Art Gets Cancelled. Aid Gets Banned: Where are the Consequences?

<p>Trump tries to slap his name on the Kennedy Center and the internet responds with satire, cancelled shows and an all-time zinger of a legal reply:&nbsp;<em>“Confusion is a legal requirement, not a feeling.”</em>Beautiful work 🫡</p><br /><p>Then the mood shifts, hard. Marina and Jemma confront the unbearable disconnect of cosy Christmases in the West while Gaza freezes and floods. From Netanyahu’s Mar-a-Lago sleepover with Trump to the stripping of aid agencies from Gaza, Marina and Jemma ask the same question again and again:&nbsp;<strong>where are the consequences?</strong></p><br /><p>Also in this ep: Nicki Minaj torches her own reputation, the grotesque hypocrisy over the release of British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah, Kemi Badenoch defending the indefensible (again), a sanctioned oligarch’s favourite lawyer, and the men of politics proving, once more, that it’s all just a game to them.</p><br /><p>Satire, rage, hypocrisy klaxons and laughs.
