Pints for cronies, cultural contexts and prepping for tough times

In this 20th and penultimate episode of 2020, Has and Josh go deep on the topic of cronyism within the current government - exploring the awarding of uncontested contracts to friends of politicians. They explore whether it's ever ok to help "friends" out like this in the real world.

They move into the topic of race and cultural contexts, discussing a recent social media post by a non-British footballer who used a potentially offensive word in this country, but one that he argued was a term of endearment in his country.

Has & John then look at the tough year predicted in 2021, the impact it will have on families and lives and how best to support people through it.

They end this episode with not 1, not 2 but 3 reasons to be cheerful!
