Parents smacking kids in order to control them.

Has the smacking ban made it harder for parents to control their children? Plus our Letting Off Steam panel with Jote Bassi and Babestation twins Priti and Preeya.

At 1, Nihal kicks of the week by asking 'Has the smacking ban made it harder for parents to control their children?'

The MP for Tottenham David Lammy has written a book about the lessons to be learnt from this summer's riots. He says the smacking ban contributed to their riots and that parents no longer feel they can discipline their children because of the smacking ban brought in under the last Labour government. Is he right?

Do you smack your children? Does it help you to keep them in line?

Or do you think you have failed as a parent if you have to smack your children? The NSPCC says David Lammy is wrong, which side are you on?

After 2, Its our Letting Off Steam panel, with Jote Bassi and the Babestation twins, Priti and Preeya.
In this hour you can call, text or email us with whatever is getting on your nerves.

Also on the programme today, a classic Asian Gold track by Jagjit and Chitra Singh, Punjabi Tappe, performed live on Asian Magazine in 1984.
