Summary

We live in a blessed time, a truly wise era of human history in which Kylie Jenner’s cosmetics front company is somehow valued at $1 billion USD. Now, this is not a good thing, and special guest James Meadway (@meadwaj) -- an economist, writer, and former adviser to John McDonnell MP -- explains why this is just one symptom of the morass in which we find ourselves, and why recovering an oppositional style of politics is more important than ever. This episode features all of the Trash lads -- Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Nate (@inthesedeserts), and including James this makes for 5 dudes in one room. As Hussein explains during the episode, this is a crucial limit. Please bear in mind that your favourite moron lads have a Patreon now. You too can support us here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture/overview — and if you do, you’ll gain access to our Discord server, where you can talk about soup with us all day. *COMEDY KLAXON*: On March 13 at 8pm, Milo will host another Smoke Comedy at the Sekforde (34 Sekforde Street London EC1R 0HA). This show costs £5 and will feature all new material from Tania Edwards, Chloe Petts, Dimitri Bakanov, and Raph Wakefield. Get tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/smoke-comedy-with-tania-edwards-tickets-56285827425 Also: you can commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from http://www.lilcomrade.com/, and what’s more, it’s mandatory if you want to be taken seriously. Do you want a mug to hold your soup? Perhaps you want one with the Trashfuture logo, which is available here: https://teespring.com/what-if-phone-cops#pid=659&cid=102968&sid=front

Responding to an article where schools and staff are making parents pay for books,

Jeremy Corbin had the following to say.

0:07.3

Austerity is a political choice, not an economic necessity,

0:10.8

and a generation of children are paying the price.

0:14.0

Anyone have any reactions to that particular sentiment?

0:18.0

That's true.

0:20.0

Seems pretty true. It's stating obvious, you know, this kind of...

exception. And this is what James O'Brien points out is that really what Jeremy Corbyn should have said is

is paying the price. Damn. Looks like we lost another one, fellas, to author of How to Be Right, James

But he's not even right.

Like they're just both acceptable English leases.

1:09.0

1:11.5

You can say a generation are paying the price because it's implying a generation of people.
