In this episode, James explores the systems in place to prevent harmful advertising from being shown in the UK. Ad regulation can work, but it's piecemeal and slow, as the current failure to keep pace with emerging greenwash advertising from fossil fuels companies makes clear. James later speaks to Will Prochaska from the Coalition to End Gambling Ads about how regulation fails to protect us from ads that promote one of the UK's most harmful industries.
