Jenny and Zoë at the Weekend

Egypt, Porn and Rabbit Racing

zoe@zoerobinson.com (Zoë Robinson) — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 04:24:58 PST

This week, Jenny and Zoe find themselves heading to the Bunker Broadcasting System, a secret location high in the underground mountains of Somewhere. There they talk about the unrest in Egypt; the annoucement that Jacqui Smith is making a documentary on pornography for the BBC; and the upcoming Rabbit Grand National.

Update: We mentioned in the show that Egypt was a democracy of sorts and this is, of course, untrue. We got that information after checking a few websites because we are not entirely up-to-date on the socio-political structure of African nations. Egypt is a dictatorship masquerading as a republic, which is part of the problem that has caused the riots. We apologise for the error.
