Synopsis
Jeremy discusses getting a tax break for employing domestic help, whether shyness is selfish, quantitative easing and someone who spent a lot of time with Abu Qatada.
EMPLOYING DOMESTIC HELP
Prime Minister David Cameron is interested in an idea which will give you a tax break for employing domestic help.
SHYNESS
A psychiatrist manual says that shyness is a mental illness. You may be paralysed by shyness but we talk to someone who says that shy people are just being selfish.
QUANTITATIVE EASING
Printing free money or quantitative easing… What is it? How does it work? And is it good for us?
ABU QATADA
Finally, we meet the man who spent many an evening with the extremist preacher Abu Qatada. He says he found him friendly, funny and he even told racy jokes.
