Arrests at an RAF base on suspicion of terrorist offences, then bail. For many people - including President Trump - this didn't add up. Andy and Neil start this Q&A by explaining what police bail actually is and why the five suspects weren't held on remand for longer. Plus, they examine the likelihood of a hostile state - such as Iran - being involved in whatever happened in Gloucestershire in the early hours of Sunday morning.
They also discuss whether the police can and should be doing any more to crack down on the activities of individuals such as Danny Tommo, who was recently charged with criminal damage after an incident in the Channel. And can any more be done to protect the RNLI, who are coming under increasing hostility from far-right activists?
Andy & Neil also respond to the news that Scotland Yard is re-examining CCTV in the Jill Dando case. How much can enhancement technology realistically pull out of such old tape — and 27 years on, what would detectives genuinely need to turn a blurred figure on a screen into a named suspect?
And Mick asks about the Parole Board's decision to hear Jon Venables' latest review in private, despite James Bulger's mother Denise Fergus asking for it to be held in public. She says secrecy fuels misinformation, so who is a private hearing really protecting? And should victims' families have a say in that call?
