Description

You probably think this title is an exaggeration, that my contempt for the Tories is sending me over the top. But no. In response to nurses - and rail workers, and teachers, and other key workers - being driven to such despair that they strike, the Tories have finally come up with a response: to sack them. But it won't just be our nurses and other pillars of society who will pay the price - we all will.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

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.
