Come with us to a small, derelict field just outside London where - thanks to a truly horrific combination of incompetence, malevolence, and greed - local citizens suffer what they must while everyone with power and money passes the buck or pretends the underground cancer fires aren't anything to worry about. In any normal country, there would be public hearings, major reforms, and a well-funded cleanup job. But this is Britain.

E368 - Arrested Malevolent

E367 - Operation oMAHA
In the news this week: Labour suck. But it's not just them, everyone is at it to some extent. Also Rob is on holiday but he left us a wonderful gift that barely gave Jamie an aneurysm at all :)

E365 - Teenage Student Debtor Hurdles
It's a delightful little cheeseboard of festering news this week! Come for the godawful startup that broke Rob, stay for the getting big mad at Labour and the way they keep laying tracks in front of fascists like a Wallace and Gromit tribute.
