    Description

    After falsely claiming their officers had been seriously injured, Bristol police brutally assaulted protesters and journalists during a demonstration against the repressive Policing Bill.We're joined live by Adam Cantwell-Corn from The Bristol Cable and Ben Smoke from Huck Magazine - both of whom were eyewitnesses - as well as protester Louis, and discuss what this means for Britain's continuing slide into authoritarianism as most of the media parrot false police claims.We're also joined by Kieran Glasssmith, recently deselected as a Bristol Labour candidate for criticising Keir Starmer.Please help us take on the right wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

    Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
