A Very British Social Murder
It's the free one!
For this week’s free one, Riley, Hussein, and November discuss the recent Grenfell enquiry and the way in which it lays the blame across a comprehensive spectrum of British political elites—but also discuss who’s actually going to be held liable for it. And given the track record of recent British courts of enquiry, it seems zero is a safe bet.

It's the bleak one!
Scratch and sniff lottery tickets were done in Futurama
you guys got it completely wrong, *the* boomer email move is to use the one supplied by their job or their telco. sometimes I talk to my dad via his @videotron dot ca account
I think picking the first two of the "Three Little Pig's" wasn't the greatest thing for Londons public safety committees
what bothered me so much about the BBC article is that they say in it that only 1% is on display which is true, because BMAG is closed for a refurb, which the article deliberately doesn't mention. as well as being neolib ghouls they are just actively hostile to Birmingham in general tbh
The main thing a lot of people are missing about Birmingham City Council’s financial woes were they were scammed out of millions of pounds by Oracle https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366572935/Birmingham-City-Councils-Oracle-implementation-explained-What-went-wrong
Lovely, fiery episode.
On another note, I will be very, very disappointed not to hear at least a segment, if not an entire episode on the latest Adrian Chiles article, which is a perfect masterpiece.
I thought I was getting Mandela effected by "turbulent priest" (I have only heard "meddlesome"), but what do you know, there is no audio transcript and both are used.
Lord Pickles sounds like a whimsical name for a cat. Is he meant to be taken seriously?
On the one hand, I want to hate on Pre-Raphaelite art, but, on the other, I do enjoy redheads in very sheer outfits.
all labour ministries have three key figures: one to read reports, one to implement them, and one to keep an eye on the two intellectuals
And not one of them knows how to change the lightbulb
This disdain for people having nice things like art and museums is strong in labour run cardiff as well, apparently we shouldn’t be allowed a museum in our capital city.
Hussein on fire today. To add about the language of power and feint helplessness: I remember throwing the TV remote across the room when I watched the press conference of the recent floods in germany. The politician acted like a priest. Talking about 'thoughts and prayers' only. *! & $ thoughts and prayers do not help when your friends and family are drowning. The dark thoughts I had was, well, at least the government pretended to mourn them. That's still more than any palestinian got.
Whomst is zero and why are they going to be held liable for Grenfell?
Places outside London should have art too. Pre-Raphaelites are as tiresome as the Impressionists. Simple as.
Looking forward to unwind with a lighter episode of the show
Oh god Birmingham City Council are mentioned I think I might genuinely have a coronary incident. Saving this one for the day right before my self care day
While the Dunkaccino ad is an in universe ad in Jack and Jill performed by a fictionalised version of Al Pacino, Dunkaccino was a real thing at Dunkin' and the production of Jack and Jill presumably was well paid by them for it, so I think it's still fair to consider it a real ad.
