Summary

For days the headlines have been consumed by what Bob Vylan said at Glastonbury. Jemma and Marina discuss. But, before they disseminate all the Glasto fallout and furore, they enjoy some British language discussion. Find out how to end a call you've had enough of and how to be polite while conveying disapproval. Then, find out why Farage has made such an outlandish claim, it's compelled the Albanian Prime Minister to get stuck in.

There follow some amazing clips in this episode as various people try to draw the focus of the media storm back to the fact that a ceasefire has been broken, that children are being murdered every day and that it's all on camera. It poses the question, what's a worse crime - incitement to violence or actual violence? And what are The Daily Mail thinking when they misquote on the front page?

It's a rollercoaster of an episode and takes in the current chaos within the Labour party as the welfare bill causes a rebellion and some painfully sad clips as the situation in Palestine worsens.

Rod Stewart offers some light relief as does the 'under rated' section.

And of course there's pudding
