Show Notes
The fallout from the riots continues, with Met Police Commissioner, Mark Rowley responding badly to a question on two-tier policing. Marina and Jemma discuss how this term came about and why the hell Elon Musk is adding to its use with his inevitably viral tweet: #TwoTierKier. Give the state of his X platform and what does/doesn't constitute a violation, he may want to look closer to home...
Then it's onto Tommy Robinson, who has been unable to understand the lack of sympathy after his hotel location was doxxed by the Daily Mail. Worry not, some wonderful people on social were very quick to let him know...
Jemma and Marina touch upon the heartbreaking turned heartwarming stories of Mohammad and Brendan who had their business and car destroyed, and the incredible power of the human spirit.
Speaking of which, the Olympics continues to dazzle, with a certain pole vaulter capturing the attention of many, and Kamala Harris may have picked herself the most fabulous running mate with an impressive track record and a sense of humour to boot...
