Week According To. . . Leilani Dowding

In this episode, I discuss pressing societal issues with Leilani Dowding, focusing on the complexities of free speech and a concerning two-tier justice system highlighted by a Labour councillor's acquittal. We shift to the immigration crisis, examining rising crime rates linked to asylum seekers and the silenced voices of community members like Lubna Zaidi. Leilani stresses the urgent need to address disparities between local workers and newcomers while critiquing ineffective government crime prevention strategies. We also address the challenges faced by a young predator catcher banned from Roblox, illustrating gaps in child protection. Our conversation serves as a call to reevaluate how we engage with these critical issues. Follow Leilani on 𝕏   x.com/LeilaniDowding @LeilaniDowding Connect with Hearts of Oak. . .
