Every day about 1,900 children are born in the UK, but one has drawn particular attention because her mum and dad are quite famous, and have a bit of dosh.
On this week’s Balls Radio we provide the latest on the Royal birth, the forthcoming UK election, the riots in Baltimore, we question the merits of negative gearing, the latest crackpot scheme to charge an admission fee for migrants and look into the credentials of Bjorn Lomborg – the sceptical environmentalist.
