A Quick One with Ed Parnell

Self-proclaimed Macho Man Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been flown back to the US after evident pressure from the Trump Administration. It is unlikely he will return to Romania to face court, which is a bad sign for justice and a worse shame for the world. Tate has charges of Trafficking, rape and money laundering, so it's no surprise Trump was interested in getting him back, considerin...

Reform UK MP Richard Tice may well be a wealthy man, but wealth does not equal intellect, ability or serve as an indicator of talent. Wealth is just that; so when challenged on various issues with his party, his story falls apart quite quickly. Tice has consistently dropped the ball in Parliament and as Reform's defacto leader, and as such he is proving himself to be equal in competence to that ma...

Young people in the UK have put up with austerity and the racism of Brexit. They have had services cut, youth centres closed, play areas bulldozed, after school clubs curtailed and are called lazy, feckless and spongers. They can't get work and when they do it's drastically underpaid. And then we are surprised when they don't want to fight for their country or anything. Then there's the racism of...

The state of NHS dentistry is increasingly alarming, revealing cracks that threaten its very foundation. Patients are struggling to find adequate dental care, practitioners are facing overwhelming pressures, and the quality of service appears to be on a steep decline.

The man who may well have a side line as a Lurch from the Adams family took issue with him and his reform buddies not attending an important debate on defence spending. And boy, did he look foolish.

Don Lemon was a newsman. For years he broadcast across America, a bright smile and a great presentation style which not only informed, it challenged those in his sights and, not to a huge extent, mined into the stories he covered with an informal but determined aire. He worked on CNN from 2006 to his ignominous end in 2022, when it was revealed there was unacceptable behaviour towards female membe...

In one of the most cold, calculated and evil acts ever performed, Donald Trump has put forward a budget cancelling Medicaid and all but destroying social security. This include the VA.  So the ultra wealthy can have tax cuts. People. Will. Die. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-quick-one-with-ed-parnell--5948367/support .

The BBC and others keep saying Trump's approval rating and polling is very high, but the truth is somewhat different. His poll ratings are down the toilet and heading out to sea. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-quick-one-with-ed-parnell--5948367/support .

Having a name like James Bond can cause problems with authority. But in America, where racism is on the rise, it seems anyone with a name associated with a famouis person or brand can be treated not for their crime but for their skin colour.

Eastenders is a hopelessly unrealistic soap where no one seems to do any actual work and everyone spends all day hanging around each others' kitchens drinking endless cups of tea and saying 'Alright?' in an accent which is a mixture of cockney or a South African with a mouth full of marbles.
