Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

This is the way.
Not lost, deliberately buried or distorted.
We should be learning from other countries...
One thing I will admit.
You can’t fault the enthusiasm and positivity of Reform’s local election campaign.
And their message is getting through as loveable Lee Anderson found out recently.
The electorate are really beginning to understand what Reform UK are all about.

When we appointed Hannah we were accused of a publicity stunt by some - which is classic (sexist attitude), the assumption being Hannah couldn’t possibly have got the job on merit.
That’s the attitude we need to end.

I wanted to make a video about the wonderful world of Indian advertising from the 80s and early 90s. The hard bit was to find music that had enough of a beat - a lot of the classic Indian music was hard to edit to, but then...just as I gave up home, I found this beauty and got to work.
Jai Hind!

The late Tony Benn set out five questions about power. In his final speech to the House of Commons he said that on meeting any powerful person, one should always ask: What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?
"How can we get rid of you?"

Without doubt the video I spent the most time editing, probably a full day.
And it’s all about videos…and radios, plus a bit of internet.
