Looking forward and looking back (E260)

Not since 1940, when Hitler was at the Channel’s ports, has Britain faced a future less certain than she faces it in 2019. In less than a 100 days Britain leaves moorings in the European Union and floats free. Literally, nobody knows whether we will do so under the incumbent prime minister, this government or on what terms Britain will trade with our erstwhile partners. In fact, if briefings are correct, we don’t even know if our planes will fly or a herd of locusts will descend upon our land. So, we have Andre Walker from the New York Observer in the studio to discuss Britain and Brexit.

It has been a tumultuous year in British and international affairs. From the two Koreas to the two-state solution in Israel and Palestine, the wars in Syria, Yemen and Ukraine and the deep freeze of Anglo-Russian relations, the tensions between the US and Iran and now China. To review the horizon and put 2018 under the microscope we invited former British army officer, intelligence man, police officer, lawyer and now commentator Charles Shoebridge aboard Sputnik.
