Episode Details

Your Heard Tell show for Wednesday, June 29th, 2022 is turning down the news cycle noise and getting to the information we need on how the combined elected and police bureaucracy in Uvalde is stonewalling, delaying, distracting, and just plain doing "CYA" to any attempted by reporters to get to the truth of what happened during the massacre at Robb Elementary and the policy response to it, we'll go to Uvalde armed with a Tolstoy quote about truth. As we've been covering on Heard Tell, Sweden and Finland are poised to join NATO, but now that an "agreement" has been announced that the parties have mollified Turkey's concern the question is what did Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan get for dropping his interference. Our guest today is from Young Voice UK, our friend Alys Watson Brown returns to Heard Tell. We talk UK politics, how neither PM Boris Johnson or opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer have been covering themselves or their parties in glory, but the present status quo may go for a while. Also, the rising economic issues in the UK as with much of the world such as inflation and cost of living are dominating headlines and changing policy and political priorities. Also, Alys has been writing about America's FDA, and that government entities relentless crusade against not only smoking, but vaping and other smoking alternatives as well. Alys talks not just the duplicitous and question policy, but also puts a personal spin on how public health should be about improving the public's health, not just politically expedient crusading. Plus, a man in Alabama is dressed hilariously wrong for his drug bust, and some good news on how the people of the UK are rising to the cost of living challenges by increasing their charitable giving despite it. All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.
