In this episode, I focus primarily on young people.
The BBC are teaching kids how to spot fake news. The irony is not lost. I cover this story and talk about why it's really happening and what the fake news situation is really all about.
Schools are taking over kids lives and I cover two stories - one about homework and the other about kids being turned into 'robots' to quote one mother from one of the articles. I talk about the wider context of these two stories. Kids lives after school are also being taken over by the State with increasing regulations of what they're not allowed to do when outdoors. I talk about a story on this subject where kids need planning permission weeks in advance, adults wearing high visibility jackets and road signs just to go out and play, and I explain why it's really happening.
Technology is also focused on in this episode. I cover stories about kids being encouraged to get into coding and satellites being sent up into space. I talk about the reasons for both. I also cover a story about artificial intelligence.
I also explain the background to Jeremy Corbyn and the pressure on him to condemn apparent 'anti-Semitism' with the Mear One mural and the real reason for people being accused of anti-Semitism when they're not racist and why Israel has such global influence. This is far more important to address than people might think.
