I'm Motherl Edwards, as you all know, and I'm joined as ever by my co-host, Nate Forthay.

Hello, glad to be back to discuss our favorite island, the island we can't escape.

The world's greatest island. An island run by people who know what they're doing.

That's our advertising position to the world.

And this time, we wanted to talk about not just the island itself but the things that we've

built on this island the buildings that we inhabit as British people the cursed architecture

if you will of Great Britain and for that reason we're joined by India Block India how you doing

hi I'm great I'm so happy to be stuck on Racist Island, the green and pleasant land with the gray and

horrid architecture.

I'm going to say, Alice always says the UK is a country with sick building syndrome, but

we also invented sick building syndrome by making so many sick buildings.

So, and not sick in the Southern California skateboarder way, but in the actual literal sense.

Yeah.

And the reason we wanted to talk about this is because I think a question that's often played on

my mind and also on Nate's mind is, why do British houses look like such total shit?

Because you may remember from the Corbin era, which is now kind of a sort of horn to logical

period in British political history, like a brief chink of light in the otherwise

eternal darkness, that, you know, journalists would often camp outside Jeremy Corbin's

terraced house in Islington, and they would shout at him as he returned from buying milk, dressed in a polyester shell suit, and looking, to all intents and purposes, like it spent a morning drinking roddles and praying the fruit machines down at Weatherspoons. Now, invariably, what they were shouting was along the lines of, Mr. Corbyn, you claim to be a socialist, and yet you live in a million-pound house. Now, there was one floor in this line of attack, which was that Jeremy Corbyn's house looks

like total shit.

It is a quite small 1970s yellow brick house with these horrible PVC panels and windows.

And the question it really raised was, why is this house worth one million pounds?
