Rock & Roll Politics with Steve Richards
News:Politics
In the first of a series of Summer Specials Steve Richards reflects on the role of troublemakers in British politics. This is the chance for the whole Rock N Roll Politics co-operative to hear an episode from the Patreon series on troublemakers.
Today Steve focuses on Enoch Powell who made one speech that rightly led to him being sacked from the front bench, never to return. He still managed to torment Prime Ministers from the backbenches and influenced the outcome of at least one general election.
Other episodes in the series are available on Patreon and look at Tony Benn, Robin Cook and Nigel Farage.
