Feb 2200:52:43Tap to summarizeA royal scandal for the ages ... but how much worse could the Mountbatten-Windsor meltdown get for the Royal Family? Spoiler: very. Join Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell for a particularly heavyweight Sunday School, featuring not just constitutional bedlam but potential chaos in the looming Gorton and Denton by-election.

The Shadow Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Feb 1901:03:50Tap to summarizeAs the real world is sweating over unemployment figures, especially among younger people, Farage unveils a 'shadow cabinet' that is nothing of the sort, and appears to have no solutions. Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell dive into the figures, and look at the broader economic outlook too – will lower inflation come to the rescue? ALSO, looking at the government's High Court defeat in the Palestine Action Group case, is it ime to reevaluate the balance between free speech and terrorist legislation? All that plus some Wokey Dokey action and a bleeding good Grin And Share It.

Sunday School: Colonised by Ignorance
Feb 1501:00:01Tap to summarizeBritain is making its strongest pivot yet towards Europe, with a suggested Defence Union that seems to go well beyond defence. Sir Jim Ratcliffe soils himself in public and only sort of apologises to anyone whose nose is "too sensitive". And Nigel Farage, the most flexible worker of all, has a hissy fit about flexible working. Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith discuss what needs discussing and ridicule what needs ridiculing. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • Check out our BLUESKY STARTER PACK, if you would like to join us there.

Transcribe →Quiet Riot: Sunday School - PETTY FASH
Aug 4, 2024Tap to summarizeNaomi and Alex talk about the Far Right riots up and down the UK, the extent to which they are an omen of worse things to come, or the final spasm of a faction of sore losers, the role disinformation has played, and what Starmer can do.Alex: “The far right have had a pretty bad year. The European election did not go their way in the mega-wave they thought, Modi lost his majority in India, Le Pen came third in France, Starmer won a landslide here, and now it looks as if Trump might even be in danger. It’s not a good moment for them and something about this feels like their final tantrum by the checkout.”Naomi: “The far right are always with us. They never go away. It is a fact of life. They have peaks in their activity and while this has been nowhere near as bad as it could be, you have to have constant and ever vigilance around those that seek to divide us.”Please take a minute to subscribe to the podcast, like, review and rate us, and share Quiet Riot pearls on social media because sharing is good, is it not?
