4/6. The Blue Line Thins

Beyond Westminster

Available for over a year

4/6. This month's street disturbances in England provoked outrage and soul-searching. But what are their lasting lessons for politicians and those involved with policing? John Kampfner explores, in a studio discussion, politicians' more considered reflections on the rioting and looting. Is British society "sick", in the Prime Minister's words? What do we need to change in our approach to the policing of public order to restore public confidence? And what steps do we need to take over the next twelve months to ensure next summer is trouble free? Joining him to tackle those questions and more are the MPs, Margot James, Chuka Umunna and Tom Brake, as well as social policy expert, Dr Marion Fitzgerald. Producer: Simon Coates.
