Summary: <p>Another unscripted, searching, insightful chat, between hosts Stuart and William. A very real discussion, as they examine another question, from Alan, a listener in Northway, Oxford, England.</p> <p>"Given the flammable conditions of societal and planetary collapse in a climate crisis, the divide and rule culture wars of Donald Trump in the USA, and Priti Patel in England, can never end well, ever, or can it?</p> <p>Abuse of power to threaten peaceful protesters with 10 year jail sentences, when violent protesters getting only 10 years too, sends an inconsistent message, potentially.</p> <p>Bringing in new legislation in the UK that says police have the power to arrest anyone who's protesting, (even those just making protest banners) who may cause inconvenience to anyone, puts the police in tough situation. They're the ones having to interpret the ambiguous term, 'inconvenience', set by the government.</p> <p>This looks like the government inflaming an already volatile situation, and blaming the police if it goes arse over tit. Should the new policing act be revised again, with a new viewpoint of not seeing it as an us and them situation, but from all party point of view?</p> <p>We all face the climate crisis and societal breakdown together".</p> <p>Do you have a question you'd like Stuart and William to examine, discuss or debate?
