Complaint
The programme included an interview with Tim Brain, a former Chief Constable of Gloucestershire.聽 A listener complained that he had been allowed to speak in favour of a second Brexit referendum without challenge or the inclusion of an alternative viewpoint.
Outcome
The tone of the interview, in which Mr Brain drew a comparison between the current political situation and that of the 1970s, was reflective rather than polemical, but his response to a question about his view on a further referendum resulted in one view on a controversial matter being broadcast, without appropriate challenge or reference to other viewpoints by the presenter.
Upheld
Further action
The finding was discussed with Richard Atkins and the Editor of Radio Gloucestershire.
