Summary

Four Palestine Action activists have just been convicted of serious criminal offences, including criminal damage and GBH. Will this start to change public perceptions of the proscribed group? Will ordinary people look on them differently in light of this news? Andy & Neil break down what impact these convictions could have and discuss whether the government should have waited until now to ban Palestine Action.

They also explain how long the potential sentences Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson could face, if they were to be found guilty of Misconduct in Public Office. For now, both men deny any wrongdoing and no charges have been brought.

Andy & Neil also reveal how they don't allow themselves to get emotional even when covering or responding to serious crimes and terror attacks, plus they break down why senior police officers often sound like politicians when they speak in public.
