Sunday School: The heat is on

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent Golders Green attack, its political implications, and the potential impact of El Niño on social unrest.

This week's Golders Green attack resurfaced some deeply disturbing prejudices and raised the political temperature too. Alex and Kenny look at the facts as they stand and analyse the political reaction to a tinderbox issue. And, with temperatures rising literally as well as metaphorically, they turn their attention to the looming El Niño impact, and ask if hotter summers make for violent protests. Plus Angela Rayner has a pint and gets hammered (by the press). Is it because she's (insert own theory here). nb answer is probably Yes. ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** • If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol issues, Drinkaware can help • Climate clip from 'The Day The Earth Caught Fire' • You can listen to Alex's new ⁠⁠⁠Podyssey Storytime, on Arachne the Spider Woman, here⁠⁠⁠.
