## Resource

In this week's Q&A episode, Andy & Neil discuss some of the recent attacks on synagogues and other Jewish sites in London. They explain who and what determines whether or not these incidents are declared as terror attacks, and Neil opens up on what it was like to be the person who formally announced a string of deadly terror attacks in the UK back in 2017. Plus, was Louis Theroux's recent documentary on the manosphere wrong not to focus more on its impact on women? Andy gives a very personal response to this question, while Neil also explains whether there's merit to the argument that police treat some suspects differently to others, based on their race, religion and social class. Later, Neil reveals when he made his most recent arrest - and whether he ever misses putting suspects in handcuffs. Have a question for a future episode?
