Planet Normal: A helluva week on the rocket | Podcast

It’s been one helluva week on the rocket for co-pilot Pearson, as she describes the ‘news tsunami’ that has crashed through her life.
Your co-pilots talk through the reaction to Allison’s story and discuss the principle of free speech in this country.
Also boarding the rocket to discuss his new book, ‘What went Wrong with Capitalism’, is author Dr Ruchir Sharma who lays out his solution to the relationship between state support and free markets.
And there is no shortage of post this week as your co-pilots dive into the rocket’s bulging mailbag as readers react to recent events.

All the best Allison ❤

[@wellyman2008]

Who is pursuing Essex Police for wasting police time (and taxpayers' money)?

[@johnbull4138]

Pursue government for making the law

[@phillipneale5256]

Chin up Allison,as I always say in times like this"how can I saw like an eagle when I'm surrounded by effing turkeys!!!" Good luck on your fight against the thought police.

[@RelationalDatabase-us7fr]

Reminds me of The Stasi

[@michaelshenton6056]

Excellent podcast.

[@dannyjonze]

Allison had done well with this. This has been going on for years and is scandalous. It's unfortunate for Allison but it is so important to make a noise about it. I knew Allison would kick up a good amount of press but it has been inescapable. So well done Allison, we need freedom of speech. Police do your job not woke idiocy. Funny how there's no ads served up by youtube on the planet normal podcast. Usually the ads sre every 2 minutes and make it unwatchable, this episode - no ads. what do we make o that.

Glad the charges where dropped

[@chieftandriver703]

Glad to hear the matter has been dropped HOWEVER this has brought a sharp spotlight on the freedom of speech and freedom of the press in the U.K. around the world. In the days gone by the head of the force would either explain the decision or resign in disgrace but we are in a world where the managerial class throw their underlings to the wolves without a second thought BJ Harrington has behaved in a most craven and arrogant way. His complete disregard for his staff speaks volumes

[@Crimeajewel-me3me]

Lady maybe able to sue the Essex police for damages. And let the judge, judge.

[@dandyreadle6280]

Hear, hear. Go for it, Alison. The silent majority are becoming less silent. The British majority have to be heard.

[@JanBatchelor-i1b]

It's worse than it even appears. Here in Scotland we are told that 'non-crime hate incidents' are kept on record in perpetuity. This in effect means that one can remain on police record for not committing crimes! Well, my rap sheet for a lifetime of non- crimes must fill a library....

[@RelationalDatabase-us7fr]

23 mins - I can recommend the following books: Stasiland by Anna Funder and Disinformation by Ion Mihai Pacepa and Ronald Rychlak

[@SusanLevell]

First time I have listened on here & have to say very enlightening & professional.

[@nioengland]

Shame on Essex Police.. and Shame on the GY Establishment

[@peterstephenson9538]

please cover what maitlis & sopel are saying about this over on their broadcast. please take those fools on & bring them to the party, of good will debate informed by just a little bit of history.

[@jamessmith1652]

This all started in the Blair years, the offence of being offensive (which is subjective). It's just coming home to roost now along with hundreds of other new "crimes". Welcome to police state Britain. Very sad.

[@johnbull4138]

No it didn’t. It started in 1986.

[@DamonClarke-g1f]

Truly absurd country we now live in. How many people is this happening too, if they'll go after Allison they'll have no issue at all with Joe Public? This country and it's lamentable political class have killed off the Britain we knew, they're utterly batshit.

[@RelationalDatabase-us7fr]

19 mins - What on earth was a Tory Government passing the NCHI legislation?

[@RelationalDatabase-us7fr]

The NCHI legislation has got to go! Bring back common sense.

[@chieftandriver703]

BJ Harrington was famously photographed with an LBGT flag saying that anyone making derogatory comments would be investigated and tracked down This was probably 2 years ago. I recall it well because I used to work with him when he was in the Met

[@dannyjonze]

Emily Maitliss? Just alwase refer to Marjorie Taylor Green's response to her, she deserves nothing better.

[@freespirit6209]

♥👍

[@keithsewell8389]

It looks to me as if Mr Starmer and the WOKE folks may have met their match!

[@cnwuk]

Magna Carta, did she die in vain?

[@JupiterThunder]

It would appear so, captain

[@SpicyRightWing]

Liam low key disappeared from GB NEWS

[@Cosmoscosmos1]

Get labour out,get reform,or a reformed Tory’s in next time around. There’s a reason labour have barely been in power since the party was formed!

[@JupiterThunder]

The Tories started all this madness, they are fully responsible.

[@khilldesign4380]

this twot separated social justice with "actual justice". They're both justice. Another braindead mouthpiece
