In this hard-hitting episode of Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs, Revs Jamie Franklin and Tom Pelham tackle the escalating crisis on Britain's streets.

A brutal knife attack in North Belfast by a Sudanese migrant — with apparent attempts to behead his victim — has triggered major riots, burning houses, and intense public anger. Jamie and Tom break down the incident, the shocking police response, and draw uncomfortable parallels with the murder of Henry Novak and growing accusations of two-tier policing.

Tom delivers a timely Bible reflection on Matthew 9:37-38 — "The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few" — challenging the Church to rise to the moment with hope and action. The conversation covers:

• The failures of mass immigration and integration
• Legacy media spin and gaslighting
• Kier Starmer’s plans to restrict social media for under-18s
• The Church of England’s response to the unrest
• Why civic nationalism may be the only alternative to rising tensions

Plus: Listener emails, the Hymn of the Week ("The Church’s One Foundation") and much more.

Raw, honest, and unfiltered Christian commentary on faith and current affairs in a nation under strain. If you’re tired of the mainstream narrative, this episode is essential listening.
