Episode 17 of Chris Sweeney Talks To features human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell.
Despite supporting a wide range of causes, Peter spoke about his decision to refuse the offer from Buckingham Palace to take part in the Queen's 2022 Platinum Jubilee as a "national treasure".
Peter describes why he refused, why he thinks the monarchy should lose their power and why he disagrees with any celebrations to mark Elizabeth's 70-year reign on the throne.
