Streeting has been v forceful on this for a while, the other week gave a good n/agents interview calling out misuse of our national flags on street furniture. Although he might be seen to be in defensive territory -he has a small majority in his v multiracial seat he preaches an inclusive patriotism

As a long-time listener/some-time patreon supporter, I'm sad to see you go, but all things must come to an end. You've often chosen interesting topics such as Adam Curtis's eerie docs! Also, loved how uncompromising you are, even if I've occasionally disagreed. Good luck with future endeavours.
