Big Picture 01/05/2013 - Benefits, North Korea and Pornography
7 May 2013 - 7:12pm — The Big PictureOur first debate tonight focussed on the benefit changes that had come into effect over the Easter break - including the bedroom tax, the universal credit and the capping of housing benefit.
Our second debate was on our dear friend North Korea, their recent posturing and whether they represented a credible threat to the west, China or nobody at all.
And our final debate centred around the proposal that pornography should be used in sex education to give children better, more realistic body images and prepare them for the 'hyper-sexualised' culture we live in.
Thanks very much for listening, we hope you'll join us next thursday at 6pm!
