I took part this week in an edition of the BBC TV show Politics Live. My fellow guests were the veteran human rights lawyer Baroness Helena Kennedy, the Conservative peer Lord Bethell and the libertarian Spiked writer Ella Whelan. We discussed the NHS, Israel’s operation in Jenin, the British government’s bill banning Israel boycotts, and drug-testing at raves. You can listen to the audio of the show at the link above. The segment on Jenin starts at around 29 mins into the audio recording. Those who can access the BBC website can watch the show here.
