June 19, 2020Episode 96 - Bullshit Detector Alert! Level 3 Distraction!Weirdly, the alert level moved down to 3 via tweets from the Department of Health, but no scientist was at the daily propaganda briefing to answer questions! No evidence has been published to explain this change. It seems like it's all a risky ruse to get the Daily Mail back onside after ditching the contact tracing app yesterday. *Contains swearing*...more19minPlay

June 15, 2020Episode 92 - Hidden historiesI heard a very disturbing episode of Radiolab today, looking at British crimes in the 1950s of torturing, raping and murdering thousands of Kenyans. It is hidden history, deliberately erased from our understanding of post-war Britain. Churchill was PM from 1951 to 1955. You can hear Mau Mau here: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/mau-mau Kenya: White Terror, the BBC documentary is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XV0udfKrzTQ *Warning - graphic descriptions of torture in both the Radiolab episode and BBC documentary* *Contains swearing*...more18minPlay
June 14, 2020Episode 91 - Hop DaddySky news correspondent Inzamam Rashid was leaked the recommendations from the Public Health England review into how to protect BAME people from COVID-19.

June 13, 2020Episode 90 - Herd Immunity: is it still policy?Re-listening to Vallance and Bonson Johnson prepare us for many deaths, followed by a slack lockdown and haphazard easing, is herd immunity still policy?

June 11, 2020Episode 88 - A scandal is brewingThere are now three different estimations of the number of deaths avoided if we'd locked down a week earlier: 25,000, 30,000 and 40,000. Locking down late is probably the worst of all the mistakes Bonson Johnson has made. *Contains swearing*...more23minPlay
June 10, 2020Episode 87 - Ferguson on lockdownNeil Ferguson says half the UK COVID-19 deaths would have been avoided if we'd locked down a week earlier. That's at least 25,000 people.

Meanwhile pianist/magic man/genius friend of the show Augusto has given us all a gift...can you spot it? *Contains swearing*...more13minPlay
