It's the free one!

Immigration and refugee issues specialist Zoe Gardner (@zoejardiniere) joins the gang to discuss Britain’s transformation from “quite a bit like Children of Men” to “just Children of Men literally.” We also talk about British columnist / politico Iraq War reflections, and a startup.

What drives me the most insane about that startup Shef is that people (women mostly but not exclusively) are ALREADY DOING THIS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR AN APP. Any time I'm anywhere on a highway I see people selling prepared food out of their vehicles, especially like tamales in the southwest US, this is already a thing. The only difference is that you can be taxed working through Shef.

It's The Jarring Shift In Tone one! What I find a bit more depressing than usual on this one, is that the heyday of the main topic already happened in my country in the early 00's. The politicians, the absolute inhumane way to treat migrants, and the constant media bombardment. And how was it ¿solved? . In no way, it still happens, yet they say it's mitigated by the "help" of the "friendly" African neighbour country. Someone in the UK looked at Spain and thought: THAT'S HOW.

The "I stopped these" trophy was actually Scott Morrison from his time as immigration minister and he had it from before he was PM 😬

Jacob Vardy

To answer the question, it was Scott Morrison who had the "I stopped these" boat trophy.

I saw a good video on ghost kitchens https://youtu.be/KkIkymh5Ayg, which talked about the difficulty of health inspectors being able to monitor safety standards at ghost kitchens. I assume this problem won't happen with selling food out of a bunch of random people's houses tho.

The Australian politician who had the little boat trophy saying "I stopped these" was none other than our former prime-minister scott Morrison Refugee policy has gotten a little better as the hysteria around the issue of "boat people" has died down, these days you'd be hard pressed to find a large number of people who have strong feelings about the issue. That's largely because the number of people who read Rupert Murdoch's papers has dropped dramatically in the last few years. The Labor party is doing *slightly* better now that they're in government, part of that is just a function of them running the bureaucracies better so people's claims don't take three fucking years to process though.

Girlboss on the NYC subway: “how can I make money off the churro lady?”

Not sure if I can listen to this one. Every time a reactionary gets elected, the liberals go "OMG, this white dude puts our country on the path to fascism", while I glance at the ongoing migrant crisis and think: "What do you mean with 'path'..."

Honestly the only take I have is that you can't respond to the kind of language used re: refugees "foreign criminals" etc with anything remotely polite. Left politician gets interviewed or it comes up in politics and they need to come back with maximum hostility. Labour telling Braverman to kill herself coz shes fucking scum. Journalist goes "What about the albanian criminal young men" "what about you choke on the rag you publish fuckwit"
