COVID-19: For a Just Lockdown

iTunes/Apple Podcasts link

COVID-19 demands an internationalist response, rather than an expansion of repression. On May Day, or international workers day, we bring you an interview on just lockdown with Aotearoa/New Zealand migrant/refugee advocate Gayaal Iddamalgoda.

We conclude with a review of Saving Blighty by Jim Jepps, the best ever Brexit time travel novel.

Written and spoken by Ani White, Lidia Grigorut and Gayaal Iddamalgoda. Edited by Ani and Lidia.
