Episode Details

On this Heard Tell Good Talks, guest Alys Watson Brown of Young Voices joins us from England to give the UK perspective on Ukraine, the Russian invasion, and the pressure put upon Vladimir Putin and his oligarch friends. Alys discusses how the river of Russian money that has flowed into the UK in recent years was winked at and tolerated, but now is at the forefront of not only sanctions but questions of political and cultural corruptions. She also discusses the performance of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the pivot from COVID-19 restrictions to sanctions and foreign policy, and how the hangover from Brexit and specter of the Afghanistan withdraw are shaping a new vision of the UK's place in Europe and the world.
