This week's Big Picture was chaired by Matt and featured Seb, David and Joe discussing the big news stories of the week. They discussed David Cameron's comments about Britain being a Christian country, the so-called '24' effect which concerns the view by a majority of Britons who argue that torture can be justifiable, looking at the possible influence of TV shows including '24' and 'Homeland', and finally the on-going crisis in Ukraine after Russia annexed Crimea.

Michael gathers a diverse group of Nottingham students to debate some of the biggest news of the last few weeks: the fate of Nick Clegg -- and his Liberal Democrats -- at the next General Election; the allegations of elitism and even institutional racism in David Cameron's advisory team; and reforms to privatise the Probation Service. Join us for another informed and impassioned series of debates!
