As tensions continue to escalate between Israel and Iran, there are mixed opinions regarding whether Israel should target Iran's nuclear facilities. President Biden urges Israel to not go after these systems while former President Trump claims they are the first thing that should be targeted. Martha sits down with former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to discuss the thought process behind both of these view points, the political dynamics between the U.S., the U.K., and Israel as they stand against mutual adversaries, and how he feels about the current British government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Crisis What Crisis?

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 27, 2023 70:35


If you pitched the story we discuss in this episode as a fictional film script you'd be laughed out of the room … so shocking, so unlikely is this tale of crisis.In 2005 Steve Gallant was convicted of the brutal revenge murder of a man he claimed had attacked his then girlfriend. After being sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum 17-year term, Steve made a vow to never again use violence. He kept that vow for 14 and a half years until, on November 29th 2019, he was allowed out on day release for the first time to attend an educational event at Fishmonger's Hall near London Bridge. On that day Usman Khan, a former prisoner, unleashed terror – killing two young graduates Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones. Steve, along with two others, confronted Khan, who was wearing what turned out to be a fake suicide vest, and chased him out of the building, bizarrely using huge Narwhal tusks and a fire extinguisher. With no concern for their own safety, they took him down before armed police then ended his life.The reaction to Steve's incredible bravery was mixed. For some, including then PM Boris Johnson, he was lauded as a hero. But for others it raised questions about his rehabilitation … about whether his reactions on that day demonstrated a continued willingness to use violence.Steve was eventually awarded the Queen's Medal for Gallantry and granted a Royal Prerogative of Mercy, reducing his minimum term by 10 months. He details his time in prison, essentially a story of change in the face of daily crisis, in his compelling new book The Road To London Bridge. And in this conversation we explore his journey – from a difficult and violent childhood, through the shame of his appalling crime, his determination to change as he navigated his way through the prison system, to that day of truly astounding, instinctive bravery.This is a crisis conversation unlike any we have had. My thanks to Steve for joining us.Steve's Crisis Comforts 1. Perspective – Knowing what you have and understanding there is always someone worse off than you.2.

It's time for episode 56 of the road.cc Podcast. Last weekend, just in case you were doing your best to avoid the news, Rishi Sunak promised the UK's motorists that he was “on their side”, as the Prime Minister ordered a review of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in England. The review comes as the debate over green active travel policies continues to sharpen in the wake of the Conservative Party's win at the recent Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election (called following the departure of the famously active travel-friendly PM Boris Johnson), a narrow victory credited to the Tory opposition to Labour mayor Sadiq Khan's plans to extend London's Ultra-Low Emission Zone. Sunak's opposition to ULEZ and LTNs, the latest strategic manoeuvre in the pre-general election battleground, isn't the only move away from the green active travel policies held by his party in recent years, with the Prime Minister also recently hinting at plans to push back the date that sales of new petrol and diesel-powered cars will be banned, while funding for cycling infrastructure – including the new government body Active Travel England – has also taken a hit during his tenure in charge.In the second part of the latest episode of the road.cc Podcast, Jack, Simon, and Ryan sit round the table to discuss what Sunak's latest pro-driver pledges mean for the next general election, how they represent a shift away from past Conservative policy on cycling, active travel, and climate change (led by Johnson), and what impact they could have on the future landscape of cycling in the UK. Before we get to all that political chicanery, Ryan chats with Bristol couple Anna and Mark Cordle, who recently made the headlines after they set up a parking space for their family cargo bike outside their home – which, a year after it was installed, has been the subject of threats by the local council to remove it… because it was taking up a car parking space.In a really interesting discussion which touches on the differing perceptions and treatment of people who ride bikes to get around compared to those who use cars, Anna and Mark detail the reasons why they needed the space for their young family, how it was greeted by their neighbours, their current struggle against the council, and why planter-based bike parking spaces may provide an organic way forward for active travel in the UK's cities.

The final episode of Season 1 of AYBSA/Grace & Favour! (But we still have Season 2 to go). We had an unauthorized travel expense from official Research Unpaid Intern J.J. (but he sends us a report from LONDON anyway). An AYBS tattoo in “The Theatre of the Mind”!? Superfan Patrick suggests that Mollie Sugden as Mrs. Slocombe sounded snooty in the original series but not as much in AYBS-Again. Why? Mr. Jeff sings! Wayne's World and Cops on 90's TV. The gayest moment on the podcast ever! “A trice” - Professor Jeff explains that refers to an old fashioned type of pully. “In a trice” = “in a jiffy”. Mrs. Slocombe reconciders delivering the breakfast tray to handsy Mr. Webster in a throw-back joke. Mr. Conklyn wants Mr. Humphry's help in the bath. The Americans don't have vitality, personality, or youth. “One For My Baby” sung by Bette Midler as the final act for Johnny Carson's “The Tonight Show” on American TV. “Sausage” = “sausage and mash” = Cockney rhyming slang = “cash”. Mr. Humphries milks Bessie the milk cow. Where is the Valley of the Queens?! Tiddles is a cougar, apparently. Harrods delivers to Northern Mississippi! The staff create a church service with Slocombe pumping the organ (and the blacksmith). The dentures are missing! The “Benny Hill” song played during PM Boris Johnson's resignation speech. Mavis is willing for a shilling?! The Harvest Dance! Mavis is the “caller” just like in American Square Dancing (which might have been evolved from Somerset Harvest Dances in England?) Capt. Peacock plays an apple tree from “The Wizard of Oz”. The “Somerset” farmer costumes in “Roots” look the same as in the Harvest Dance in this episode!

Suzi talks to Dean of Berkeley School of Law Erwin Chemerinsky about the just completed Supreme Court term, handing down decisions that overturned vast areas of law. The Court's decisions ignored settled law and took away a Constitutional right in the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade. Chemerinsky argues that this court did not follow a judicial methodology, legal principles, or precedents: instead, a conservative majority on the court is making the Republican Party platform Constitutional law. We get Erwin's analysis and ask what can be done.Turning to the UK, Suzi talks to Tariq Ali about the saga of PM Boris Johnson's resignation—brought down by Tory ministers who decided Johnson's personality and unethical conduct had gotten in the way of his politics, which they mostly support. Tariq Ali says that the Tories have been ruthless in dumping Prime Ministers who might lose them the next election, like Thatcher, May, and now Johnson – but Labour is only ruthless in removing a Leader who poses a threat to the extreme center. Under Keir Starmer, Labour has not challenged Johnson's political record, or presented an attractive alternative to the Tories, so Boris Johnson is going, but Britain is still stuck with the same rightwing politics. We get Tariq's view. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
