Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 3.4k ratings
  • A funny, yet educated view of the political climate. As the left seem to be getting completely detached from reality it's nice to listen to an alternative point of view, without feeling like you have to agree with it all or you'll be cancelled if you do. I recommend all my fellow lefties listen to this, if only to practise hearing opinions that don't align with their own and stop being insufferable smugs.

I PREDICTED A RIOT - Feat. Marcus Brigstocke
Q: Is this, with the people taking time out for mental health, just the flip of us trying to do the right thing and saying mental health is important too?

100 DAYS OF ANDY - Feat. Chris Snowdon
