#139 // Mathsdebater

Solo episode | the NHS has collapsed but it seems to be under some sort of Superinjunction prohibiting Sky News and BBC News websites from reporting it. Meanwhile Rishi Sunak re-opens the "Make Everyone Do Maths" til 18 Debate.

The NHS has collapsed but it seems to have purchased some sort of superinjunction prohibiting Sky News and BBC News websites (and the Right wing rags) from reporting it. Meanwhile Rishi Sunak re-opens the "Make Everyone Do Maths" til 18 Debate, which gobbles all the headlines. We are living in an idiocratic dystopia. Kill me?

#134 // Dapper Laughs (aka Daniel O'Reilly)

Daniel O’Reilly is a controversial comedian and entrepreneur. He survived a period of tabloid (& Newsnight) hysteria having ultimately been torn down in a hurricane of (what today I suppose we would call) “Cancel Culture”. Nowadays he’s got two daughters and is married to a headstrong Feminist. Tonight we discussed what happened (almost) ten years ago and his Mental Health campaigning.

Solo episode | Kanye "White Lives Matter" West likes Hitler, the Queen's BFF is an ignorant & problematic nightmare and Farage wants white cities. Just another week on this god-awful island. Can't we just round them all up and herd them into a field in Kent? We could call it Brexitland and let them run around, doing morris dancing and drinking shit ale
