Summary

Now that cheese sandwiches, Heinz beans and swimming in poo-free water are officially luxuries, have we reached Peak We Had It Hard When I Were A Lad? New figures show that our anti-migration government has managed to, er, double migration to the UK. How will Sunak get out of that? Plus our panel discusses a new survey which says a third of us are too tired to get fit. Comic writer John O’Farrell of the We Are History podcast is our special guest. Listen to We Are History: https://link.chtbl.com/WAHogwn “They can’t say the Brexit word so they blame Ukraine and the poor people.” – John O’Farrell “The Tories could well talk themselves into a doomloop where their message is ‘Everything is sh-t – vote for us’.” – Rachel Cunliffe “Even if a cheese sandwich was a luxury, why are we not even allowed luxuries these days?” – Jacob Jarvis “We shouldn’t be nostalgic about suffering.” – John O’Farrell www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Managing Editor Jacob Jarvis with Yasmeen Serhan, Rachel Cunliffe and John O’Farrell. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison Producer: Alex Rees and Chris Jones. Audio production by Alex Rees. OH GOD, WHAT NOW? is a Podmasters production. Learn more about your ad choices.
