John Bull’s Other Occupation feat. Arron Merat
Added 2021-08-23 14:35:09 +0000 UTCIt's the free one!
Alice and Riley speak with returning guest, journalist Arron Merat (@a_merat), reflecting on twenty years of cruelty and institutional failure on the part of the British state and its bloody imperial adventure in Afghanistan. We look deeper into the domestic pressures, economic and psychological, that made this all happen, and look at some of the attempts to actively forget what we have been doing.

I was only 6 in 2001 but even I remember them talking about “building democracy” or whatever, and then Biden comes on TV and says “our objective was never nation-building 😌” like huh???
