This is yet to be finalised but looks as though it’s likely to happen. I’m hoping to bring you an audio podcast on 1 May – Mayday – at 7pm BST (GMT +1). It will be me and a prominent climate activist discussing the climate crisis and talking about a revolution. I expect to do a test run a week earlier to see that I have the podcast tech working properly.

3/4/24 9.05am. This intended podcast is now looking unlikely. I’m getting no response to emails after an initial encouraging response. I’m disappointed too.

4/4/24 8.15am. I am very pleased to announce an audio podcast featuring renowned climate activist Roger Hallam and myself on 1 May 2024 at 7pm BST (GMT +1).

The podcast is likely to last at least 30 minutes. Roger has a reputation for sometimes being abrasive and I have been known to call a cnut a cnut so it is probably wise to accept that there may be some profanities. Further audio podcasts may follow.

It’s part of the mechanism of plutocracy whereby the rich and powerful dominate politics instead of representative democracy. I’m chasing this mostly because of Heritage Foundation’s climate-destroying policies and whether this is what Rishi Sunak is following.

JSO, FPA, PJP protest London 23 July 2022. My pic, free to use.

I’ve not long got back from the Just Stop Oil, Fuel Poverty Action, Peace and Justice Project protest in London.

Coming soon a rethink by me of how to campaign effectively. Our planet is burning and it’s clear that the Paris Agreement goals were seriously wrong. The World’s climate is fekked now never mind 1.5C rise and there is no action from governments other than accelerating the destruction of out beautiful World. Please feel free to contribute and comment once it’s published.

ed: Forgot to say that I argued with Piers Corbyn while I was there.
