Minimum wage and prosthetic legs

Jeremy Vine

Available for 29 days

Jeremy discusses whether the minimum wage for under 21s should be raised or if that is a disincentive for firms to hire them. He looks at the legacy of Jesse Jackson, the US civil rights campaigner who has died at 84. We meet a man who was so frustrated with the choice of prosthetic legs on offer via the NHS that he built his own. Also, the social stigma of saying: "I don't like dogs." To listen on most smart speakers, just say: “ask BBC Sounds to play Jeremy Vine". Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 2
