Can’t believe I’m hearing this rubbish, total ignorance, Alex von T and the rest of the team should be ashamed, as for the guest, he’d be better off confining hemself to Musk land. Shows credibility sinks to new low.
Would love to listen to this but the sound quality of these podcasts is not up to standard
Does a podcast about racism but centres the entire discussion around racism by white people as if that is the only racism in the UK. Why not record a podcast about all the racist activity in the UK or have the non-white racists successfully cowed you into not having the guts for that debate? Scared they will racially harass you? But you’re ok to talk about the white racists though…..
Generally the bunker is quite good, A Harrison or G Esler are brilliant but J Jarvis ruins it, he’s meant to ask questions and wait for a response but all he does is editorialise when asking his questions it makes no sense. None.
Thank you so much for the wonderful episode with Neil Kinnock. His warmth, charisma and oratory hasn’t dimmed at all. Fabulous to hear him articulate what Labour should we saying.
