1 hr 12 min - 44. The USA is the UK’s Daddy
This week, we unpack the UN Security Council passing a resolution demanding ‘an immediate ceasefire’ during Ramadan. While this is a major breakthrough in terms of Britain finally voting for a ceasefire, we still see past the facade of what's clearly a temporary one. Hun, you can't "pause" a genocide.
Sorry for the late episode, we've all been through it this week, so we're taking a break from recording to relax during the Easter Bank Holiday. This means there won't be a new episode next week. A new episode will be published on Tuesday 9th April. 💜
In the Spotlight: The Damilola Taylor Trust opened by Richard Taylor OBE as a memorial to his son with the aim of providing a legacy of hope and opportunity for disadvantaged and under privileged young people.
RIP Richard Taylor 🕊️

1 hr 5 min - 43. Debating Racism is Racist
This week we take a deep dive into the aftermath of Frank Hester's racist and violent hate speech. Plus we cuss out the careers coons that support and uphold parliament, spinless Starmer's Labour Party and the Convervaties when it comes to the lack of protection of Diane Abbott.
In the Spotlight: The organizers of the Rally for Diane Abbott - local black women in Hackney including Lucie Scott, the former BAME officer for Hackney North, local activist Sulekha Hassan and several councillors in the borough. More info here.

29 min - 40. The Secret Diary of a Political Dwarf
We took a break for a week but your faves are back, recharged and ready to show up and cuss out. Of course, we're cussing out that rat Rishi Sunak and his recent speech outside of 10 Downing Street. If there was a High Priest of gaslighting, Rishi would be the temple the priest prayed in. We also salute George Galloway's recent landslide by-election win in Rochdale and discuss what this means for British politics.
