As England prepare to lose to Spain and Colombia prepare to defeat Argentina, we speak with Colombian-English and Mexico-based journalist with El Pais, Nicholas Dale Leal. Don’t worry, football barely gets a mention. We discuss the failed coup in Bolivia, the upcoming (rigged?) elections in Venezuela and the latest immigration cruelty in Panama

CW: This podcast plays out with a song that all decent people will find offensive.

A lot has happened since we last spoke to Vice-Deputy Leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party, Joao Pina. From a case of political corruption that never was, to losing their governing majority and on to winning big in the EU elections. So we had a lot to talk about. The news isn't all good, but the fight goes on.

We do regular member-only podcasts for our tortoise shack community. They urged us to put this one out on public release. So against my better judgement here is our discussion on Sinn Féin’s review into their electoral failures and their new "listening" economic-unit strategy.

Then we discuss the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and what it says about America, the types of acceptable violence, partisan media and a polarised society.
