Ep.108 - Capitol Coup, New Cross Fire & Free School Meals
On Ep.108: The US went "Full America", The New Cross Fire at 40, games are more influential than music & families get shafted with the worst free school meals.
In a week where:
- Several Social Media platforms suspend T**** to varying degrees.
- Japan suffer surge in COVID-19 cases, casting doubt on the Olympics.
- 12 people get arrested in Clapham Common as another anti-lockdown protest comes & goes.
- Social Media app Parler goes offline after blacklisting from Apple, Google & Amazon
- UK passes 100k COVID-19 deaths.
In the first of three Life segments: (8:53) America went "Full America" and you never go "Full America". But whilst the initial event contained plenty of shocking moments, a week removed from it gives me more the feeling of "Yea, that's America in a nutshell".
In the second Life segment: (27:04) On the 18th January, it'll be the 40th anniversary of The New Cross Fire and I felt it was worth telling the story and linking it to what could happen in the future.
In Music: (38:15) I never thought about the one cultural force that influences kids. But for decades it has been music. Now, it may be video games and I have no idea how to process that.
In the final Life segment: (53:57) The government fails once again. This time, it's families that have Free School Meals. They have been given terrible quality food and it dumbfounds me at how inept this government is.
