Synopsis
Jeremy discusses buying a place at university, the international 'slut walking' protests, the 1981 riots in Brixton, Toxteth and Moss Side and weddings at the Houses of Parliament.
Buying A University Place
Should you be able to buy a place at university?
The government may allow extra places for people who bid for them, but is that fair?
'Slut Walk' Protest
A policeman in Canada advises women not to dress ‘like sluts’ and causes international protest.
Here women are taking up so-called ‘slut walking.’
The Riots of 1981
After one o'clock, a special programme looks back thirty years at the riots in Brixton, Toxteth and Moss Side.
Which side were you on?
Also, we play all the best music from 1981.
Parliament As A Wedding Venue
Would you get married in the Houses of Parliament?
It's been considered, but would MP's give the go-ahead for you or me to get married in what has become their personal club?
