Moralty in manifestos; Jasvinder Sangheras damehood

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday, Moralty in manifestos; Jasvinder Sangheras damehood

Emily Buchanan examines the ethical and religious issues of the week.

Emily Buchanan asks guests, how moral are the manifestos? The story behind Jasvinder Sanghera's damehood. And why a bearded lady might be a saint.

As politicians promise to make us richer, our panellists – Rt Rev David Walker, Quassim Cassam, Seeta Suchak and David Landrum - take a moral approach to the party manifestos. The campaigner against forced marriage, Jasvinder Sanghera, who has just been made a dame, tells her own astonishing story. And a medieval historian, Hannah Skoda, explains why women with beards were considered holy.
