Hello and welcome to ACFM, the home of the Weird Left.

My name is Keir Milben and today I'm joined by my very careful friends Nadia Eidl and Jeremy

Hello.

And today we're talking about Keir.

So I can't remember who thought of this topic actually, I think it's one that might have

emerged organically as we were talking but we always start with this question, why is

it come up, why are we talking about Keir now, why is Keir at the issue, one of the issues

of the time?

Well, partly it's because it's something people are talking about quite a lot, there's

been some very interesting books published about it, but I think that's the culmination

of the history of people talking about this issue quite a lot over the past 10 years

or so, what do you think Nadia?

I think it's something that we want to talk about because we're in general, I would say,

we're a group of people who care about other people and we care about people being cared

for, but also the politics of care is a really interesting one and something that I think

we've all been in some way involved in in the various different political groupings that

we've been in over the last few years.

And also because with the trends of the last 15 years, I think it's safe to say that people

don't feel cared for, so it would be interesting to kind of deconstruct what those different forms

of care are, why people are talking about it now, like you both said, but also what that

means and in a practical sense, like where are those spaces in which care takes place
