Tolerance
Does tolerance turn us into doormats? Mark Watson's quest to improve the world. With Tim Key. Broadcast live in November 2011.
Mark Watson continues his quest to improve the world.
As broadcast live in November 2011 - he invites the audience join in via tweets and messages to work out how we can all make the world a better place.
He's nimbly assisted by:
Tim Key
Tom Basden.
This time Mark looks at "Tolerance".
Religious tolerance, moral tolerance, not striking the person next to you on the bus because they haven't worked out you can send a text without your phone beeping every time you press a key.
It's important to tolerate others' faults, their little quirks, and their massive despicable crimes. But can tolerance make us into doormats, allowing evil to thrive? Probably. Shame, that.
Producer: Lianne Coop.
First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in November 2011.
