Darren McGarvey’s Class Wars

Power To The People? (1x3)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Şub 23, 2021

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.
