The Business of Brexit
Listen now
Description
This week your co-pilots are busy celebrating the anniversary of Brexit and the subsequent birth of Planet Normal. But aside from a hit podcast what does the country really have to show from the referendum? Liam thinks that the people talkng down the economy since the referendum often underestimate UK and that our GDP growth is actually on par with other Countries in the EU/ Allison meanwhile is seething at another scandal afoot with British universities, which she believes are causing an ‘apartheid’ between UK and International students, by favouring the former. This week the rocket welcomes 'Amy' and 'James', on board to share their distressing story of how their child suffered physical bullying at the hands of another child who was allowed to join a Church of England school as a transgender girl. And Pearson Towers welcomes a new Queen, as Allison shares insights from the new reign of Didi the cat.
