Ep.199 - Abolish The Monarchy

In a week where:

1. Roger Federer announces retirement from Tennis.
2. Queen's Funeral happened.
3. Hurricane Fiona makes landfall in Puerto Rico.
4. Las Vegas Aces win the WNBA Championship.
5. Adnan Syed will be released after his murder conviction is vacated.

In Politics: (6:02) Kwame Ture, fka Stokely Carmichael, was a big supporter of the UK Black Power movement back in the day; and whilst we could've guessed this, it's now been found that the UK government had a secret unit to weaken the movement.

In the 1st of three Society segments: (18:50) The Windrush Scandal continues to elongate as only 1% of claimants have a successful appeal. But why are the people that committed the crime, deciding the compensation?

In the 2nd Society segment: (29:55) Another word on policing as a whole, where we ask the question, do the police actually succeed in their job? Which is to solve crimes?

Finally, in the 3rd segment: (49:59) With The Queen now laid to rest, WE CAN FINALLY HAVE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT ABOLISHING THE MONARCHY!
