Good but slightly narrow minded

Some superb analysis of the political and social state of affairs in Britain. However considering both presenters are at the socialist end of the spectrum, they could make more effort to engage right wing viewpoints in the debate, otherwise they fall into the trap of preaching the converted (of which I am one), which I’m sure is not their aim!
