, why America is ruining the English language, the idea that Russia is a military world power is complete piffle, Trump’s Golden Fleet, Heated Rivalry (no, really) and the food that neither Peter or Sarah will eat. 

On our reading and watch list this week: 

·               Rules For Radicals – Saul Alinsky

·               The White Cliffs - Alice Duer Miller

·               Dictionary Of Modern American Usage – Bryan A. Garner
