Ep.225 - June Givanni, Thatcher & 10 Foot

In a week where:

1. Dominic Raab resigns as Deputy PM. 
2. It's been 30 years since the murder of Stephen Lawrence. 
3. India passes China to become most populous country.
4. Joe Biden announces 2024 presidential run. 
5. Harry Belafonte dies aged 96.

In Politics: (7:40) Ever since Thatcher came into government, every subsequent government - even the Labour ones - have taken from her foundations. It's frankly depressing that we constantly accept it.

In Film: (24:00) Raven Row has a new exhibition going down until June and if you're like me and know close to nothing about Pan-African cinema, then June Givanni's 10,000 piece archive will be a great start.

And lastly, a Long Read! (36:17) For this one, we head to the Financial Times for "After hours with 10 Foot, London's most notorious graffiti writer" by Miles Ellingham. In this profile, we follow 10 Foot through a couple of nights out, get the British Transport Police's view on graffiti and learn a ton about graffiti culture.
