Summary: Welcome back! Thanks for choosing us for yer podcast pleasure... In this production, we look at a number of key breaking stories, including the revelation that the UK government laid siege to the offices of "The Guardian" newspaper, and destroyed their hard drives (a stupid and fruitless act on the part of the government). We look at what reporter Glenn Greenwald has said about the nine-hour detention of his partner at Heathrow Airport, and Furb and Gard study the malicious effects of professional licensing laws. That, and commentary about addiction, and a look at one of the excellent essays on licensing that is offered in Dr. Mary Ruwart's book "Healing Our World in An Age of Aggression" - Lots of good stats and citations of books in this when we offer our info on licensing... We hope you like it! The show features music by The Psychedelic Furs "Entertain Me", some transitional cuts by Agent Provocateur, The Demons, "Democracy" by The Damned, a snippet from Killing Joke, some comedy by the Onion, Grinderman "Depth Charge Ethel", and the full tube of "Red Tape" by Agent Provocateur (the lead singer of which is Malcolm McLaren's son).
