What caused the Great Depression?

The Great Depression was – until recently – the greatest economic disaster since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. And yet we no one seems to know what caused it. At least, no one in the mainstream. Like the First World War we are – often – supposed to believe that it came out of a clear blue sky. In this episode we get a hint – I wouldn’t put it higher than that – of an alternative explanation. 

Also in this episode, London’s Mr Transport makes the case for state control, the Estonian President makes a swift exit, The Times makes some very bold statements on the question of immigration and assimilation. 

And Geordies go head to head with soft southerners and lose.
