So what the hell is going on, Labour are slumping in the polls and yet those most naturally in their shadow able to take their place (the Lib Dems) are failing to capitalise in the polls. And even though the Tories are enjoying high times so much they must think it's the 80's all over again (in more ways than one) they have failed to deliver one serious or credible attack against the government that would show them to be the true heir's to the throne. So to speak. Anyway, on with this weeks Politalks. NSFW as usual, transcript can be found if you go through to read more!
Wed 23rd Apr 2008
Here is the most recent Politalks, let us know what you think. NSFW as usual, and transcript when you read more below!
Wed 9th Apr 2008
It's back, Politalks returns with its 8th episode belatedly tackling last weeks news. As usual it's not safe for work (NSFW) so make sure you've got headphones in if you're listening in the office! Transcript below the video, as usual any comments to the email.
Wed 12th Mar 2008
Better late than never, or so they say...either way that's the way it is! A reminder again to expect it as much as this late next week due to taking some holiday time, but for now enjoy a very much 1984 themed Politalks. NSFW as usual, and see below for the transcript!
Tue 4th Mar 2008
The latest Politalks is here, remember that episode 7 and 8 will also be posted on a Tuesday due to other commitments. This week we've seen childish politics reach new highs and more than just a little bit of borrowing from others to try and get ahead in the polls. Also, more weighty content with a scathing analysis of the ever ongoing Israeli-Palestine conflict.Not work safe with transcript below.
Mon 25th Feb 2008
Well this is a little later than usual given I had to rebuild my news on the site from backups, but it is here...unfortunately Gavin was too busy to provide a hand with this one so you'll have to do with my voice, which I've decided is slightly camper when digitalised than my counterpart! It's not work safe and due to the time I've not got links at the end like last week...transcript can be found when clicking "Continue Article..."
Mon 18th Feb 2008
Politalks 4 is now up! This week we look at terrorism and how torture fits in with that particular problem, in particular George Bush's views on waterboarding. There is also a look at interesting ideas such as soldiers becoming teachers and frankly bizarre educational policy. The big stuff is at the end though, where we let those of you out of the loop know who the sexiest MP of them all is, afraid we have no news on what they'll be wearing to the ball. Video below, transcript even further down, right at the bottom we even have a roundup of the links we took in to consideration when making this
Not work safe unless you have headphones, enjoy!
Mon 11th Feb 2008
Probably not safe for work, here is our third effort. As always we welcome comments on the style and content in an effort to improve! Transcript below...
Mon 4th Feb 2008
The next episode of Politalks is now here, with thanks to Gavin Whenman who will for the foreseeable future be partnering me on the project. Video below is probably NSFW!
Mon 28th Jan 2008
I'm trying something new here, not sure if it's going to work as well as intended but here it is. Read more for the transcript of this movie.
