Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The programme opened with discussion of the government's early release scheme, focusing on Andy Burnham's efforts to prevent the release of PC Andrew Harper's killers. It noted that all UK police chiefs had written to Burnham demanding he use every lawful option to keep them in prison, and that probation staff had voted to strike, which could halt the scheme. The discussion also covered the Sentencing Act and the dilemma of blanket releases.
The next segment covered migrant housing, reporting that the Home Office had closed 13 more asylum hotels, bringing the total to 44, and was expanding use of military bases. It also covered Andy Burnham's comments that wealthier areas must take more migrants, and a case involving a seven-year-old boy from Piddington who had written to him. Then the programme turned to the upcoming solar eclipse, with advice on safety glasses and the event's rarity. Finally, it reported on plans by Sefton Council to introduce dynamic pricing for public toilets, and mentioned a British land speed record set by JCB in Utah with a hydrogen car reaching 406 mph.

who wronged them, people who committed crimes against them, are going to end up being released. But these two are really just the absolute icing on the cake of horrific individuals that do not deserve to, I wouldn't have them leave prison ever. I mean, I don't know how they got away with manslaughter, but they did. And now the idea that they would be

with the sun shining directly at you. A progressive event, just made it left wing. Yeah, so this is it then. It is a mass warning to people to not be so thick that you shouldn't stare at the sun for an hour. Yeah, basically it's stupid. It's for the same people who need to read that there might be nuts inside a bag of peanuts.

And because it won't hurt, there's no pain warning. Like you might normally get looking at the sun, you go, ah, well, that's no, that doesn't happen.

And because it won't hurt, there's no pain warning. Like you might normally get looking at the sun, you go, ah, well, that's no, that doesn't happen. The retina does not have pain receptors. So you just burn your eye cells and cause permanent blind spots. Who remembers the last eclipse? I do. And the reason why I remember it is because I was-
