The latest Double Jeopardy podcast, examining the reason why the prosecution against the two gentleman accused of passing sensitive information to the People’s Republic of China was withdrawn, is of special interest to me living, as I do, in Hong Kong China. It reveals the inherent prejudice within the English population and in particular the politicians to China. I hope that a wide audience listens to the discussion. It may expel some prejudice. it’s nice to have Double Jeopardy, a thoughtful a... more
I’m not a legal professional but I love this show. Fascinating insight into the interplay between law and politics. Ken and Tim are always thoughtful and forthright. Never miss an episode.
The Ed Miliband speech ripped me in to an immediate five star review. It’s a joy to hear these two eminent lawyers speak about law and politics. Listen and you will learn about relevant legal and political issues in a way that is rare but real. I am a lawyer and I learn so much.
