Episode Synopsis

Join our hosts for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Political Bias’ and ‘University Fees Increase’


Political Bias

Muslims have often been made scapegoats in politics due to a mix of historical prejudice, media bias, and political manipulation. Since events like 9/11, many media outlets have unfairly linked Islam with terrorism, shaping public fear and misunderstanding. This “othering” of Muslims reinforces stereotypes and fuels discrimination, hate crimes, and social division. Join us today as we take a look at how political bias impacts society and the possible ways it can be tackled.

University Fees Increase

As living costs rise and student debt grows, debate over tuition fee increases has reignited across the UK. Are universities justified in raising costs, or are students being priced out of opportunity? Join us as we examine government policy, economic pressures, and widening inequality, asking whether education should remain a right, not a privilege.
