Just listened to this weeks episode “because there’s nothing else to do”. Oh my, where do I start!? Sure, the result of our recent referendum has left many Brits wondering what on earth went on, and whats going to happen now. BUT… For an American to criticise the state of our politics when theres Trump & Clinton battling away in the States, and to comment on the shooting of an MP by a nutter is outrageous! The show was completely twisted (UKIP are very much a minority party, their beloved Farage failed to get a seat in parliament), so why focus so much on them?
I am disappointed about this shallow reporting. Very single sided and playing the simple fascism card… It seems your repeating main stream media. Boring. I liked your work on technology changing the world. But this is not on that standard.
