Rigged System The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast
-
- Nature
No filters, just a brutally honest conversation, between hosts Stuart and William, as they head off on another meandering, insightful conversation, scrutinising another listener question, from Alan in Northway, Oxford, England.
"Is the system rigged against the ordinary woman and man in the street? Maintaining the status quo, and the old boys network, with the balance skewed in favour of our leaders, policy makers, and those with vested interests?
The latest London mayoral elections is possible an example, in that it's too expensive for a member of the public to stand. I've heard that it costs £30,000 to even get on the ballot paper.
Black Lives Matter motivated a report by the UK government, that said there's no systemic racism. The report claims to have found well meaning protestors just see problems where there aren't any. So with this in mind, if the system and the government commissioned the report, isn't it always going to find the answer that suits the system, and the government?
Nothing is resolved until hard truths are faced."
