Description

Tim Montgomerie is joined by Jenni Russell, Oliver Kamm and Roger Boyes.Jenni Russell agrees in the principles of banning smoking in cars where children are present, after MPs voted in the law this week, however, will it end up - in practice - as yet another pointless and unenforceable law?Oliver Kamm states that 'The Swiss vote to curb EU immigration is a depressing indication of the potency of populist politics in European debate.' Are the current control of immigration within Europe far too tight? Are populist political Parties taking advantage of the untenable immigration fears?Roger Boyes argues that the 'grim' politics of Russian president Vladimir Putin is in danger of being overlooked during this year's Winter Olympics in Sochi, 'The Kremlin leader is an authoritarian menace and his bullying tactics in Ukraine and beyond are making a nonsense out of the so-called Olympic spirit.'Subscribe in iTunes: itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/did-you-read Subscribe to The Times: www.thetimes.co.uk...
