The Week According To . . . Richard Vobes

This week we have Richard Vobes, The Bald Explorer to help us make some sense of the past seven days from the news, headlines and across the web and social media.
Lot's to chat about including...
- Humza Useless: Can Humza Yousaf survive as Scotland’s first minister?
- Hate Speech Law: Police Scotland have clearly watered down their draconian NCHI guidance, and we think we know why.
- Channel Migrants: Five including child die trying to cross to Britain.
- Six men are charged with drug and modern slavery offences in connection with Rochdale child exploitation probe.
- "I'm so gorgeous because..." Parents' fury after trans supply teacher explained their gender identity to seven-year-old pupils.
- Poorer exam results and prolonged damage to pupils is the ‘worst legacy’ of the pandemic.
- Life and Death Race: A brutal elimination round is reshaping the world’s biggest market for electric cars.

Richard Vobes, also known as The Bald Explorer is a film maker and amateur historian with a very popular YouTube channel.
He has noticed that the world is an odd place at the moment and everything you thought you knew is clearly not right.
Richard uses his channel to express concerns over the way things are in the world. Particularly that which affects us here in England.
He ponders the mysteries, questions the narrative and tries to get to the truth, hoping to uncover some of the secrets.
Richard proclaims he is not an expert, but just uses a little critical thinking, some common sense added with a touch of the whimsical.
