Some days you turn on or read the news and all you see is ‘gutter politics’ everywhere. It’s so ugly, childish, and unproductive, not to mention, while politicians are playing these games, what are they actually doing for the people they are supposed to serve? Not a whole lot for a long time in many countries, but with politics often pitted as a game of “stoop to conquer” will it ever change?
It’s just politics we hear, but is it? It’s always been this way? Really? This bad? This pathetic? This destructive? We have seen many examples of politics that are much more graceful and beneficial to their societies, even when these societies don’t necessarily know how good they have it. And in the UK, the Labour party seems to be saying nope, we’ve had enough of the destructive and divisive ‘gutter politics’ all too familiar in recent years… but they are saying this in response to Labour’s own smear campaign against the Liberals – interesting, no?
The truth of the matter is, as we must move into a new era for humanity (one way or the other) we need a new political system, economic system and social system, so perhaps the time for ‘gutter politics’ really must become a thing of the past? Something to ponder, no?
Tim, Joe and Andrea are really looking forward to this chat and unfortunately, we have no special guest this week due to a medical emergency at the last minute, but we always enjoy it when the three of us get to talk about the big issues in the news that are impacting our world and hope you come and join us.
The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade (yes he’s back) and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today.
The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the climate crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics, business, social issues, and passion/humor/history. Join us.
