really disappointed to hear this podcast as they all sound so smug as if regurgitating what the media has been spouting or telling us what BS polls say means anything to anyone who believes they can do something about the current situation, I expected much more informed on the ground thinking about how best to make a change by voting for the parties that will remove the Tory majority. They sound like smart ass over educated kids… ‘rhetorical tanks on Labour’s lawn’ for F’s sake. Sounds cool, but is just media sound bite speak. Maybe I expected too much and had hoped to be inspired by this podcast to share it with young people who are amongst the many gropus who cold make a difference.
