Mark Thomas has done some excellent work in satirising some dreadful political corruption. I loved his comedy product. He deserved an award for his truth and fearless honesty. Great bloke.
@@BonaFide54 The Mark Thomas comedy product was a brilliant series where he took on people like the Church of England over their dodgy investments in things like the arms industry and the little known Trade Export Guarantee Fund, essentially underwriting arms sales to questionable regimes in case they didn't pay up. All this using tax payers money. Very serious subjects, great satire.
@@BonaFide54 I know it's not cool anymore, but I'm still a huge fan of BBC Radio and he had a couple of shows that might be interesting for you. There's Mark Thomas' Manifesto, where he travels around the country asking people to propose laws and then he discusses them with the audience and experts before getting everyone to vote which suggestion is added to his "manifesto" using the Single Transferable Cheer (😁) electoral system. He did a couple of series of them, but they're not on BBC Sounds or Audible at the moment. 😔 But I have seen "50 Things About Us" on audible, so that's in my wishlist ready for a credit as it's a new one that I don't think I've heard. 😉 I'm not sure if you've heard much from Mark Steel too as he's in a similar vein. He has The Mark Steel Lectures (for some historical stuff) and a Podcast called What the F*** is going on?
One thing defenders of Johnson and Partygate seem to miss is this, what happens, if as is entirely possible, another pandemic comes along, that as pandemics do, require a large degree of public cooperation to limit its spread, you simply will not have the large degree of cooperation that occurred in 2020/21. Johnson has poisoned that well regardless of who follows him including a change of government.
Do you mean like right now Graham? The current Death Rate from Covid is averaging 616 per day - we haven't seen these numbers since Dec 2020. And the estimated Average infection rate is thought to be about 28,000/day (but that's more guesswork than definitive estimate since the government stopped testing). And we can't even get people to wear a mask and try to keep social distancing when possible. 😠
@@EthanKristopherHartley Yes that too but the Government doctrine is that it's over. They tend resist even brush off 'experts' as the past 6 years have shown.
All the young students are cheering and clapping which is great coz they are the future, however, there are a few older people (perhaps the parents) sat with arms folded! The conversation between student and parent afterwards will be interesting. 😆
@@BonaFide54 and the wef. Did you see mayhar tousi video on rishi family interests in China. Its guess what? A digital id company! Check it out. Very interesting. 👍🌻🦋👽
Johnson is the amoeba of creatures ,it always amazes me how he stands ,I thought amoebas had no spine, thoroughly disgusting creature ,Johnson ,not the amoeba
Lying - yes, but was anyone misled? Johnson can tell me stuff that's not credible, I'm not being misled unless I act on it. Compare to Blair/Campbell telling us that Saddam was an imminent and sophisticated threat, some MPs got misled on that. Narcissist - a politician, quelle surprise. Division - just look where the unified Ukraine foreign policy has gotten us. Parties - ooh feel the jealousy, but the reaction does rather explain a lot about human nature, we get narked about people having freedoms we don't have much more than wealth we don't have.
But lying is worse than misleading, if you are misleading it is an unintentional untruth. Lying is intentional untruth. Yet you sound like Blair misleading mps is worse than outright lying to them?
