Strong Message Here - History Will Judge You (with Stewart Lee)

Download History Will Judge You (with Stewart Lee)

Stewart Lee joins Armando again this week. With a by-election on, we look away from the present day and think about how history will judge politicians.

Some of the language in the recent Tony Blair documentary piques Armando's interest, and we also look at how Boris Johnson and Gordon Brown use language (or lack thereof) to cement their own post-premiership legacies.

We also look at the politic-speak creeping into Royal statements, Gerry Adams on a trampoline, and the furore over language at the BAFTAs
