Episode description

Neil and Andy address the controversial issue of Shamima Begum, and whether it's right that she was stripped of her British citizenship, in this week's bonus episode. Neil recalls the moment when the then Home Secretary Sajid Javid interrupted his meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May to announce that he'd made that decision - and the pair discuss whether Begum should be allowed back in the UK now.

They also answer your questions on stop & search: invaluable tool for fighting knife crime, or a tactic which damages community relations beyond repair? And what exactly does 'county lines' mean? Andy explains and Neil reveals why it poses such a major problem for British police forces.
