[Stat Brother]

For those that like seriously thought provoking documentaries, this is supposedly one of the best, in recent years.

Thanks [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION]. Will look at that later.

 

[The Stout Yeoman]

Interesting list of Executive Producers Danny Glover, John Legend and Brad Pitt

 

[Meade's Ball]

Yup already got myself lined up for that.

 

[Stat Brother]

I listened to an interview with Eugene Jarecki, last week.

The fella does have an agenda which is only broadly alluded to in the write up.
It's certainly an eye brow raiser, but he's somewhat committed to it, making it very believable, from his perspective.

 

[Rich Suvner]

Great shout thanks

 

[Addick]

Thx for the heads up on this. It would have completely passed me by

 

[Nibble]

Looks good, thank you.

 

[Beach Hut]

Good call Stat

 

[Stat Brother]

I've just set the video.

I can see myself telling everybody else, then missing it, myself

 

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

Sounds interesting, would have missed this. Cheers statto.

Thanks for the reminder - made a mental note to watch this after hearing the excellent interview on Richard Bacon.

I'd forgotten, obviously.

Yeah that's the same interview I alluded too earlier, following on from your recommendation to download the podcast.




(oh and within my sad little year, I became a podcast superhero!)

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

45 million arrests

45 million arrests

I can't remember (I wouldn't want to guesstimate) some of the stat's Eugene gave in the interview, but if you think that's shocking ...

 

[Beach Hut]

This is very shocking and so sad, lives wasted for no reason bar the fact people were born at the wrong time and in the wrong place.

 

[n1 gull]

excellent programme. those prisons look proper scary

Shocking statistics, America locks more of its citizens up than any other nation, spends trillions of dollars on policing the "war on drugs" and drug use has remained the same for generations.
I'm not sure what, but something's got to change in drugs policy in America and this country.

Maybe they need more guns.
