Summary

It’s been a hellish week for our Disunited Kingdom. First Tommy Robinson mobilised ten of thousands in his ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march. Before we could recover from that toxic side show, the headline act arrived: President Trump. He was kept behind a ring of steel in Windsor where he enjoyed British brown nosing at its best from flatterers-in-chief, the Royal Family. What a state we’re in. Coco and Nish reflect on what they learned about their fellow Brits this week and the conclusion is scary. But before they abandon hope there was another march. Thousands of ‘Stop Trump’ protestors came out onto the streets of London - to hear from a range of the UK’s loudest progressive voices, from Zarah Sultana, to Zack Polanski and Jeremy Corbyn. Two protests, two faces of Britain. Can we ever bridge the divide? Finally - to round off the show, an injection of hope. Josie Naughton CEO of charity ‘Choose Love’ joins the pod to show us that there definitely is a way through this.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Pod Save the UK. I'm Nish Kumar. And I'm Cocoa Khan and this week we're talking about
0:07.3	Tommy Robinson, actually sorry, his full name, convicted stalker Tommy Robinson's far right rally.
0:12.3	Well, his full name is actually convicted stalker Stephen Yaxley-Lennon's Far Right Rally.
0:17.9	But yes, we'll be talking about that and talking about the seeming breakdown
0:22.6	of social cohesion in the United Kingdom and what we can possibly do about it. And of course,
0:26.7	we have to talk about the political fallout for Stama after firing our ambassador to the US,
0:32.0	Peter Mandelson. And speaking of the US, Donald Trump is in town and I'm going down to meet
0:36.8	some of the people protesting against his reign of terror.
0:40.1	And later, we're going to channel some positivity with the founder of Choose Love, Josie Norton.
0:49.8	Well, listen, elephant in the room.
0:52.1	We are not in our studio. No. Let's just get it all out on the table. Right. We sometimes record this out of order. The magic of the media. So we interviewed Josie, which you will hear later, which is an absolutely brilliant conversation. And then as soon as the interview finished, all of the power in the studio went out because of what I believe to be
1:11.1	a deep state conspiracy. Yes, they wanted to cut off our radical left podcast. We were about
1:17.7	to name names in the Epstein files. So now we have decamped to a pub, which actually I would
1:22.7	like to say that if this was 30P Lee and Nigel Farage, they would be choosing to be in a pub.
1:27.2	So actually, this is maybe an opportunity for us,
1:29.8	a cricutinity for listeners to the podcast of recent episodes.
1:33.3	Yes.
1:34.4	Unlike politicians doing a photo op in a pub, though,
1:37.2	it's half-past midday,
1:38.6	and I cannot stomach a pint of real aid While the clock still reads 12.
1:45.1	It was on the way here when we were leaving our now in darkness studio to come here to the pub.
1:50.7	Because of the deep state conspiracy.
