In this Summer Special, I take the show on the road to meet people at the London incarnation of a global Day of Visibility called We Are Ready.

From all over the UK, citizens gathered in Parliament Square, facing the seat of Britain’s government, to raise their voices on the issues that matter to them, and to protest what they think has gone wrong.

A common theme was that uncontrollable forces are taking society in an objectionable direction. From Covid vaccines to extraterrestrial Satanists, the list of problems and malefactors was long and varied. What the forces at play were, and whether they were guided deliberately or somehow emergent, changed depending on who I spoke with. The people there were kind, patient, and open to being approached, and I had some great conversations.

I hope you enjoy this field report. We’ll be back to our normal format of long-form one-on-one interviews in our next episode.

Enjoy!
