Summary

As the Coronavirus bites, the government decides it’s a good time to cut us off from the EU Pandemic Warning system. PLUS: who makes the Nazis? HOPE Not Hate’s Nick Lowles on how Brexit rolled out the carpet for the extreme right, up to and including actual Nazi Satanists. Red tape bad, blue tape good: the 50,000 customs officers nobody asked for. And how mad do you have to be to think that No.10 loves the Priti Patel scandal because it keeps the Russia report quiet? ”The reason the traditional far right is so weak is that you’ve got people in the very centre of politics saying exactly the things they used to say.” – Nick Lowles Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt.
