Along the Lines is a conversational podcast started during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Beginning the first episodes in lockdown, and unable to meet each guest in person, the conversations had to take place along the phone lines.
Each episode is along the lines of... whatever subject/s are interesting and relevant (to the unique guests) at the time of recording. 

In this episode, Dan talks/semi-debates with Nick Twigger about quite a few different topics that include...

- Forming quick and strong opinions
- Good things to come out of this crisis
- Individuals coming together as one
- Changing political/democratic systems
- Should drugs be decriminalised?
- How much control should police have? 

Please feel free to comment, like, subscribe and/or come on as a guest. 

Let's keep the conversation going!

No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time; but there is the broad feeling in our country that the people should rule, continuously rule, and that public opinion, expressed by all constitutional means, should shape, guide, and control the actions of Ministers who are their servants and not their masters."
