book so much it has sent me down YouTube rabbit holes of his old segments for 'TV Nation'.
This one is particularly genius, Louis meets "The original Boyz N The Hood" and finds out why the KKK want an image makeover.

No one ever learnt anything whilst speaking. Why should an influencer who came to the fore playing FIFA on YouTube be expected to be a well informed spokesperson on current affairs? Political/Current affairs literacy are at an all time low, those failings are not with celebs

@BellaWallerstei
You have completely misrepresented what White privelige is. It isn’t a denial of the struggles, disadvantages and hardships of white families but a recognition that their lives are not made harder by their race. It doesn’t disqualify them from all other socio/economic hardships.
@Ankaman616
They’ve used a simple pass through, no original production at all. The 1 man monologuer is providing comms for the entire world feed that they’re just using. The crazy thing is they could have done their own original commentary wrap around for a few grand…Such a wasted chance
The Tommy Robinson who was jailed in 2013 for illegally entering the US using someone else’s passport? The same Tommy Robinson who has also been jailed for assault and drugs offences.
I bet he gets given it...

You are worse than an individual bully, what you do is use your significant inbuilt audience that comes with a being a professional contrarian to foster an environment that promotes nastiness and pile on’s. A cursory 2 second search brought up these examples.

Presenting Anti-Zionism as Anti-Semitism in this context is especially ridiculous when his opponent is a far right leaning politician and the literal son of a Nazi hailing from Bavaria…
Chile's Jewish community has been left worried after Gabriel Boric's presidential win, due to his outspoken anti-Zionist beliefs.

Wow someone has mapped every single place Anthony Bourdain travelled too, restaurant he visited, place that he stayed and activity he did, plus more for 'No Reservations'.

A spare thought for my grandad today on Holocaust Remembrance Day. A Hungarian Jew born Istvan Guylai, he would be 103 now. The only person in his family to not be murdered in Auschwitz, he arrived in the UK as a refugee, alone and without a word of English.
He was originally
Just finished the doc ‘Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain’ which is now on Netflix. Amazing and honest portrayal of a flawed genius, I’m not sure if you can actually miss people you’ve never met, but it feels the world misses Anthony Bourdain.
There are bigger things happening right now, but I want to honour my nana Vena who passed away this morning age 93

We've hit the 4 year mark, which still hasn't quite hit home. From humble (and freezing) beginnings in a shipping container in Brixton seems incomparable to where we are today

Heavyweight is being cancelled, Jesus…
That is truly the last remaining crumbs of Gimlet’s DNA gone isn’t it?
Remarkable how every last scrap of the stand out company that inspired so many of us to get into podcasting, has just been expunged into the abyss.

An old Yorkshireman is lying in his bed dying. With a very weak voice he asks:

Yes, I am here.
Are my children here?
Yes, your children are all here.
Are my grandchildren here?
Yes grandad, we are all here.

Incredible to learn from the other panelist’s. I’n no expert on Genocide but I am the grandson of a survivor and it’s important to recognise that genocide doesn’t just end after the act itself.
