i'd be interested to see what my students at the university of kent would make of these comments, because you've got a rich mum and dad, you're basically needing to get somewhere between £60,000 and 110, £120,000. if you live in london just to get onto the housing ladder. so the idea that this is like it always was, or this is like it always was, or this is like it always was, or this is as easy as it always was, i think is for the birds and you know, the reality, michelle, we're going come michelle, we're going to come back this, i know back and talk about this, i know is many of those kids are is that many of those kids are also getting pushed out of the market this excessive demand market by this excessive demand for for rental and for housing, both for rental and to a home from migration . to buy a home from migration. um, give you one stat. i'll give the viewers one to think the viewers one stat to think about. year , we built about. last year, we built 180,000 homes in this country . 180,000 homes in this country. if you look at the latest reports , need be building reports, we need

joining me tonight is academic and professor of sociology at the university of kent . ent. frank. freddie frank, thanks for joining me tonight. freddie frank, thanks for joining me tonight . it feels joining me tonight. it feels like there was never any respite . i don't remember the larger part of my life being dominated by my never ceasing anxiety from the media and from politicians. i think that's true. >> i think that it's a constant, uh, sort of battle where on monday you get up and the big problem is global terrorism. by tuesday, it mutates into a global warming and human extinction. and then it just kind of moves on and on and on. so there's this kind of constant, uh, not narrative of fear that's in the air. but i think there's something else which is often overlooked, which is that very often it's not just simply a question of, uh , fear simply a question of, uh, fear mongering, but the very fact is that our elites, the people that run society, are themselves confused and disoriented and anxious . and you get this sense anxious. and you get this sense that day t

he's a senior academic can post colonial literature at the university of kent. i'm the author of the protestant and novel from 1948 to the present. he joins us live now from down to welcome to the program. let me ask you 1st. that in reality is anthony lincoln's visit to the region lock you to make any difference the tool to the suffering of palestinians on the ground? no, i don't think so. i think we have to look at the action that the us is taking, the rather than the zip code of the code words and his pulse morning of the jersey at us journalist family who was killed the us as effectively cold running this war with is that i that is protecting its ally. it is defending genocide and public and more crimes is buying is that i had more time to meet that san realistic. what happens is so, so in a sense making war, talking piece and also blocking palestinian statehood. i think the food that i said before this aust, onto us will be a cost for this in the region. it's the stabilizing the region on which we've continued to affect the products to be is negatively for d

he is in america is professor at the university of kent as well as the author of the last piece. how the wes failed to prevent the 2nd cold war. and in budapest we cross the george send me while we, he is a pod cast where it's a guy go, which can be found on youtube and locals, right? tillman cross loc roles of effects. that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciated quite a bit of a slight change of pace and format here, george, my partner at the gabble a pod cast a is a agreed to co host this program with the professor. and as such of george, you can see it off 1st question richard, i really enjoyed the, your book, which is the coolest the piece. and i guess my 1st question would be, you know, that the, the, the onset to the question you was, who did lose the piece, because at the end of the cold war, there really should not be any conflicts. that's all dividing rusher and the west. the one on the logical complex to another territorial complex, the one that we cannot make complex. so what happened? how come we're in this situation? yeah, absolutely. it's one

started shouting at each other. bosher double money is a read of in post colonial literature, the university of kent. and he says, guns plan is not you. and it doesn't mean that will be any laptop in the war. i have to say that there's nothing new here, right? is it a seems to be just appeasing the us by publicly discussing postwar scenarios, which of which the government had refused to do up until this point. so it seems to be a facade, the, i think, a cover for the permanent war on the palestinians, which has now escalated into genocide. the genocide has ministry strategy. i said this is not due because early on in the war there was a leak report by the ministry of intelligence which, which planned, which had set an options in on this is option b, the option b is that the, that the expulsion fails. and that the local population stays remains, but that we need the local governing body of civilian governing body, which is not how miles to be able to govern the population. so that seems to be around b. and remember that up until now is that it hasn't yet merited state. the war aims boil goals. it has

all right, let's bring it in by sure every minute his reader, in post colonial literature university of kent joints is now from london. especially a good to have you with this at so, and cheapening can in the region how we moved on in any way. do you think to any kind of resolution with his visit? a no, not a toilet. i mean for us, let me begin by saying that it's, it's important to remember it's been 95 days since it has a full noun clauses. and since it has envision on cause and none of its warnings have been realized, some of talked about them was on realistic contradictory, some of talked about how can you release hostages by by kidding them? it's very clear that genocide on i'm glad you use this term on. let's just see it as is it as well? stop the injury. we have a starvation strategy. we have funding which is being projected we have turning cause i don't mean habitable place on livable. there's no question that god does is it, as the stone for occupied by destiny is already killed? one percent of guzman is already many more injured. now in the midst of all of this, the us comes again

i might not, he's a senior academic in protest, claim literature at the university of kent and also of the policy. the novel from 1948 to present joints live now from london by ship said blinking in his route. as all this violence continues keeps going on, has blinking visit, move the dial any closer to any kind of resolution. not a told, i mean blinking just went to support is that i think the because of the genocide charge, which has been considered by the i c j at the end of the week do us enables the war the us protect because of the, from beatles and the kind of resolutions and the water to create the cx 5 by it, by design more time to meet. it's absolutely andreas the warnings and then just says it wants to contain the config originally, but once is fine with those that are continuing to coming by that stimulus continuing, systematically destroying productivity of life, criminalizing and on on. and i think the whole population is basically what the us is continuing to do is going to give us a license alliances to kill garza so you know, that allows us to protect the documentation

he's a reader in post colonial literature at the university of kent joints, not from london and bushes of the account has always been resolute, of course, and it supports of the united states position in israel's where israel's war on gaza. what do you make of this from david cameron? a yeah, so it's, it's not clear that the you can, has any independent foreign policy. it is just a tell anything. what do u. s has been doing and setting? i think he used the question of that. we have to think about this moment as i start the moment, then you have to ask us of the story q where, where people are standing and where did you stop getting? as it is water on gauze, i think people who support the visit a little confusion, which is what it is, which is what ben wallace talked about. what design does the funds mr. get? and he talked about that as killing that age. if you support it as it as vengeance, you're on the wrong side of history, and i think the only way to stop this. the only way to stop is really what is public barbara as much as what we're seeing in front of our eyes. as far as i'm nat

i'm on a rita in postcolonial literature at the university of kent joining us live from london. thanks for joining us. this our, this type of money, what do you think is, is going on here? i mean, this seems to be an idea of which would be potentially even more intense, sort of occupation of gaza than we've seen over the last half century in the occupied westbank. presumably because israel's terms and wants to ensure that there is no repeat of october the 7th, but the impact on gaza looks as you were saying earlier, different from a post will piece to yes. so the main thing is there is trying to do in the what i mean, of course, in the postwar situation is to distort it's absolutely shop a military defense and both in addition to the part of things and also in the region of logic. and this is what it's proposing to do, but we have to step back a little and think about the fact that we've been witnessing a 90 day genocidal horn gospel and gardens, which makes cause i totally uninhabited names of those or have not been met because of the names that haven't minus the case from us ye

on this story, let's speak now to be sure i'm on a reader in post colonial literature at the university of kent joining us now from london. this is, we have to emphasize, not policy is one plan outlined by one will be at a very senior minister and these are the government. i'm so it may not ever come to fruition, but what does it at least tell us about, is there any intentions and is it important on that front of least so i have to say that there's nothing new here, right? is it a seems to be just appeasing the us by publicly discussing postwar scenarios, which of which the government had refused to do up until this point. so it seems to be a facade, i think, a cover for the permanent war on the palestinians, which has now escalated into join the side of the genocide. as many as 3 strategy. i said this is not due because hardly on in the war there was a leak report by the ministry of intelligence which, which planned, which had set an options in on this is option b, the option b is that the, the, the expulsion fails. and that the local population stays remains, but that we need the local govern

joining us right straight now to bus you on monday he's a read a in post colonial literature at university of kent and is joining us for a month. and thank you very much for joining us on the program. as we've been laying out, this is not yet official is ready policy. those plans are a post. will garza, however, it is the 1st kind of really detailed list of at least a wish list from from a very senior member of the is ready government. it's sounds pretty much like a, a very intensive occupation of gauze and what's your assessment of what you thought? and so i think it's important to step back a little in and, and just talk with you guys. what is it that it has been undertaking for the last 90 days? it's been a genocidal war against the palestinians. it's been an all out war against palestinian society. the number of display start 1900000. all hundreds of thousands of buildings destroyed. northern gauze eyes is, is essentially in bravo. and i thought all of those days that i had the plan is essentially a continuation of war. by other means. there's no peace at the end of this plan. there is no come
