In the last year, a child has been arrested almost every week by counter-terrorism police. That's a record - but why is this happening? And who is trying to radicalise these children? In this special episode, Andy speaks exclusively to an undercover intelligence officer to find out more about this shocking rise in minors being held on terror charges.
Neil gives his reaction to the revelation that kids as young as 11 have been accused of these crimes - and explains why the severity of the extreme right-wing threat is growing compared to when he was running counter-terrorism policing. Andy and Neil also reveal why Russia and other hostile states are behind many of the attempts to spread this hateful, terrorist material online.
Later, they discuss whether the government should u-turn on its decision to proscribe Palestine Action after the group's latest protest led to yet another record number of arrests. And finally: were the police too heavy-handed when they arrested comedy writer Graham Linehan last week? And what of Nigel Farage claiming the UK is becoming like North Korea?
