This episode is the last instalment of the European tour we’ve been on for the past few months and what better way to end it with an MEP: Kim van Sparrentak. The European Parliament is a wonderfully complex bureaucratic mess. Although it’s fun for someone who likes political puzzles, it’s horrible to break them away from their capitalist and queerphobic ways.
It’ll be no surprise that this one is a very political episode. We talk about political dog whistles as well as being exposed to politics at a young age, and how sometimes you have to accept that the lesser of two evils sometimes is your best option, instead of always wanting to solve it yourself.
