They Don' t Take Right Wing SERIOUSLY Silence Around Widdecombe s Murder BLASTED

Conservative commentator Benedict Spence joins Talk to take aim at Britain's "nanny state," tearing into proposals to ban outdoor junk food advertising, impose a midnight social media curfew on 16 and 17-year-olds, and slash rural speed limits to 20mph to protect cyclists.

Spence argues the majority of Britons are secretly in favour of state intervention, "but usually for other people," and traces the erosion of British self-reliance back through emigration and the losses of the First World War.

The conversation turns to the suspected murder of Ann Widdecombe, with Spence accusing police and media of a double standard after Devon and Cornwall Police U-turned on ruling out a political motive. He compares the reaction to the murder of Jo Cox, and suggests coverage of the case has conveniently overshadowed financial allegations against Nigel Farage, as well as scrutiny of the new Prime Minister's "mandate-less" transfer of power.
