Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWARNING: If easily triggered by rational discussion of complicated social topics, then this episode may not be for you. This week, the Matts react to the Supreme Court ruling defining women by their biological sex. It’s a landmark in a vitriolic, and sometimes violent, battle over trans rights. Who should hang their heads in shame at their conduct over this issue? Who deserves plaudits for courage in the face of cancellation? And how can we finally start to act constructively to overcome the obvious social challenges being trans creates - so everyone can co-exist in dignity? Also this week: How should society deal with the most reprehensible and dangerous criminals? News that the terrorist brother of the Manchester bomber was able to maim prison officers because he had access to self-catering facilities has shocked the Matts. They explore the options for dealing with the worst of the worst. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

The Two Matts
The Assisted Dying Bill gave the Matts plenty to think about a few months ago. Since then much has changed as it made its way through parliament. Has any of it changed the Matts’ minds? The answer is yes - but it’s a nuanced and challenging difficult debate without any easy answers. All the more reason to have it, in true Two Matts style. But first - as Trump doubles down on his trade war with China (or is it now trebles or even quadruples down? We’ve lost count!), the Matts assess the intellectual coherence of those saying we should thank Brexit, and they also think about the long term effects of an effective shutdown of trade between two of the world’s greatest markets.
