Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 45 ratings
  • Quality information

    I have been listening to you for a while. I just went back to listen to the earlier episode on the Internal Market Bill. This is what an engaged citizen wants, in my view. Less on controversy, more on actual content of the proposed bill, the motivation of the legislator, and how various key stakeholderes will view it. An rich, but easy listening discussion, nonetheless.

    Lost my patience and temper with this. Some guests are unbelievably snooty, especially from the food and drink association who seem to have their collective heads in the sand. The sheer arrogance and exceptionalism just gets on my nerves now. Had enough!
