The conversation starts on the controversial article the Common Sense wrote about whether Johannesburg is a better city for a young professional to live in than London. The panel puts forward the case that Johannesburg affords young professionals a much higher standard of living for a fraction of the cost of London, as well as offering a much clearer path to home ownership than is available in London. There is some disagreement over whether this analysis weighs in the incredibly high rates of violent crime in South Africa.The conversation then moves on to the panel's experience of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC). They explain that it is essentially the anti-WEF as it offers a global vision based on the sovereign value of the individual and not in the Davos' top down vision of control. In the discussion on ARC the panel touches on how the conference put forward very convincing arguments on the importance of energy abundance and therefore the use of hydrocarbons in the energy system. The panel reflects on how the media and political discussion on climate does not reflect the actual scientific evidence. The conversation then turns to South Africa as Frans explains what he understands about the danger of the 30 June deadline for foreigners to leave the country, set by march4march. He lays out his assessment of whether there is legitimate cause for concern about mass violence across South Africa.The panel ends by addressing Keir Starmer's resignation as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. They explain why he decided to step down and assess his presumed heir: Andy Burnham. The panel do not think that the change is likely to address the problems of modern Britain.
