Podaganda

A weekly show from journalists Steve Sweeney, Ben Cowles and their Morning Star comrades, Podaganda is the podcast the corporate media warned you about: It's adversarial, sweary and profoundly left-wing.

  2. Standing up to Nato and the pro-Israeli settlement charity

Standing up to Nato and the pro-Israeli settlement charity

Dec 6, 2019

IN this episode, Ben Cowles is joined by fellow journalists Ceren Sagir and Bethany Rielly to discuss:

 

  • The general election so far: The polls, the Lib Dems’ lies, Elizabeth Winsdor’s (aka the queen) speech fiasco, Tory Islamophobia (1:50) 
  • This week’s anti-Nato protests (10:03)
  • And the pro-Israeli settlements charity which held a meeting in London this week (18:32)

 

As always, brace yourself for profoundly left-wing views and plenty of bad language
