  • It Could Be Said #224 FOOTBALL'S BACK! MORALITY ISN'T!

    Simon Alvey, Will Cooling and Dr Luke Middup surpass themselves by not getting past the introductions in this 90minute podcast!

  • It Could Be Said #223 NHS & UKRAINE WINNING HERE!!!

    Simon Alvey, Will Cooling and Dr Luke Middup talk about the NHS, Ukraine, Ben Wallace, University Admissions, and By-Elections and at no point do they say Keir Starmer is a wrong-un for his pro-child poverty policy. 

    Well he is you know, and the mainstream media, such as It Could Be Media, won't tell you. So make sure you don't listen to these corporate sellouts, and oppose *Sir* Keir Starmer's attempt to make a Labour Government increase child poverty. But don't let tory bastards like Simon, Will and Luke hear you fight for the ordinary man. They kept the story out of the discussion to distract you from what's really important. Or they had gone on to long and knew that story would still be live next week. Ah fuck it! Trust no-one! Other than those who tell you to trust nobody else of course!

  • It Could Be Said #221 Another Promise Bites The Dust! And Another Promise Gone and...

    Simon Alvey, Will Cooling and Dr Luke Middup are somehow able to still podcast after the shocking revelation that Boris Johnson lied to someone. They look at his bizarre resignation, the brual condemnation delivered to him by the House of Commons Priviledges Committee, and what the future holds for him. They also talk Nadine Dorries's non-resignation and Caroline Lucas planning to stand-down at the next election. The podcast does start on a sombre note, as the three of us, all of who graduated from the University of Nottingham, reflect on the tragic events of Tuesday morning.
