Story
In this acclaimed investigation, Owen Jones explores how the working class has gone from 'salt of the earth' to 'scum of the earth.' Exposing the ignorance and prejudice at the heart of the chav caricature, he portrays a far more complex reality. The chav stereotype, he argues, is used by governments as a convenient fig leaf to avoid genuine engagement with social and economic problems and to justify widening inequality.

Story
Behind our democracy lurks a powerful but unaccountable network of people who wield massive power and reap huge profits in the process. In exposing this shadowy and complex system that dominates our lives, Owen Jones sets out on a journey into the heart of our Establishment, from the lobbies of Westminster to the newsrooms, boardrooms and trading rooms of Fleet Street and the City.

Story
The Behind The Smile Series is the story of Lek, a bar girl in Pattaya, Thailand. Lek was born the eldest child of four in a typical rice farming family in the northern rice belt of Thailand. A catastrophe occurred out of the blue one day – her father died young with huge debts that the family knew nothing about. Lek was just twenty years of age, and the only one who could prevent the foreclosure of the family farm, and allow her younger sister and two brothers to continue their education. However, the only way she knew how was to go to work in her cousin’s bar in Pattaya.

Story
Some might say she’s crazy, that her sanity cracked the night she lost her business, her best friend, and her house in one great margarita-themed disaster. But not Lucy; she knows that the final straw was when Zack—Mr. "I’m your infuriatingly laid-back yet impossibly ripped new yoga teacher"—decided to put in a competing offer to buy her childhood home. Which, as it turns out, neither of them can actually afford. But Lucy isn’t a type-A perfectionist for nothing: There is no way she’s backing down without those front door keys in her hand.

Story
On 12th December 2019, the left died. That at least was the view of much of Britain's media and political establishment, who saw the electoral defeat of Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party as the damning repudiation of everything it stood for. Yet, just over four years previously, the election of Corbyn as Labour leader seemed like a sea-change in politics: reanimating not just a party in apparently terminal decline but a country adrift, with a transformative vision based on a more just, more equal society and economy.

Story
Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the ...

Snoring is a common issue that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterised by harsh, vibrating sounds during sleep and can be caused by a partial obstruction of the airway. Not only can snoring disrupt the sleep of the person snoring, but it can also affect the sleep of bed partners, leading to feelings of frustration and resentment.

I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful, and profitable. When most people hear the phrase martial arts, they usually think of those of the Far East, and it is true that most of the ancient martial arts that people have heard of did originate there. However, most countries also developed fighting skills may centuries ago. For example, boxing and wrestling featured in the Olympic Games in Greece thousands of years ago.

Story
Lek was born the eldest child of four in a typical rice farming family. She did not expect to do anything any different from the other girls in her class in the northern rice belt of Thailand. Typically that would be: work in the fields for a few years; have a few babies; give them to mum to take care of and get back to work until her kids had their own children, and it would be her turn to stop working to take care of them.
