A murder exploited: Britain’s George Floyd moment that wasn’t
The IntelligenceNigel Farage, leader of the populist-right Reform UK party, wants Britons to be enraged by a killing in the street. We ask why his tone has changed from “colour-blind” to race-baiting. NATO must now take seriously the idea that America is pulling back; we ask how it is adjusting. And why skipping title sequences is forgoing some of television’s magic.
Guests and host:
- Hugo Gye, British political correspondent
- Jonathan Rosenthal, international correspondent
- Andrew Miller, “Back Story” columnist
- Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”
Topics covered:
- British politics, race relations
- NATO, American foreign policy
- television, media
