Jam Tomorrow – Episode 4 – April 20th 2010

Paul Richards, Katharine Hibbert, Joe Kassman-Tod and guests discuss politicians’ promises and the crucial
issues driving the 2010 election campaigns.
Today the subject is housing – and the lack thereof. With 4.5 million people on waiting lists for social housing, house prices now around 7.5 times average earnings and almost a million empty homes, something seems to have gone more than a
bit wrong. The Green Party’s Jenny Jones, Labour’s Jon Cruddas and Katy John from PricedOut, the campaign for affordable housing, tell us how they’d sort it out.

The Steve Parry Show: Totally Biased – April 13th 2010

In the second of his totally biased election specials Steve takes his Tory bashing up a gear as he welcomes barrister turned high church Tory comedian Andrew Watts. As Steve says, “Andrew is very funny but his political opinions are vile filth that must be stamped out”. Steve did not give Watts a right to reply. Listen to them lock horns tonight at 21:00. Writer David Tuck will be taking the role of referee and Ed Crasnick will be taking the role of neurotic jewish comedian live on the phone.

Also, even though totally biased is the name of an american leftie blog I think I might use it too. what do you think? do you think it is out of bounds? should I just plough on?

April 16th 2010

A dissection of what the upcoming general election means for Human Rights in the UK.

With the persistent focus on ‘fairness’, ‘efficiency’ and ‘helicopters’, this show applies a different lens. We will look at what this election means for a very real issue – what will the upcoming election mean for Human Rights in the UK?

With the major parties pledging to either strengthen, retain and repeal British human rights protections, this is our chance to discuss the real difference between conflicting viewpoints.

Joining us in the studio we have legendary political activist, Peter Tatchell, and Anita Coles from civil liberties organisation, Liberty. We also have contributions from leading human rights academic Professor Conor Gearty of the LSE and Matrix Chambers, and Katie Ghose, Director of the British Institute of Human Rights.

Presented by K. Biswas and Rys Farthing
