Rearranging the Deck Chairs

Britain is on its seventh prime minister since bidding adieu to the EU a decade back. There's news of once-unimaginable crimes and ethnic strife, and even preeminent citizens like scholar-slash-philanthropist-slash-world-class athlete Jason Arday are having a hard go of it. For the lowdown on the British political crisis, we're joined by our new pal Dominic Green, historian and commentator. Plus, the regular hosty blokes see plenty of problems on our side of the pond, especially after the DSA proves that they can win statewide primaries outside coastal enclaves. But there's always plenty to be cheery about: like do-it-yourself burritos, roaring roller coasters, and albums so familiar that you can spot the covers from miles away. Opening sound this week: Hasan Piker says, “(Screw) Black people!” James Carville says “I’m outta here” to Fox News, and UK MP Rupert Lowe says, “Everybody has to go!”Closing music: "God Save the Queen," by Ian Post (via MotionArray)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ricochet-podcast--5817275/support.
