Summary

In this week’s episode, host Steve Anglesey delves into the shortage of lorry drivers that has led to supply line issues around the country - if you're heading to a pub beer garden this bank holiday, you may need to think twice about what beer you order - it might not be on offer. Journalist, writer and filmmaker Paul Mason joins the podcast to discuss how to stop fascism, from Poland to the US. How do people become radicalised online so quickly and how can anonymity and pseudonymity cause more harm than good? These are all questions Paul tackles. Finally, John Redwood, Ann Widdecombe, and Dominic Raab all feature in the hall of shame this week. Enjoyed this episode and the podcast's new shorter, snappier format?
