Summary

For this week's bonus, Riley, Hussein, and November discuss some recent UK news where one of Britain's most tendentious morons has been trying to claim that the Met Police are in cahoots with Hamas somehow and people are expected to take this seriously. We also discuss recent Tory and Labour talking points about replacing sick notes with apps and how apparently people on Statutory Sick Pay have had it too good for too long. This episode nearly broke November and also prompted her to call Hussein 'the South London Guy de Maupassant,' so you'll have to take the good with the bad.

0:06.4

we've been living in since 2009 or 10 or so has reduced the security that you can feel

0:12.5

in your housing. It's reduced the security you can feel in your health. You can no longer be

0:16.2

confident that if you're injured, you're going to get seen by someone. You can no longer be

0:19.7

confident necessarily that you're going to live today or tomorrow where you did today. You could no longer be confident that you're going to get seen by someone. You can no longer be confident necessarily that you're going to live today,

0:22.0

tomorrow, where you did today.

0:23.5

You can no longer be confident that you're going to get the hours of work you're going to get today.

0:26.9

You can no longer be confident that the food that you buy to feed yourself and your family

0:30.8

is going to cost the same.

0:32.2

And that those hours that you were going to get, those can go up and down.

0:34.9

The food prices seem to go up. And then at the, and so your capacity, the slack in people's lives is getting much, much, much

0:42.3

much less. And so then it's, it's, you know, you know that they're doing this cynically,

0:46.4

but it's frustrating nevertheless to see like conservative politicians and also labor

1:04.0

to sign fewer of them off with mental illness and just assume a higher level of endemic mental illness in the economy.

1:09.0

Well, yeah, not just like how did this happen, but also, as you say, what the remedy has

1:13.7

to be, right? Because there isn't like an obvious known answer to all of these problems,

1:20.3

which is public sector investment, and also maybe giving people a tiny little bit of hope

1:25.5

that this isn't going to be such a dismal place to live for the rest of their lives.

1:29.3

And we'd like roundly rejected both of those.
