How much of an effect has cannabis had on listeners' communities? Former Tory leader William Hague has said the war on cannabis has been "comprehensively lost".

How much of an effect has cannabis had on your community? We're asking this after the former Conservative Party leader William Hague said the war on cannabis has been "comprehensively lost". After that Ankur is joined by author Nikesh Shukla to talk about his new book 'Run, Riot". Then we mark a year since the Finsbury Park Mosque attack in London, which killed one person and injured nine others. Ankur speaks to eye-witness Yaseen Haseeb and Shaukat Warraich from Faith Associates to talk about how they have been helping mosques increase security since the attack. And this week's Big Debate's Little Debate comes from Ejel Khan. He wants to talk about why some Asians cannot accept people from the LGBT community.
