Summary

The brilliant Rachel Fairburn returns this week. We ask whether pensioners right to protest should be protected or if they should be lobbed in a meat-wagon like anyone else. There's also talk of Starmer's unconvincing attempts to become a right-wing Harman. We then reflect on the Edinburgh Fringe and how it got progressively less funny.
