Episode Are criminal gangs fuelling riots in France?
Protests across France have turned into riots in many parts of the country in recent weeks. Thousands of people have been arrested and more unrest is expected this weekend. So are organised criminal gangs behind this outbreak in looting, arson and attacks on police? Andy & Neil discuss how likely it is that they are involved - and whether Putin's Russia could also be to blame for fanning the flames of the recent protests.
They also look at the recent undercover investigation into Reform UK by ITV. The party has reported the broadcaster to police over the expose: so is this a legitimate complaint or a waste of police time? And could detectives even investigate Reform politicians over some of the racist language shown in the documentary?
Andy & Neil also discuss the controversial CPS murder prosecution of NX121 over the killing of Chris Kaba, and Neil reveals the best and worst police forces he's worked with around the world...
