About this episode

Terror in New Orleans after a driver plows into crowds on Bourbon Street on new years eve. Ten years ago I asked then PM David Cameron if he'd read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. ISIS and Al Qaeda monsters in control of Syria, the Arab world is falling apart, I no longer recognise it.
