34: Crime Statistics, Blackpool Children's Homes and Other Failings

A bit of a mixed bag in this episode. Nazir and Mark tackle subjects including the latest crime statistics which show that the police are failing to tackle, or even respond to, certain crimes such as burglaries and theft. They look at the awful situation surrounding local authorities sending children in care  to stay in homes hundreds of miles away in Blackpool, and the risks that those children are then exposed to.  Plus a lot more - even the cost of living crisis comes under close scrutiny with a warning from Mark and Nazir that it could lead to civil unrest if something isn't done about it very soon.
