A great organisation.
One of my formative experiences as journalists was the Penn Lee Lifeboat disaster.
Long, long time ago, back in the early eighties and it was just stu lifeboat that went out and was lost.
When we're talking about talking to Gordon Brown about what was his twin thing, that you know, we've got breakdown of the world order, but then we also have breakdown of community and civic cohesion trade unions people wanting to volunteer to support things in their locality.
So for these people then to sort of turn this into a campaign for their racist
you know, right far right stuff.
Um disgusting.
So Rory, there's me complaining that I'm too busy.
It's not very good for my brand of saying that I'm too busy, that you add something else to your portfolio.
This is from Kate.
Could Rory talk a bit about his new position at the LSE?
Thanks.
Francis, what LSE module are you teaching, Rory?
meant you mentioned hope there.
On the way to the studio this morning, I was stopped by a guy just round the corner who said he came to our show at the Festival Hall, and he said that when we brought on Maoz Inon and Aziz Abu Sara, the Israeli and the Palestinian who now who lost the members of their family in the violence and who now campaigned together on peace, he said that he took his young son and they left watching them talk to us with hope.
This week, podcast, you I'm so glad you talked about hope in context to with the LSE, because you remember that every year now there's this campaign, Be Hope, trying to get podcasts to be more hopeful.
And we've been pretty gloomy on lots of things this week.
But let's just end with this question from Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, etc.
When we look back at history, major technological shifts from the nuclear age to the birth of the internet have forced humanity.
humanity to invent new models of global cooperation in an era marked by geopolitical friction, competing interest, what gives you hope that governments, industry, and civil society can still come together
