#95 DINOSAUR JR. (feat. Jake Longstreth)

In the wake of the Labour Party's disastrous performance in the 2021 U.K. local elections, we're taking a look back at a key moment in recent British history. The made-for-TV movie COALITION (2015) documents the wheelings and dealings that led to Nick Clegg's Liberal-Democrats joining forces with David Cameron's Conservatives after. the 2010 election left no party with a parliamentary majority. We share some larfs over a perfectly mediocre movie, and. discuss the true meaning of "Cleggmania" and its aftermath. PLUS: Why can't Keir Starmer sell centrism like Tony Blair could? And reflections on Toronto's alt-media landscape, from NOW Magazine to Eye Weekly to The Grid.

We asked our patreon and our socials for questions that we could answer. This is the first half!

Questions For Street Fight Radio - Part one!

NEW RP! @LukewSavage of @MichaelandUs and @jacobinmag joins Jack & Geraint to discuss the BBC's 1995 documentary series Labour: The Wilderness Years, in which the great & the good of the Labour Party (and the SDP) put forth their often drastically divergent perspectives on the party's post-1979, pre-Blair history. Plus - the British and Canadian elections, Neil Young's endorsement in the latter, and Luke's Twitter beef with Mike Gapes.

After The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal reported on newly leaked documents exposing a massive UK government propaganda campaign against Russia, Twitter added an unprecedented warning label that the material "may have been obtained through hacking." Although Twitter may have intended to restrict the article, the warning had the opposite effect: it quickly went viral. 

Max Blumenthal and Aaron Maté discuss the suppression effort and the damning UK government leaks at the heart of it. After years of fear-mongering about Russian interference in Western democracies, these UK government files expose a sprawling propaganda effort that explicitly aims to "weaken" Russia. The documents reveal that this propaganda campaign has also enlisted major media outlets Reuters and the BBC, as well as the NATO member state-funded website Bellingcat. 

Guest: Max Blumenthal, editor of The Grayzone and author of "The Management of Savagery."
