Oh God, What Now?

125: Guests LED BY DONKEYS: How they hacked Brexit Britain’s brain


Listen Later

They put tweets that Brexiters would rather forget on giant billboards, chased Farage around the country with reminders of his lies, and annoyed loony-right glove puppet Guido Fawkes so much he outed them for spite. Now guerrilla artists and Remainiac heroes LED BY DONKEYS join us on the podcast to tell us what it’s like when an idea in the pub goes on to the country alight.


Ben Stewart and Olly Knowles from LBD tell us who deserves a proper lampooning (and who doesn’t), why the British will accept anything from a man in a hi-viz jacket… and how they used their own brand of street theatre to hack the media, the political system and the brain of Britain itself. 


Plus: Why we need to stop calling it ‘prorogation’ and call it an executive coup instead. The March of the Mini-Hoeys. The dawn of Brexit Stalinism… or is it Stalinist Brexit? Nina destroys the argument that we have to leave the EU to trade freely in a hot minute. And why there are only effectively nine working days to stop No Deal. 


“The only thing that needs to happen for No Deal to occur is… nothing. If nothing happens, No Deal happens.”


Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Nina Schick and Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Audio production by Sophie Black at Soho Radio, London. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.
