    R v Bowden (1999) and other cases around indecent images

    R v Bowden (1999) and other cases around indecent images

    Earlier this month Tom Binns, a comedian whom both Chris and Alex know, admitted in court to five counts of "Making" and one count of "possessing" indecent images of children.
    Whar exactly does "Making" indecent images of children mean? What is the case law surrounding this topic? How has the law developed in recent years? What possible defences are there to the charges?
     
    Also, we have new equipment and Chris sounds ok but Alex sounds like he's underwater (lucky he doesn't speak much in this ep).

    Part 2 Asylum and the CPS (no, not that CPS)

    Just what disingenuous, tiresome, underhanded bollocks are the Home Office up to now?

    Part 1 Asylum: What is a refugee/ person seeking asylum?

    What is a refugee? When is a terrorist not a terrorist? Is the Home Secretary to blame for a recent terrorist attack which led to a man's death?

    Throwing Soup at Sunflowers/ footballer granted bail

    Throwing Soup at Sunflowers/ footballer granted bail

    Is this Kehoe's final episode before we get in a younger, sexier, woman-ier replacement in? I hope so.
    In the meantime he looks at the soup throwing Criminal Damage case from the news this week. What is the charge, what are the possible please and defences and what will the likely penalty be?
     
    Plus,  the also topical discussion around a famous footballer being granted bail. What does this mean?

    Unlawful Acts Manslaughter Part Two

    Unlawful Acts Manslaughter Part Two

    Kehoe finishes what he started (weeks ago). He did forget his mic though so let's not get too carried away.

    Police arrest heckler in Scotland and protester with blank paper in London

    Police arrest heckler in Scotland and protester with blank paper in London

    Heckler in Scotland arrested as Queen's funeral car passes. Man in London arrested for holding up a blank piece of paper 'In case' he wrote something with an anti-monarchy message on it. 
    Are we finally living in a right-wing/ dystopian/ fascist dictatorship? Did tthe above events actually even happen?
    Plus, have we, as a Nation, lost our collective minds?
