Where did this toxic idea that crying should 'do' something, come from. It's a normal human response. More poisonous emotional capitalism, expecting everything to 'earn its keep.'

That would be the action of someone wanting to be good at their job. As opposed to being good at sucking up.

I listen to his pod with Steve Richards, Miranda Green and Iain Martin and finally last week Miranda took him to task for the racist ILTR policy which him primly tried to defend. But it a rare event. Yes everyone is far too polite to him.

Or a discussion of the real traitors in the country. Reform-ers selling out to russia et al. Also totally absent.

SO much news. Zach Polanski floated a policy of abolishing landlords a few days ago. Extreme maybe, but worthy of discussion. Zero anywhere on Radio 4 that I've heard.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I know people are shocked to hear Robert Jenrick saying explicitly racist things when he thought he was not being recorded, but if you have been paying even superficial attention for the last couple of years, you surely cannot be surprised.

Jenrick has been an out and out racist for a long time now, so his open support for racist far right accounts on Twitter and other social media should surprise no one.
