Local Election Special - The LibDempire Strikes Back

Local Election Special - The LibDempire Strikes Back

Presented by Wine Merchant Alex McNair, joined by Trainee Solicitor Aaron Matthews, PR Consultant George Beard, and IT Consultant James Brooke, the £1.92 Committee is a podcast where four disenfranchised millenial snowflakes give their semi-informed opinions on the major issues shaping the political discourse in the UK.   Recorded on Sunday 05 May 2019, this weeks' episode analyses the fallout from the Local Elections and the mental gymnastics involved in viewing it as anything other than a good result for Remain parties. We take a somber look back at the events in Northern Ireland shortly before Easter and assess the political shortcomings which the tragic killing of journalist Lyra McKee by Dissident Republican paramiliataries has brought into focus. Finally, we look at the impact of Climate Change protest group Extinction Rebellion, and ask whether we are taking the potential destruction of the human species, seriously enough.
