Hello, Guilty Feminist. This is Deborah. We're busy making new episodes for you, but in the meantime, we're going back to the archives for this incredible show from 2018, talking about the wind rush generation. Seven years on, and this episode is more relevant than ever, and we must always remember the scandal at the heart of this appalling story, which speaks to the callousness and racism inherent in the structures

0:21.4

of British government. But this episode is also about the importance of free and fair reporting

0:26.0

and the power it has. One of my strongest memories of this night is Dana Alexander's stand-up,

0:31.8

which is not for the faint-hearted and plays heavily with themes of race and slavery, but really has

0:37.1

an impact. This episode was recorded

0:39.1

at Barbican in London, always one of my favourite places to play. I'm really missing doing more

0:45.3

live shows, and so I'm very excited that I'll be back out on my book tour in late March and

0:51.4

early April. If you're in the UK, I will be coming to a theatre near you,

0:55.8

and you can find out where and buy tickets, which includes a signed copy of the book,

1:08.9

flammable conversations of our rage.

1:16.1

It's quite a brave step for me, this book I have to say, but I got to the point with the work I was doing that I couldn't continue unless I spoke out on some of these issues. I really, really

1:22.3

hope that you can come along. The shows are going to be really exciting and thought-provoking.

1:31.5

brand-new episode.

I'm a feminist, but... I would snog a men's rights activist for four minutes

1:59.0

if it meant I got to snog John Hamm for two.

2:05.1

I'm a feminist but when I go for my smear test and the nurses getting all her medieval

2:12.7

equipment ready I quickly tuck my labia in.

2:20.3

Okay. ready, I quickly tuck my labia in. Every time.

2:26.3

I am a feminist, but I play hard to get, even though I know it confuses consent,
