Description
This week James has a good walk in Shropshire spoiled by the "bird-blending, bat-chomping eco-crucifixes" and Toby debates animal "rights" around the dinner table because of the deaths of three horses at this past weekend's Grand National. ("Save the Sheep!") That leads us to the name change of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the scandal at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the shocking suicide of a 19-year old Greenpeace activist from Walthamstow who became inconsolable by the prospect of climate change. We also pay tribute to Nigel Lawson, Mrs. Thatcher's Chancellor of the Exchequer who died 3 April, aged 91. In Culture Corner, we let the blocks fall where they may with Tetris (AppleTV+) and Seven Kings Must Die (Netflix.) Opening sound this week is James Evans, Member of the Senedd for Brecon and Radnorshire courtesy of GBNews.
