1 in 10 Are Broke, Celebrating Margaret Thatcher, and Fishing Quota Fury
Update: 2025-05-20
Description
In this punchy episode of Mark and Pete, we tackle three explosive issues shaping the UK today. First, we dive into the shocking statistic that 1 in 10 Britons have no savings, revealing the fragile state of personal finance and what it means for national resilience. With household budgets tighter than ever, are we heading for a savings crisis?
Next, we commemorate and critique the legacy of Margaret Thatcher as her 100th birthday is marked with celebratory events in Grantham. Love her or loathe her, the Iron Lady remains one of Britain’s most divisive political figures. We explore how Thatcherism reshaped the UK—and whether the celebration is deserved or divisive.
Finally, we cast our nets into the stormy waters of the UK-EU fishing rights dispute. With the Brexit fishing deal expiring soon, tensions rise over quotas, sovereignty, and national identity. Will British fishermen be left high and dry while Brussels demands more access?
As always, Mark and Pete bring wit, wisdom, and a splash of theological insight to today’s most pressing issues. Subscribe now and join the debate.
