I like these podcasts very thought provoking. I confess I am guilty of leaning towards content that recognises my reality. Although I do listen to opposing views just to try to understand the other side of the argument. But I think for most of my life I've been fed a narrative through education and then later traditional news media that didn't fully explain the how and why. But I feel voices like Gary's help to break down why we have symbolic progress without substantial change

70s England was shockingly deprived for many working class white natives. Child abuse, domestic violence were far more common during those days. In some ways people of colour were better off culturally because they had more of a sense of ethnic identity and community. That was virtually non existent with the native English. So it's important to understand the times then and put racism and discrimination in its proper context. Also, England suffered terribly due to the war which happened not that long before.

The 1970s was 25 years after World War II, and what was going on in the UK then was very similar to what was happening now. An establishment out of touch car crashing the economy, and encouraging those affected most by their midmanagemrnt to turn to the past that caused the problems in the first place, because it's easier to accept those out of date ideas, than accept that their betters screwed them over.
