Ignore the Tears: keep asking your questions.
Paula Vennells is shedding fake tears and showing selective convenient memory and forgetfulness. Fully deserving of most hated person status. We go deeper into tears and their true meaning. Feeling sorry for yourself or other people. Calibrating tears: some people never cry and others are cry babies. Why Paula Vennells should have been forced to answer questions about other times she had cried so we could judge her better. Elvis Costello and “Suspect my Tears.” Daniel admits to crying and so much more…..

How to Stop the Revolution
Dictator strategies. Talking to local people about brouhahas compared to hoo-has. How the public can get organised to overthrow dictators. It takes a crank to start a revolution. Being too scared to go first and say something critical. Journalists, lawyers and comedians as the prime targets of dictators. Importance of ridicule as a control mechanism. Lawyers are too slow or cowardly to be a threat. Comedians being cancelled is a danger sign for us all. Being tested to become robust and strong. Too much protection is not healthy. Bullies at work. Women on women tyranny. Avoiding confrontation because you are too scared and then stay and suffer or leave. Divide and rule operates by making us more concerned about race and sex. Bread and circuses in Roman times has become Pringles and Netflix to keep people quiet. Foreign policy distractions and war to get people behind strong leaders. Crowd control by water cannon and tear gas. Northern Ireland history. Kettling and women needing the loo. Daniel engages with a couple wrongly accused of analysis paralysis and so much more..
