Ep. #7: Talking About British Politics With Uther Naysmith

Isaac speaks with Uther, a British left-wing activist, about his political beliefs and background. Uther's political perspective was shaped by his upbringing in poverty and the values instilled in him by his parents, leading him to see alignment between his values and left-wing politics. Both Isaac and Uther expressed disappointment with current governments' failure to fulfill promises to labor unions. There was a significant political shift to the right in the past decade, with people voting for right-wing parties despite increasing poverty and inequality. Uther shared his involvement in the British Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn and his subsequent departure due to the party's shift to the right under Keir Starmer. Uther is now a member of the Breakthrough party, hoping for its success in aligning with his Democratic Socialist beliefs. The discussion also touched on Brexit, its reasons, and its impact on the British economy, as well as the role of the Royal family in UK politics and the need for a transition to socialism. Towards the end, Isaac raised an issue of the rising knife crime in Britain, asking for an explanation of its causes and potential solutions.

Uther Naysmith has no social media but instead wants people to go to World Socialist Movement (worldsocialism.org) to learn more about Socialism.
