Ep.181 - Rwanda & Grenfell, 5 Years On
On Ep.181 of WG: Asylum seekers being shipped to Rwanda, Batman & Scotland Yard saving Spotify, Dating Apps dying & Grenfell, five years on.
In a week where:

- A former British soldier has died fighting Russian forces.
- British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira go missing in Brazil.
- Queen Elizabeth II becomes the 2nd longest reigning monarch.
- Scotland will make another attempt for independence.
In Society: (6:44) The UK take a blow in their effort to ship asylum seekers to Rwanda. Activists, protestors and even the EU's best efforts have halted the first flight but this creates a new low for UK domestic affairs.
In the 1st of two Life segments: (18:58) It has been five years since the Grenfell Tower fire. Still no justice for the lives lost, still slowly moving through the meat grinder that is the UK Justice System.
In Podcasting: (33:50) Spotify has been going through it on the podcast front. But the source of relief for Spotify from the Joe Rogan fallout come from unlikely places. Batman & Scotland Yard.
