Newspeak 04/02/2022: British Speeches & Identity

What is British identity? And can we find it in this nation's greatest speeches? Theo hosts this special episode with Labour Club General Secretary Ryan Gallagher, Liberal Democrat Society Media Secretary Tom Simmonds, and Law student Scott Rowley, as they take a deep dive into British history to explore national identity and who controls that identity.  Discussing oratory from Cromwell, Lloyd George, Powell, and Thatcher, they cover empire, working-class versus the elite, and right-wing head-banging. This is freedom of speech going live!
