Warning - this episode was recorded remotely and there are moments when George sounds like he’s in space. We apologise for the poor sound quality in those moments but he’s so worth listening to hopefully substance makes up for styleGeorge Monbiot is a  journalist, author, and environmental and political activist. He writes a regular column for The Guardian and has written several books. In 2023 he went viral on Question Time having finally been asked back after a long hiatus. Jemma and Marina kick the episode off with that barnstorming clip when George let us know what he really thought about the Rwanda policy. Spoiler alert - he wasn’t keen. The Trawl ladies are fascinated to learn about his time at Oxford university and why the culture wasn’t for him. He was there at the same time as some of the most infamous members of the Bullingdon Club…. say no more. It goes without saying there’s climate conversation, politics chat and clips with a man Marina and Jemma could listen to all day. Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast
