In this episode we discuss various events in the news including questions over the Lucy Letby case, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the new Labour government, the Olympic opening ceremony and the Keswick Convention. We then focus on recent unrest in a number of British towns and cities triggered by on-going issues around immigration, crime, attacks and most recently the horrific murder of three little girls in Southport. We consider the actions of the police, the authorities and the dangers of ignoring or belittling legitimate concerns. We end with some reflections on these difficult but important issues from a Christian perspective, and a reading from Joshua 1:7-9.
