Episode Details

“The phrase ‘unintended consequences’ rarely passes the lips of our most senior lawyers, judges, or academics.

Like many in the professional classes, lawyers have become cheerleaders for most fashionable progressive causes, abandoning the caution and prudence that once defined the discipline.

Worse, they have become enforcers - shutting down dissenting voices inside and outside the profession”.

Damning words from retired barrister Louise Clegg.

We cover a multitude of issues in a revealing interview; one of which may surprise you.

We take a look at other matters, including climate change. No, the science is not settled.

And we check into The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
