THE IRON FIST OF LABOUR with Simon Evans

THE IRON FIST OF LABOUR with Simon Evans

Author: Geoff Norcott August 20, 2024 Duration: 46:05
Simon Evans re-joins this week on brilliant comic & analytical form. We discuss the worrying authoritarian tendencies being show by Labour (and whether you can impersonate Angela Rayner just by singing Oasis lyrics). We also consider the news that Gen Z are reverting back to old hobbies like weaving and knitting (maybe to save money?). In the Patreon only we discuss the case of a woman arrested for silently praying (you can't think anything these days).  Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-explained/dp/1800961308/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb BOOK Tickets for Edinburgh Fringe run:  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

Geoff Norcott operates in a comedy world that often leans one way, but he brings a different, grounded perspective to the table. His What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott podcast is built on the idea that ordinary people have nuanced views on the social and political issues dominating the headlines. Each episode digs into those contentious topics with a blend of honesty and blunt humour, aiming for insight without unnecessary vitriol. You'll hear Geoff's own take, shaped by his experience as a right-leaning stand-up in a predominantly left-field industry, but the conversations truly come alive with guests from across the entire social and political spectrum. Regular contributors like Romesh Ranganathan, Katherine Ryan, Jonathan Pie, Andrew Doyle, and David Baddiel ensure no single viewpoint dominates the chat. The result is a surprisingly balanced and consistently funny exploration of what people really believe, away from the echo chambers. Tuning into this podcast means getting a candid, comedic audit of modern Britain, where disagreement is allowed and laughter is the constant.
