Why Britain should become a republic. With Steve Freeman and Chris Williamson

Why Britain should become a republic. With Steve Freeman and Chris WilliamsonIt’s just over 30 years since Tony Benn introduced his Commonwealth of Britain Bill in the House of Commons, which proposed wide ranging constitutional reform including the abolition of the monarchy and the introduction of a codified constitution. Following the controversy over the Queen’s decision to make Tony Blair a knight, Resistance TV is hosting a discussion with Steve Freeman about the measures contained in Tony Benn’s bill. Steve will be explaining why this matters and will put it in the context of the post-war British social monarchy and Thatcher’s neo-liberal ‘revolution’.Resistance TV is a weekly show hosted by Chris Williamson the former Labour MP, Derby Council Leader and the founder of Resist Movement for a People's Party. With a socialist take on things we look at areas of concern for the left wing, Anti Racism, Anti Imperialism, MMT, Injustice, Britain's role in foreign affairs, 21st century Socialism, Alternative Media and more…Live Wednesday's on all our Social Media at 7pm and audio Podcast on Friday'sJoin Resist here: www.resistmovement.org.ukSupport us with a donation here: paypal.me/festivalofresistanceFollow Chris on Twitter @DerbyChrisW#TheQueen #Republic #TheRoyalFamily #ResistanceTV #BecomingARepublic #CommonwealthofBritainBill #TonyBenn #abolition #monarchy #Thatcher
