Darren McGarvey’s Class Wars

Power To The People? (1x3)

:

As Darren examines the power imbalance which lies at the heart of social class, he begins to question whether the system is rigged. Just who has the power? Meeting a living history buff, he finds out how class was first militarised by the Roman Army – a legacy which carries through today in the British Army. Returning to his Pollok birthplace, he meets two anti-poll tax aristocrats who fought Margaret Thatcher's government over their policy, and travels to Inverclyde to witness a community battling rampant health inequalities and the legacy of the coronavirus pandemic. Setting his sights on the workplace, Darren discusses the worrying increase in suicide and meets a campaign group trying to challenge the seemingly unstoppable rise of zero-hours contracts.
