CSI: Westminster

<p>Which flavour of police overreach do you like least: COVID regulations if you’re on the right, or the Police Bill if you’re centre-left? Special guest <strong>Emily Benn</strong> joins us to disentangle the worsening mess of civil rights under this government. And with <em>Line Of Duty</em> returning as British policing is in the spotlight as seldom before, do we need a conversation about “<strong>Copaganda</strong>” entertainment in the UK, as America had over George Floyd? Plus: what <strong>Joe Biden</strong>’s New Deal really means.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><ul><li><em>“The fact that this is an emergency isn’t an excuse for poor legislation and poor scrutiny.”</em><strong><em> – Emily Benn</em></strong></li><li><em>“Biden is ripping up an economic consensus that has stood for 40 years since Reagan.” </em><strong><em>– Miatta Fahnbulleh</em></strong></li><li><em>“I don’t know what Centrist is supposed to mean, apart from claiming that someone is boring and lacks ideas…&nbsp;and that’s obviously rubbish.”</em><strong><em> – Emily Benn</em></strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p><em>Presented and produced by Dorian Lynskey with Miatta Fahnbulleh and Naomi Smith.
