IN CONVERSATION… with JOHN SWEENEY

In association with Surrey Stands With Ukraine

Legendary journalist, John Sweeney, has had a long and sometimes controversial career working for the BBC, the Observer newspaper, LBC and currently the Byline Times and Byline TV. He’s also written several books, both fiction and non-fiction. At the BBC he worked for long stints on both Panorama and Newsnight, during which he was often in ‘hot water’ and real personal danger. Amongst a host of other actions, he’s investigated Scientology; exposed ‘cot death syndrome’ wherein three mothers were wrongfully imprisoned for killing their own children; confronted extreme right wing activist Tommy Robinson. Perhaps most pertinent to the current world situation, he’s personally questioned Putin and uncovered Russian corruption, interference in elections and war crimes in Ukraine. He’s explored links between Trump associates and Russian officials and spies.

Come and hear all about it from the man himself... and don’t be afraid to ask a question!
