Reaction to Guant谩namo out of court settlement. Is Cameron right that Britian is still a world powerhouse? Just how embarrassing was Haye v Harrison for British boxing?
Tony Livesey has reaction throughout the show to the breaking news that the Government is to pay hundred of thousands of pounds to former Guant谩namo inmates rather than pursue a costly and potentially embarrasing court case.
Is Britain still a major power, politically, economically and militarily? Does its voice still count on the world stage or is it time to accept that we're a small island on the edge of the world that has become a bit of an irrelevance? We discuss our international clout in the first hour.
Later in hour one, just how much of an embarrassment was Saturday night's big fight between Audley Harrison and David Haye? Does it represent everything that's wrong with professional boxing - all about the money - nothing to do with sporting values? Is it really the kind of thing that inspires the next generation down to the local gym?
Do we need a fat tax to whack up the prize of food that's bad for us? Is it the return of the nanny state or a simple way of reflecting the extra cost that fatties cause the NHS?
And as I'm a Celebrity draws a massive 11 million of us to wince together again, in hour two, we talk kangaroo penises with former contestants and interior decorating experts Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan.
