Customer Reviews
Always interesting pov
Pienaar always has an interesting perspective on uk politics. A good, thought provoking listen.
Right Wing Hack
This podcast is not a balanced source of commentary. It is a very partisan, right-wing attack machine. It is not fair-minded and should not be relied upon as a source of information to properly evaluate British politics. It should be billed for what it is. After listening to several episodes, I am not only disappointed, but appalled! Mr. Pienaar must take his instructions from the Tories. The Labour government may not be perfect, but they surely have done many things well. The country is more innovative, progressive and respected because of Labour's stewardship. This podcast would be more useful if it even pretended to present a fair and balanced commentary.
