Ep.156 - The Rich And The Powerful

On Ep.156 of WG: Jed Mercurio is charging £80 for his Screenwriting knowledge, the rich and powerful abusing privilege, Priti Patel continues to be a demon and Nadine Dorries is performing slow-cooked cultural terrorism.
In a week where:
  1. Prince Andrew is now just Andrew after getting stripped of his Royal & Military titles.
  2. Australia rejects Novak Djokovic's visa again and deports him.
  3. A volcano in Tonga erupts and causes a tsunami.
  4. BBC license fee will be frozen and scrapped in 2027.
  5. All UK COVID restrictions could end in March.
In the first of two Film/TV segments: (3:41) Jed Mercurio, best known for spearheading "Line Of Duty" is charging £80 for his BBC Maestro lessons. Is it worth it?

In Society: (17:11) The rich and powerful, we know them, we may even love a select few of them. But one thing is for sure, they LOVE to abuse their privilege.

In Politics: (30:24) Priti Patel continues to be a demon as the Police Bill still looms over us all. It's now gotten to the point where Patel is using the LGBTQ+ community to make the bill look more palatable.

Lastly, in the 2nd Film/TV segment: (47:28) Nadine Dorries is performing slow-cooked cultural terrorism as she announces the BBC License fee will be frozen for two years and could be scrapped by 2027. So by the end of the decade, we genuinely could lose the NHS & the BBC.
