Synopsis
Jeremy discusses the suitability of sending children on long haul coach trips at night, boxers brawling, people who can remember suffering from polio and hugging your children.
LONG DISTANCE COACH TRIPS
Following the crash in northern France of the coach returning children from a ski trip, we talk to someone that says it’s time to stop the transportation of children on long distance coach trips at night.
POLIO
India says it’s eradicated polio. We did the same a generation ago, but are you someone who can remember the terrible disease? Maybe you even suffered from it yourself?
BOXING BRAWL
The brawl between the two heavyweight boxers has been said to shame the sport of boxing. But hang on a minute, wasn’t your reaction : ‘I thought boxing was about being violent?’
HUGGING
John Prescott regrets that he’s unable to hug his sons. Are you somebody who wished your dad had hugged you?
