We are the UK’s first political internet television channel based at Westminster – run by young people, for young people. Whenever you have a question, comment or view that you want heard we'll make sure it happens, right here, in the heart of power. Catch21 is here for you and is here to stay.

The Big Issue - Legalise all drugs…?

Catch21 are aiming to find out what young people think about drugs and will be encouraging them to submit their views. They will be able to comment on the videos and blogs that are produced on the website as well as vote in an online poll where the result will be presented to a Home Office minister at the end of the month.

This is a new initiative from Catch21; each month Catch21 will explore an engaging theme from an edgy angle to stimulate debate and interest. Future single issues will include Immigration, Climate Change, Gangs & Guns, Cash for Politicians and many more.

Catch21 was set up by a group of students at the University of Hull to help engage young people with politics. Every month from February onwards Catch21 intends to cover a topic that young people want to hear about. It will focus on every angle, ranging from the political to the personal, and most importantly – will aim to lead the media’s agenda.
