Prison break in UK; Gov’t ‘collusion’ on GM & to ban or not to ban Shakespeare? [E83]

Published 28 May, 2014 07:26 | Updated 28 May, 2014 07:26

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the recent prison breaks from British jails – but is the system at fault or is the media to blame for causing the hype? We look at the government’s relationship with firms like the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey and allegations of them spying on Chinese partners. Plus a campaign group says leaked emails show close ties between GM lobbyists and coalition ministers. We introduce the Gamma Group, who has been selling technology to spy on pro-democracy protesters in Bahrain. And American students are calling for books to come with advisory warnings – could we soon be saying ‘wherefore art thou, Romeo?’
