Ep 109: Tents: The al-fresco living lifestyle choice

<p>Hear ye! Hear ye! Brace yourselves because it's that time of year again... </p><br /><p>When an unelected man puts a crown of jewels worth more than Kent on his head and reads out a list of Government bills that will do absolutely nothing to tackle the cost of living crisis. Makes one proud to be British.</p><br /><p>Jemma and Marina discuss one of the most verbose but substance-free monarch's speeches for decades, before discussing Marina's new al-fresco living lifestyle choice. </p><br /><p>In post-truth Brexit Britain, it now appears living homeless in a tent is a lifestyle choice, but living with your folks rent-free while you cream £25k off the taxpayer is just impressively shrewd and totally within the parliamentary rules. Obvs. </p><br /><p>And while the state of events is dire, your responses to it are not - and the ladies delight in reading out some epic tweets in response to the latest installment of the Cruella horror show.</p><br /><p>Then it's onto protests - which are now called hate marches thanks to our Home Secretary's desperate need to whip up hate and sow division. Not to mention her shocking undermining of the met police - which comes at an interesting time considering last week our Govt wanted to label anyone undermining our institutions as an extremist. Projection much?</p><br /><p>The Covid inquiry takes a new turn and gets the ladies talking about times they've had to adapt to male-dominated environments - with Marina once working in a marketing team that the CEO affectionately labeled 'the crayon girls'.</p><br /><p>Then they wrap up with some choice underrated tweets before finishing with a Covid-themed pudding from Mathilda Thorpe. </p><p> </p><p>Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><br /><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast">https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.
