Content Warning: DWP & Poverty experience
The group talk about the experiences of one of our own surviving a changing welfare system in the UK under the yoke of austerity and Tory rule.
Not going to lie to you, this one does get a bit heavy at points. We cover a long decline in standards of welfare, with a lot of first hand accounts from Fargle in his debut on the podcast. The ministers responsible, the aims of the system and the struggles present in it.
It wouldn't be a socialist podcast if we didn't put some sort of hopeful slant on it though, and we touch on a potential solution in the long term, and cover some individual coping techniques and support services available to anyone in need, including an aid document by the Something Awful UK Megathread's incredibly cool and good Ferrosol.
Also making their debut on the podcast is Natalie (we finally got a woman on, patriarchy rest in piss), and Rob, our very own unelected Brussels Bureaucrat!
