How 6% of the population hold power in Britain – Stuart Maconie (E870)

We speak to Stuart Maconie, author of ‘The Nanny State Made Me’. He discusses the elitism and propaganda behind the term nanny state, why we should have a state that looks after the population from cradle to grave, why Thatcherism should be considered an unpatriotic revolution, how the privately-educated 6% of the population run our most important institutions, the revolutionary model of Cuban healthcare, austerity in the UK by Conservative governments and more!
