The Tea with Myriam Francois

"The super rich are blood clots to the body"


Listen Later

From working-class communities abandoned, neglected, and exploited, to the super-rich hoarding wealth and power, to the rise of racist, exclusionary politics - we’re trapped in a cycle of destruction.


In this new eye opening episode of The Tea, we dive into the deep-rooted issues plaguing society today, with critical theorist and viral creator Louisa Munch.


Louisa comes from Rochdale, a town once symbolising the hope of capitalism, now a casualty of systemic neglect and political manipulation. The far-right’s grip is tightening, but behind their rhetoric lies a simple truth: we’re stuck in a death drive where the past is fetishised and the future seems hopeless.


In this episode, we tackle:

⚠️ The myth of the “rich exodus” — Should we really care if billionaires leave?

⚠️ Neoliberalism’s death rattle — Why the system is dragging us down

⚠️ Wealth hoarding — How the super-rich are inflating costs for the rest of us

⚠️ The grooming gang scandal — The truth behind the headlines

⚠️ Gen Z’s nihilism — How do we fix the hopelessness gripping young people?

⚠️ Hope for the future — Can we rebuild a society that works for everyone?

As Louisa says, “We need to change the conversation from migration to wealth inequality if we’re ever going to change the material reality of people’s lives.”
