Polanski, Protests & A Very Heated Week
5/5/202653 min
It’s been one of those weeks where the temperature of public discourse didn’t just rise, it boiled over.
Marina and Jemma both appeared on daytime TV in the immediate aftermath of the Golders Green attacks. Emotions were already running high, details were still emerging, and the pressure to say the “right” thing while not saying the “wrong” thing was intense.
They talk about the subsequent social media reaction and how the media are reporting things more broadly. Why do the Tories and Labour think it's OK to ban pro Palestine marches whilst still allowing the Tommy Robinson ones to continue? What is being focused on, what isn't and why that might be? Meanwhile, politicians of all flavours are targeting Zack Polanski over an inadvisable retweet and there are fresh calls to shut down pro-Palestine marches. When the facts are still emerging, why does the narrative lock in so fast?
Pudding is an exasperated Jonathan Pie ranting appropriately ahead of the council elections - Enjoy!

Let that sink in. It's a bank built to make you money, not just take your money. Sound unrealistic? Don't just take it from me. Take it from the over 600,000 other Canadians earning high interest and paying no fees on everyday banking. Like, not right now. I can't just wrangle over half a million people like that. That'd be unrealistic. But a bank helping you make bank? Yeah, that's EQ Bank.

Oh my God, I hate these ads so much, but I'm Tranna Wintour. You might recognize me from The Traitors, and I have a new podcast. It's called The Blank List, where every week we create a top five list for a category ranging from most famous people alive to craziest things that have ever happened. This is the dumbest podcast that's ever been made, but you're gonna listen to it, and you're gonna love it because you're also kinda dumb. The Blank List is available wherever you get your podcasts.
