Apple Podcasts1Stevoc1872United Kingdom2 months ago - One of the best
This combination of hosts is excellent. It’s nice to find a cop who was genuinely trying to do the right thing. My experience of cops is very different!
Apple Podcasts5jerrymarksUnited Kingdom2 months ago - A tale of 2 halves
Neil Basu is excellent. Very interesting insight and perspective. The other presenter is just so lightweight. Spoils an otherwise excellent series.

These guys reckon there’s no tier policing in the UK when it’s so blatantly evident. Govt has spent $millions training cops re how to handle differing ethnics. M/while, they are throwing English Caucasians in gaol for complaining on social media. You two guys are part of the problem. Once a bad cop always a bad cop.
