In This Episode
In this week’s Q&A: should Britain follow Giorgia Meloni and ban the burqa in schools? Michael says that head teachers should set uniform policy free of pressure from outside the school gates – but would he go as far as Reform’s proposed ban on face coverings in public? Maddie asks why progressive feminists have so little to say on the subject.
Also this week: the BBC has pulled 11 Mitchell and Webb sketches from iPlayer, but were they right to? Michael and Maddie discuss chronological snobbery, disclaimers on films – and Michael asks whether the corporation will come for Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation as well.
Plus: Michael plays Prime Minister in Sky’s The War Game. Could Britain withstand a Russian attack, and how many young people would sign up to fight?
