Oil giants reject tax relief, inequality up north & spying on innocents (E194)

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on North Sea oil tax relief. In a shock announcement, representatives for Royal Dutch Shell and BP reveal why they’re refusing the government’s tax break and stopping oil drilling in the Arctic. Stewart Paterson, political correspondent for Glasgow's Evening Times, thinks growing inequality and increased reliance on food banks could be a big factor in the election north of the border. And is the government spying on you? Kevin Blowe, co-ordinator for Netpol, the network for police monitoring, looks at the domestic extremism database, which features people who have never even committed a crime.
