Hostile Environment for Flip Phones feat. Victor Patrascan

Added 2019-02-15 15:42:22 +0000 UTC

Does it surprise anyone that the Tories would decide that the issue of EU citizens in the UK could be solved with an app? And does it surprise anyone that that app doesn't work? In this week's bonus episode, comedian Victor Patrascan — recently of Romania — joins the Trashfuture crew to discuss the Samsung-only immigration policy. We also discuss a very dumb article about Vene-freaking-zuela.

This episode features a TF first: reporting segments that Hussein and Nate conducted —featuring Maria Llorente from the EU citizens' advocacy group The 3 Million, and with Chicago-based app developer Ryan Jones — because guess what, folks? We've invented the news.
