episode 49: Foreign Sec’s On The Beach
As Dominic Raab tries to get his deposit back from Tui, we ask how he got here and what he wants. Meanwhile the pandemic recedes, exposing supply chains and worker pools dangerously denuded by Brexit – meaning empty shelves, shuttered shops, care homes without carers, and missing milkshakes at McDonald’s. How is the Government going to get out of this one? Our special guest is Independent sketchwriter Tom Peck.
- “If you’re fleeing the Taliban, you don’t have time to fill in a form and wait for a Government to protect you.” – Minnie Rahman
- “If we have a crap Christmas there will be plenty of Brexiteers saying this is what a REAL Christmas looks like.”– Tom Peck
- “Brexit has created a new kind of brain drain, an EXPERIENCE drain, and it’s going to be a big drag on the British economy for years to come.”– Alex Andreou
- “People will regret throwing their milkshakes at Nigel Farage now they can’t get another one…”– Tom Peck
