Oh God, What Now?

Bibby Stockholm syndrome


Listen Later

The Tories have ramped their anti-immigration rhetoric up to eleven – can it help their election fortunes? With Lee Anderson going all in with belligerence and asylum seekers being moved on to the Bibby Stockholm barge, we pick apart the Government’s motives. Plus, who are the elite? Is it you? Is it us? Is being elite bad now? The panel tries to unpack it all. And in the extra bit for subscribers, is doing things by yourself always empowering? 


  • “I think the Tories have decided that they want to make immigration their focus of the next election campaign.” – Rachel Cunliffe
  • “This stigmatisation is completely central to their electoral campaign.” – Seth Thévoz
  • “The government certainly is not signalling openness and tolerance with any of its messaging.” – Padraig Reidy
  • “Elite used to be a good thing, right?” – Rachel Cunliffe
