On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to NHS intensive care unit nurse and national organizer of NHS Workers Say NO, Dave Carr. He discusses the government’s meagre one-percent pay rise for NHS staff after a year of battling the coronavirus pandemic, possible strike action over the dismal pay rise, Rishi Sunak’s lack of support for the NHS, why he thinks the government clapping for the NHS is hypocritical, reports of another coronavirus wave after lockdown lifts, and much more! Next, we speak to Kelechi Okafor, actress and host of the ‘Say Your Mind’ podcast.
She discusses the fallout of Meghan Markle and Harry’s interview with Oprah, why she believes the royal family is institutionally racist, why Meghan Markle’s alleged bullying is nothing compared to the British Empire and the royal family’s bullying of other countries historically, why the family even today represents colonial violence, why the monarchy should be abolished, and more! Finally, we speak to Prof. Peter Baldwin, author of ‘Fighting the First Wave: Why Coronavirus Was Tackled So Differently Across The Globe’.
