Show Notes
I knew my reflections on the Russia-Ukraine War and wider global tensions would trigger a brilliant reaction from the Rock & Roll Politics co-operative…and it has done. There are now several never-ending debates taking place here: how do wars end? Should we rejoin the EU? Should the triple lock be scrapped? How to change the voting system? And much more. • Steve’s latest video livestream is on Thur 29 Oct and it’s FREE and exclusive to Patreon backers.
