Going Underground: Troops ‘sacrifice for nothing’, & ‘louder, angrier’ political comedy
Published on Dec 6, 2014

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the legacy of war in Afghanistan. Matthew Hoh, former marine and the first official to resign from the state department over the war, calls for accountability for the death of troops from ‘political leaders who made them sacrifice for nothing.’

Comedian Steve Furst, currently starring in Made in Dagenham, looks at how comedy can provide an alternative voice to make people question what is happening in the world today. We give our take on PMQs, with Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls accused of ‘political masosadism.’

And George Osborne announces a new fracking fund for the north of England, ignoring the government’s Chief Advisor on Science Policy who compared the dangers to ‘asbestos, thalidomide, or tobacco.’
