We are joined in The Tortoise Shack by trade unionist, activist and loving son, Brendan Ogle. Brendan was due to do this interview last Saturday, but tragically Brendan's Mam passed away early that same day. In an emotional interview, Brendan tells us about the hardship of a funeral during the Covid-19 pandemic and also the deep respect and love from his community and neighbours for his Mam. We also discuss the group think dominating the current news cycle, the lack of a national government and the real essential frontline workers who are keeping the country going. Our deepest respects and sympathies to Brendan and his family.
