Very good discussion this. Also enjoyed the increasingly steamed up windows, as the discussion progressed, making it look like a scene from a quaint Christmas card

That one stupid guy is so infuriating

On another note, are the podcasts no longer being uploaded on Apple Podcasts?

I'm gonna pick this back up on spotify

Great points

The American story is powerful. Sometimes that's all it takes

Its super relevant. If you don't learn, you risk making the same mistakes

Religion is definitely a key player in the culture wars of both the UK and the US. in the US, topics like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights will always trigger debates rooted in religious beliefs.... and this is where you see the intensifying of the conservative-liberal divide.

I saw all of this discussion. I think many important issues might have been discussed. One of the main problems with post modern structurally marxist critical theory wokeness is that it is a large negative supply shock on the UK economy. It is one of the many reasons why the UK's per capita income is less than 2/3rds that of the USA, in nominal and PPP terms. it is one of the reasons why the UK has a lower per capita income than South Korea and African Americans. 83% of foreign UK students leave the UK within 5 years of arriving. The UK also has high rates of outward emigration among skilled and talented workers. The UK has terrible K-12, GCSE, A levels performance. And the problem is multi-ethnic (with some exceptions such as Ghanaians, Nigerians, Jews, Chinese, Indians, Iranians, perhaps Scotts, Welsh and Irish.) I would love to have heard more about what the UK can do to sharply improve per capita real GDP, and the UK's long term ability to attract and retain talent. This, for me, is one of the main reasons to take on wokeness. I am curious if disparate impact in terms of socio-economic outcomes by group is entering the legal system in the UK. With all the liability issues that brings up for businesses and people in the UK. I am also curious about what affirmative action, preferences, set asides, quotas, subsidies the UK has by group to "help" certain lower socio-economic performing groups. I would also have loved to hear why black britons are 25 times as likely to be murdered as ethnic English in the UK? Why the UK has allowed so many BAME, immigrant and ethnic girls to be raped by grooming games? Why the UK has so much honor violence against liberal muslim females and lbgtrq+, and why the police and legal system refuse to stop it? Why does the UK not stop violence and threats against liberal muslims in general inside the UK? Why Britain refuses to stop FGM against muslim females in the UK? Why the UK has so much anti Jewish violence, threats and bigotry? Why to a lesser degree are anti Indian bigotry and threats increasing. Why do ethnic English talk about their "privilege" when so many other groups of people inside Briton and around the world do better than them, or are rising rapidly. I would also love to learn if African British ripped males are at the top of the dating market the way African American ripped males dominate the US dating market. What the dating market is like for African British females. I would also be curious to learn why the UK doesn't study other countries, cultures and civilizations and try to learn from them about how to improve Britain. I think Britain has much to learn from Africa. Magotte Wade often says that if some african countries became economic miracles, this would get rid of 80% of anti "black" bigotry around the world. Do these panelists agree? If a large group of the African diaspora became very successful, would this also get rid of 80% of anti "black" bigotry around the world? Please have future events with Tomiwa Owolade. Thanks.

I think in a way yes

Short answer NO

It shouldn't be. American's are very radical

I'm not finding Sonia Sodha intresting. She seems to only have one agenda, which isn't that relevant to the topic at hand. The gentlemen speakers and the audience shine more light on the issue

That guy needs to learn to talk without 'umming' every 5th word. So annoying I gave up listening.

Here’s Sonia Sodha once again obsessed with talking about trans people… Ask her why she continues to block people on Twitter who challenge her, debunk her lies and why she doesn’t allow comments on any of her Guardian/Observer articles on this topic… embarrassed for her.
