In a troubled and toxic world we struggle to find people who are clear and consistent in their values and political narrative. Whilst I don’t agree with everything the hosts say or believe in (PS I don’t have to) the discussion, humour, despair, and fruity language is just what I need to keep me to connected to what I believe in.
But only the bad actors acting bad against them. Hates racism but only the racism against them. Presenters spew forth their own partisan viewpoints whilst hating on others for being partisan. Riddled with hypocrisy and free of self reflection.
Go elsewhere to get fresh interesting takes on UK politics.
Outstanding. Informative and funny.
