Gisele Pelicot and Performative Policing

On this week’s episode, Sarah is asking if the horrendous case of Gisele Pelicot is more than just an isolated incident and Peter wants to know why our boys in blue have settled on performative policing. Plus, why has it taken Sarah over a year to realise she’s been wearing her contact lenses in the wrong eyes? The parlous state of children’s fiction in the modern age and why Peter will be getting a motorbike (and leather biker jacket) as soon as he reaches eighty. On our reading and watch list this week:  ·               A Hymn to Life: Shame Has To Change Sides - Gisele Pelicot·               Nineteen Eighty-Four – George Orwell·               The Bonfire Of The Vanities – Tom Wolfe·               Never Trust Dragons – Sheila K.
