Ep.50 - The 1%, Harriet & Lewis Hamilton

In a week where:South Africa beat England to Win their third Rugby World Cup.Lewis Hamilton seals his sixth Drivers World Championship, one-off equalling Schumacher's All-Time record. AMPAS DQ's Nigerian entry "Lionheart" for having too much English dialogue.Jacob Rees-Mogg apologises for comments about Grenfell.In the 1st Life topic: (11:45) The richest 1% are acting as if a Labour government would end their lives. They genuinely believe Jeremy "Allotment" Corbyn is the boogeyman, licking his lips at the potential of rightly taxing the 1% more. And act as if they pay taxes here anyways...In Film/TV: (22:48) The Biopic "Harriet" is finally out! But not everybody is into it. African Americans aren't messing with it. Partly because of the faux "British Invasion" played in this case by Cynthia Erivo, but also because the film just isn't all that good.In Sports: (39:32) Lewis Hamilton is one or two good seasons off becoming the Greatest F1 Driver of All-Time. But with his 6th World Championship now locked up. Why isn't British sports media hailing this man? The case could be made that he's the greatest sportsperson the UK has ever had!Lastly, in the 2nd Life topic: (52:39) Bristol University has hired Olivette Otele to be a Professor on the History of Slavery, an unprecedented step forward in the fight to educate University students on the long (swept-under-rug) history of the UK's involvement in the Transatlantic Slave Trade.Thank you for listening!
