S3 EP02 HOW TO FIX BRITAIN'S HOUSING CRISIS: Homes, Sustainability and Urban Planning
Angela Walker In Conversation - Inspirational Interviews, Under-Reported News
02/10/24 • 49 min
The UK is in the middle of a chronic housing shortage. The government wants 300 thousand new homes built every year, but where should they go? Local authorities are under pressure and campaigners want to protect green spaces. How can we get the balance between the need for new homes and sustainability?
Join me as I discuss these issues and more with Helen Marshall, director of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, Oxfordshire and Maxwell Marlow from the Adam Smith Institute whose new report suggests allowing homeowners to build up to eight storeys high will alleviate the housing shortage and benefit the economy.
We explore the option of building on brownfield sites, land that has previously been developed. We talk about the role of solar. We look at the new report by the Adam Smith Institute: Cooped Up, quantifying the costs of housing restrictions. Should planning regulations be eased to encourage more building, or tightened up to protect the environment? Can we have more houses and still save our green spaces for future generations?
This podcast is supported by Stretto Architects an award-winning, design-led architect studio based in Bristol. Stretto has a dedicated team specialising in environmentally sensitive urban regeneration and a commitment to supporting projects rooted in social good.

S3 EP09 PUPPY FARM Camp Beagle and the dog factory where thousands of dogs are bred for toxicology tests
Angela Walker In Conversation - Inspirational Interviews, Under-Reported News
05/19/24 • 26 min
Two million scientific experiments were carried out on animals in the UK in 2022.
More than four thousand Beagles were among them.
Home office figures published in April 2024 show that in 2022 there were 175 cases of non-compliance to government regulations regarding the welfare of animals used in testing. More than 16,000 animals were affected. The government is promising to investigate.
MBR Acres in Cambridgeshire is a puppy farm, where beagles are bred to be tested on with toxic chemicals.
Campaigners say the practice is cruel, outdated and unnecessary. Proponents argue animal tests are essential for the advancement of science.
Outside MBR Acres is an encampment of protesters who have lived at the site for almost three years. John Curtin is one of them. He explains how they obtained footage inside the top security site - and how he's been arrested for flying a small drone over the site.
John tells us how he has seen hundreds of vans carrying dogs from site, which they have followed across the UK to their final destinations - science laboratories. He shares stories of animal rights group Animal Rising who have broken into the site and freed a number of dogs.
I invited the following parties to participate in the podcast or provide a comment. They did not.

S2 EP03 FARMING IN THE UK UNDER THREAT campaigners say cheap, inferior imports are undermining the industry
Angela Walker In Conversation - Inspirational Interviews, Under-Reported News
09/06/23 • 45 min
Meat reared overseas using practises that would be illegal in the UK is being sold alongside British meat to unwitting consumers.
Jacob Rees Mogg, North East Somerset Conservative MP has called for the UK to import 'hormone-injected beef' from Australia and the scrapping of import tariffs on food to open up trade. He said: "I want cheaper food. I want hormone-injected beef from Australia. I've eaten beef in Australia, it's delicious. There's nothing wrong with it."
Ben Gibbons from the National Farmers Union says trade deals are threatening the UK's farming industry by opening up the market to unfair competition and poor quality imports produced to lower environmental standards.
Fourth-generation farmer Anna Longthorpe says misleading food labels are undermining British farming and she wants the government to act.
They are calling for clear, accurate, and simple labels, specifically advocating for a prominent country of origin display.
ASDA, Tesco, Defra and the Competitions Authority declined to join us for our discussion.
We explore the idea that consumers are more likely to buy products clearly labelled as British, shedding light on the potential impact of food security on the nation's agricultural production. We scrutinize the government's approach to foreign trade deals and their impact on food security, we also discuss initiatives like 'Back British Farming Day'.
Finally, we delve into the challenge of ensuring that British products are accessible to all budget shoppers, emphasizing on pushing for policies that support sustainable farmers and supply chains. Tune in to gain insights into these pressing issues and more!

Angela Walker In Conversation - Inspirational Interviews, Under-Reported News
07/30/23 • 38 min
Imagine having unlicensed toxins injected into your face by someone with no training. That's what is happening across the UK every day - with disastrous results. Nurse Practitioner Sarah Healey and Ashton Collins from campaign group Save Face join me to discuss the alarming lack of regulation in the booming non-surgical aesthetics industry.
Hear how unscrupulous beauticians are buying unlicensed products from overseas and injecting unwitting consumers with saline, beef gelatine and other products.
Sarah, who's been shortlisted for a Safety In Beauty Award, gives us a first-hand account of the process she follows when dealing with patients seeking injectable treatments and the risks they pose. We also discuss how social media and reality TV have played their role in escalating the demand amongst the young, and why it's more important than ever to ensure you're in the hands of a suitably trained and certified practitioner. So, tune in, as we end with a discussion around the current standards in aesthetic treatments and how to ensure your safety in this rapidly growing industry.
In loving memory of my friend Sarah, who died suddenly on 6th November 2023, and who always believed in doing the right thing.

S1 EP03 CONTAMINATED BLOOD SCANDAL: Jason Evans and Des Collins Discuss the Infected Blood Inquiry and the Compensation Chaos
Angela Walker In Conversation - Inspirational Interviews, Under-Reported News
07/03/23 • 43 min
Thousands of people were infected with HIV and Hepatitis after being given contaminated blood by the NHS in the 1970s and 80s. Many have since died - more are gravely ill. The government has been directed to pay compensation to those affected and quickly, yet hundreds of people haven't received a penny. Jason Evans lost his father when he was four years old as a result of the infected blood scandal. He spearheaded a mission for truth and justice by setting up campaign group Factor 8 to demand a public inquiry and now he's fighting for the compensation agreed to be paid out. Joined with Des Collins, a formidable solicitor advocating for hundreds of victims, we delve into this shocking chapter of medical history and its ongoing implications. Hear their stories, the relentless hunt for damning documents, and the profound determination of victims fighting for their rights.
Des Collins and Jason Evans share invaluable insights about the bureaucratic red tape that has delayed compensation and justice for those affected. We dive into the intricacies of the Robert Francis report from 2022, the Langstaff report's recommendations, and what these delays mean for those still awaiting compensation.
Through their tales of persistence and resilience, Jason and Des will bring us face to face with the realities of trying to hold government officials accountable.

S3 EP10 INFECTED BLOOD SCANDAL: Deaths, Gaslighting, Incompetence and the Fight for Justice with Clive Smith
Angela Walker In Conversation - Inspirational Interviews, Under-Reported News
06/01/24 • 38 min
Thousands of patients were lied to and given blood products that infected them with HIV and Hepatitis.
Doctors knowingly infected hundreds of children and then covered it up.
@AngelaWalkerReportsInterviews
Medical professionals and politicians put vulnerable patients at "unacceptable risk" the UK"s Infected Blood Inquiry report has found.
More than 30,000 people were infected with contaminated blood products administered by the NHS in the 1970s and 80s.
Join Angela Walker for a compelling, powerful and emotional discussion with Clive Smith, Chair of the Trustees of the Haemophilia Society, as we uncover the profound implications of the Infected Blood Inquiry's final report. Sir Brian Langstaff's findings reveal a scandalous decision in 1973 to license contaminated blood products, leading to preventable infections and a shocking cover-up by both medical professionals and government officials. Clive shares the deep personal and communal impact of this health crisis, emphasizing the conspiracy to conceal the truth and the failure to protect patients.
The episode delves into the government's controversial response to the reports from Sir Robert Francis and Sir Brian Langstaff concerning victim compensation. Listeners will hear about the skepticism surrounding the government's rapid overnight response, the unprecedented measures taken to ensure accountability, and the ongoing political complexities, including the calling of a general election. We also address the emotional toll on the affected community and the significance of an effective compensation scheme for the victims and their families.
Angela and Clive reflect on the historical context of the contaminated blood scandal, highlighting the political and administrative failures that perpetuated this tragedy. The conversation covers the harrowing experiences of those living with hemophilia, the tragic stories of co-infections with HIV and hepatitis C, and the broader systemic failures that allowed this disaster to occur. This episode is a testament to the resilience of the victims and their unwavering commitment to justice and patient safety.
