The UK is in dark times. I discuss 6 ways the UK seems to be willfully harming children and failing them on a horrific scale. It's nothing short of a moral crisis.

I don't speak much about my own case on the show as this podcast is about wider issues and other people's stories. It's about them not me. Prior to episode 69, I had only ever done one episode on it before (episode 28).

However, lots of people have asked and I feel the case is public interest and I fear for my safety so this episode is an update.

Rather than just have me ramble on, Brent Bowlby kindly agree...

This episode is for those new to the podcast. 

Every 10 episodes we have a clips episode. They are good but quite long so today is slightly different in that we cover episodes 31-60 in quick-fire soundbites. 

This gives a shorter format for anyone just discovering the podcast, so they can quickly hear parts from all the shows and choose which episodes they want to listen to in full.

This episode is a compilation of clips but is not exactly a ‘best of’ as that would differ from listener to listener. The episode is for regular ...
