Summary

What will be sacrificed to protect self-designated Big Dog Boris Johnson: the BBC, migrants, a swathe of civil servants or our God-given right to get drunk at work? On the anniversary of Joe Biden’s accession to the US Presidency, has he already blown it? And is Russia really going to invade Ukraine? Special guest and legend of investigative journalism John Sweeney – of Panorama, Newsnight and the Hunting Ghislaine podcast fame – explains it all… and tells us about the time he ate kebabs in a mammoth museum with Vladimir Putin. “Having a Royal Family puts a lot of dead-end, right wing rubbish in the cul-de-sac. All they need to do is keep their noses clean.” – John Sweeney “You should throw the red meat to the dog, not the other way around.” – Marie le Conte “The worst thing about the BBC is that faced with the Bullingdon approach they go straight into pre-cringe, cowering mode.” – John Sweeney “We’re seeing the Bullingdonisation of British society – where you never get caught and you never pay the consequences.” – Arthur Snell “When I met Putin his face was plastic, like one of the Autons from Doctor Who.” – John Sweeney “I thought, Oh God, I’m going to projectile vomit over Vladimir Putin.” – John Sweeney Written and presented by Ros Taylor with Marie le Conte and Arthur Snell. Producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic . Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. Group editor: Andrew Harrison. The Bunker is a Podmasters production.
