The Clark-Wight Podcast with Neil Clark and John Wight.

This week will be one of the most important in British politics in many a decade, going some way to determining the fate of Brexit with seminal parliamentary debates and votes scheduled. Some have even gone so far as to draw comparison with the Norway Debate in 1940. 

But has Brexit become a distraction, given the mounting and record levels of poverty, immiseration, and despair across Britain in 2019, tantamount is tantamount to social carnage?

This is a question Neil and John explore as they attempt to look beyond Brexit to the reality of Britain in a time of social and economic injustice.

Also, on 11 March 2006 the last leader of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic, died in prison in The Hague. On this episode Neil and John look back at the legacy of a leader who tried to resist the disintegration of a state established in the name of solidarity, brotherhood and social and economic justice and paid the ultimate price.
