Don't be scared, be s**tscared

Don't be scared, be s**tscared

Prime Minister Abbott has warned us that the threat of terrorism is getting worse. Fortunately he’s just the man to do something about it. That’s a relief. Thank goodness his party didn’t get rid of him in the leadership challenge.

 

We look at the counter terrorism measures in this week’s Balls Radio and ask whether we’ve lost all sense of perspective.

What is Balls Radio?

Balls Radio is like talk radio, but for thinking people. Now a short daily occurrence, Phil Dobbie offers his opinions on what's happening, in the UK and overseas: politics, social policy, economics, science, religion. Yes, it's another, slightly overweight middle-aged white man telling the world how it should be. But there's nothing alt-right about Balls Radio. And we try and have fun along the way.
