    Just saying, Venizelos funded and supported the Triple E(National Union of Hellas), and supported the Pogrom at Campbell in 1931. in 1933 it was planned for him an Plastiras to coup the government and install a Mussolini type Dictatorship, but Venizelos said it wasn't worth it. Venizelos' history is pretty dark after 1923 where he blamed the loss of the Anatolian Campaign to the Jews since the Jews didn't like him and always voted against him, which was one of the reasons why he funded the Triple E. Like, if people actually sit down and learn about Venizelos, the guy was ready to march into Athens in ww1 and kill all the royal family but Britain told him to chill. Dude is a menace...

    Professor Helm was alarmingly effective in highlighting the gap between reality and the general understanding of the situation we are in. Alastair's reaction beautifully highlighted this, together with our democracy's difficulty in tackling it. Probably the most important podcast our duo has produced, yet as one of their keenest viewers I have only now come across it. The lack of reaction to it highlighted below is very worrying

    It's profoundly irritating to hear no reference to the interference, lies, and electoral crimes committed did not inform the country about the reality they were voting against own interests. Freedom of movement was not in jeapordy when they voted. Leaving the single market was never on the ticket. That's what grips.

    the big difference, Rory and Alastair, between Greece and the UK is that the Greeks have embraced their European identity and are comfortable in their skin about identifying as European while remaining as Greek as they could be. The British remain, as usual, as insular and parochial as ever, which is a great surprise and letdown considering their imperial past. Ultimately, it is a question of MENTALITIES...

    The claim that the extremes of politics create grievance with no solutions is only partly true. Centrist politicians claim too be three grown ups in the room but Centrism is just a form of conservatism which is good for incremental chamber in the name of sensiblism. But there family in poverty because of the two child capo won't applaud the centrists sensibilsm. Nor will people who see utility companies make records profits whilst service crumbles. Centrism claims the mantle of sensible but that's true only sometimes

  • @Blahblahblahworlds

    She's been allowed to get away with so much unchallenged because she's basically being fanboyed by the presenters. Nasty independents?? Whatever side your on, you cannot her slowed to say that without challenge especially when the "Nasty independents" aren't there to reply. Horse shoe theory of political spectrum? It's rubbish and has been rubbished. But since everyone in that room is a centrist, none of them are going to take Nandy to task over the appalling dirty tricks played by her faction in 17 which are well documented including in the Forde report.

    Keep your beating heart and soul on promoting the Arts too. Only the last 10 mins on music, arts and the theatre. Look how that PO drama at last got the focus and the action on that dreadful episode of miscarriage of justice. Press your colleague Bridget to get music and performance arts accessible in every school. Set that framework within your ‘Culture‘ brief. Yes. Please wax lyrical about the theatre and get those musicians on tour again. Get the arts properly funded. What a brilliant episode here. Well done all.

    It is important to promise new funding and attention to the arts, but they are still hideously underfunded - even in London. Society can neither thrive nor survive without the arts, yet it has always been at the very bottom of the agenda of parliament for decades now. Theatre, art galleries, ballet, opera and the classical music scene in particular are neither understood by most ministers nor given any attention to, and so many organisations are crumbling or are having to (or forced to by government) to relocate. Its all well and good to say you'll fix something, but I don't see an action plan when it comes to this. It needs to be rectified during this parliament.
