Hi,
Twenty Minute Topic 19: Brexit- The Farce Continues …
Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.


In this series journalist Marcus Stead and veteran campaigner and blogger, Greg Lance-Watkins discuss big issues affecting all our lives over a twenty minute period.
In this 16th. episode:
Twenty Minute Topic – Topic 19 …
This week, Marcus Stead and Greg Lance-Watkins discuss & assess:
The Brexit 17.4 million people voted for in June 2016 has still not been delivered.
On Saturday, the House of Commons put yet more obstacles in the way of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union.
Marcus Stead and Greg Lance-Watkins take stock of the situation. Have we now reached the stage where it’s ‘Parliament versus the people’?
The topic is clearly one of speculation and immediacy, but as you will have noted Marcus and I are willing to predict the future as a means to encourage people to think ‘outside of the box’ and broaden their horizons beyond media propaganda and political posturing of the protagonists – Think beyond ‘Group Think’!
As in so many areas of life, once one has let the Gene out of the lamp it is nigh impossible to force it back in. I am minded of the old and well worn political adage:
“If you open a can of worms make sure first you have a larger can!”
At the start of what is certain to be, yet again, a dramatic week in British political history, Marcus Stead and Greg Lance-Watkins take stock of the situation as it currently stands.
Boris Johnson has been granted the Brexit extension he didn’t want, and Jeremy Corbyn turned down the chance to trigger the general election he’s been calling for all year. But come Tuesday evening, we could be in election mode!
Marcus Stead and Greg Lance-Watkins try to make sense of it all, and address issues that were raised during Monday’s debate in Parliament:
Should 16-year-olds be allowed to vote?
Should university students be allowed to vote in the city where they’re studying, even though they only live in the area part-time and are likely to leave once they graduate
And should the Brexit Party enter into electoral pacts with pro-Brexit candidates in an upcoming election?
If you have a topic you believe would be of interest to our growing worldwide audience, we would welcome your suggestions.
Thank you for listening and particularly for any helpful feedback you can give to improve our service.
Regards,
Greg_L-W.
