Bold Politics with Zack Polanski
How To Platform Socialist Ideas Through Billionaire Owned Channels | George Monbiot | Zack Polanski
How is the government weaponising the housing crisis to excuse the depletion of nature in our communities? How can we mobilise the 99% when the means of communication are owned and dominated by the extremely wealthy 1%? How did we get to a point in capitalism where it became acceptable to trade the social care of children like commodities and assets?
Zack Polanski speaks to author, speaker, journalist and political and environmental activist George Monbiot about how the UK and it's assets ended up in the hands of billionaires, and how there is still hope to bring it back into the hands of the public.
