Paid Patreon subscribers get access to tickets ONE HOUR EARLIER at 9am What's the bigger threat to free speech: the ‘woke mob', or the MAGA word police? Where's the line between free speech and hate speech? How can you have free market of ideas - when most of the media is owned by political suck-ups? Is free speech actually free if some people have more free speech than others? And with ‘free speech crusaders' censoring anyone whose views they dislike… WHAT DOES ‘FREE SPEECH' EVEN MEAN ANYMORE? Journalist and political activist Femi Oluwole joins Helena Wadia and Mathilda Mallinson to put the mainstream media's ‘free speech' debates under the microscope: from the arresting of keyboard criminals, to the abduction of students calling attention to Palestine, to the hypocrisy of MAGA leaders, and the social media algorithms shaping public discourse.

In today's episode I interview Femi Oluwole! Femi is a British political activist and one of the most prominent voices in the anti-Brexit movement. He co-founded the group Our Future Our Choice (OFOC), which aimed to mobilize young people against Brexit, advocating for a second referendum on the UK's membership in the European Union. He's also a unique individual in that he straddles both traditional and social media in spreading awareness about Brexit, as well as conducting debates.

It's official. The election results are in and we are in the era of a Labour government.

Joining Nish and Coco to analyse all the seismic shifts is political journalist, Zoe Grünewald.

The polls are indicating a landslide victory for Labour come the election on July 4th. But that hasn't stopped the calls - from both the left and the right - for citizens to vote tactically. But what does that really mean in Britain's broken electoral system?Joining Nish and Coco on the PSUK sofa is Femi Oluwole, activist and campaigner, and Joe Twyman, a seasoned pollster covering his 9th election. Together they discuss whether this is an election for people to vote with their heart or if being “strategic” is more important and whether our new parliament has any hope of delivering long overdue reform to our electoral system.We also hear from Jessica Garland from the Electoral Reform Society.Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media. Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukWhatsApp: 07494 933 444 (UK) or + 44 7494 933 444 (internationally)Insta: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTwitter: https://twitter.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/podsavetheworld Guests:Femi Oluwole, YouTube Campaigner, Tactical Voting activistJoe Twyman, Co-founder and director of Deltapoll Audio Clips:Sky NewsBBCITVChannel 5PoliticsJoe Useful links:Come to see Pod Save the UK live at Edinburgh Fringe!https://www.gov.uk/registertovotehttps://www.getvoting.orghttps://tactical.votehttps://stopthetories.vote/https://www.sprintforpr.uk/

Coco and her special guest Femi Oluwole pore over the bin fire that was the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester. Was Sunak strengthened or weakened by the whole HS2 fiasco - and what was the thinking behind wheeling out his wife for a surprise appearance?

The SDLP's Matthew O'Toole explains the real world effects of the collapse of power sharing - including on the country's drinking water. He also tells us why being in Stormont right now is like being on the set of The Shining.Plus Femi has some tips for budding activists, and reflects on the personal toll of putting himself in the firing line by calling out Brexit lies.

The coronation of King Charles III is just a couple days away and he's the first new British monarch to be crowned in 70 years. But according to recent polls, the majority of young people in the country don't seem to care for it. The royal event comes at a difficult time for the U.K. There's a cost of living crisis, strikes by health-care workers and the country is on its third prime minister in less than a year. With media estimates suggesting the coronation could cost British taxpayers 100 million pounds ($170 million CDN), are the Royal Family and their traditions out of touch with the lives of average British citizens? And if so, what could that mean for the future of the monarchy? Featuring: Anna Whitelock, British historian specializing in the history of the monarchy. Femi Oluwole, political commentator and anti-Brexit activist. For transcripts of this series, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/podcastnews/nothing-is-foreign-transcripts-listen-1.6732059

We also hear Rachel Johnson's views on lazy work-from-homers and Femi Oluwole pointing out that Boris doesn't have the expertise to dismiss the Government's economists. In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Ken Ham, This is Spinal Tap, Dana White and Frederick Forsyth.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made upThen we talk about Tucker Carlson's meltdown over the Biden Administration's plan to crack down on misinformation.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft99 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on Twitter @FallaciousTrump, or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

My guest this episode is political reporter, activist and writer Femi Oluwole. Femi was a leading voice for the Remain campaign in the 2016 Brexit election, building a huge platform across social media in the hopes of making politics more accessible to us everyday folk through his easy-to-understand video content and political breakdowns. Since then, Femi has appeared on panel shows, wrote for leading newspapers and debated some of the most controversial figures in U.K politics including ex-UKIP leader Nigel Farage and ex-GMB presenter Piers Morgan. His goal is clear- to hold our Government to account, and in the face of horrendous racial abuse and backlash online Femi continues to rise. One huge take-away from this episode? Never underestimate the guy in the t-shirt.

In this episode Dan White, Mik Scarlet and Zec Richardson are joined by broadcaster & EU expert Femi Oluwole! They will be talking about BREXIT & the already felt implications for disability & Care

IT IS THE END. Sorry to be dramatic, I had to get your attention. It's the end of season 2 and I'm just...y'know, emotional about it. It's been a ride, eh? Through this series we've met some incredible people, learnt about some amazing emotions, and we've all had a little cry. Oh, just me on that last one? Right.Anyway, to celebrate the end, here's a few snippets of some great interviews that I didn't get to include- we have Nish Kumar and I geeking out about comedy, Dr Soph Mort telling us it's ok to be sad, and Femi Oluwole explaining why a lot more people voted Brexit than some of us expected. I've also thrown in a few new emotions too- feelings that don't necessarily fill up a whole podcast, but I think you'd like to hear about anyway!Thanks so much for listening and getting in touch this series; it's so lovely to know there are people out there! If you want to say hi, come find me on twitter @getemotionalpod. And, as mentioned in the show, I got nominated for an award this week- hurray! It's for Moment of Raw Emotion at the International Women's Podcast Awards, and mostly I'm just thrilled to be called an International Woman. And don't worry- there's a new series on the way very soon. The guests are bookin' in and the emotions are bubblin' up- so far we have words like Treppenwitz, The Ick, and Kaukokaipuu to look forward to. See you soon..!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/getting-emotional. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Step aside, Paxman! There's a new political interviewer in town! Well, kind of. Because today I'm delving into 'qualunquismo', a word that has befuddled my autocorrect and my own tongue, as I learn to both spell and pronounce it. This feeling comes from Italy, and was coined in the post-war period to describe a political movement that tried to rally against party politics. It's influenced by apathy bordering on contempt, for politics and the politicians within- a mistrust of the whole political spectrum. This 'meh-ism' may explain why voting turnout is down, people feel less engaged, and the electorate sometimes...doesn't care.To discuss this emotion, I spoke to Femi Oluwole, a fantastically astute, outspoken and intelligent political campaigner. You may know him as a commentator on various TV or Radio shows, or for his fantastic presence on twitter. (Or you may not know him at all- that's ok too!) Femi talks me through what motivated him to get engaged in politics, how he does it, and why he thinks it's hard to motivate some of the public to think that their voice can make a change too. Also, full warning: there is a little (but not too much) Brexit chat. If you want to find Femi on twitter, he's @femi_sorry, and I'm there too, @getemotionalpod. Come say hi! It would be lovely to say hello to a listener or two!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/getting-emotional. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Look, it's been a while. I know that, you know that. But I promise all this time away from the mic hasn't been in vain- I've been cooking up a rather brilliant new series for you. I have great guests! I have great emotions! I have great sound effects! What more could you want, eh?!Guests this series include comedians Nish Kumar and Angela Barnes, Paul Anthony Jones (aka Haggard Hawks), Femi Oluwole and Dr Sophie Mort. Plus I have some other little surprises up my sleeve too. So this is just a little reminder- a Save The Date, if you will- that Series 2 is dropping SOON. And boy, is it going to be emotional...Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/getting-emotional. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Femi left his law degree to fully dedicate his time and energy to campaign for Britain to remain in the EU. Despite the death threats and hardships that revolve around such a big stand, he believes that someone needs to be out there taking control and educating the public on what our politicians don't tell us.  He started off with 20 followers on Twitter but he still believed his voice could make a change. Now with almost a quarter of a million of followers online, he's become an inspiration to many young people across the country.

Greg Dyke thinks if you're a royal, press intrusion comes with the territory.He says if Prince Harry and Meghan are "struggling to cope" with the press coverage they could leave royalty behind and move abroad. But do the panel agree? Carole Malone thinks parliament has "repeatedly betrayed voters and democracy" and says the handling of Brexit has been "the greatest political embarrassment of modern times". Michelle Dewberry says a "pitiful" number of prosecutions have followed against soldiers who worked at Nazi concentration camps. She thinks they should all face jail, despite their age, and even if they weren't directly involved in killings.Prince William and Kate visited Pakistan recently and took every opportunity to wear a sherwani. But Nick Ferrari wants to know, what is appropriate when it comes to cultural appropriation? Sainsbury's has announced that they will not be selling fireworks in any of their stores.Femi Oluwole suggests we "do what we can to shield" our animals from any distress and insists the ban is unnecessary.

Femi Oluwole is a political activist and co-founder of Our Future Our Choice, a pro-European advocacy group. Femi left his dream job when he saw the misinformation that was prevalent in the lead up to Brexit and took to social media to try and help educate the country, as we are currently hurtling towards a Brexit that neither Leave nor Remain voted for.   Femi has built a large audience online and has publicly debated figures like Nigel Farage, Katie Hopkins and Piers Morgan. We normally interview creatives who felt a calling to do what they do, Femi says he felt a duty so we dived into what that looks like.

On this week's episode of The Pledge:Rachel Johnson, the prime minister's sister, discusses Boris Johnson's alleged relationship with Jennifer Arcuri, the American model turned technology entrepreneur, who it is claimed was given more than £100,000 in public money when the PM was mayor of London. Femi Oluwole says Mr Johnson's critics need to be careful and not get distracted by focusing on whether or not Mr Johnson had an affair with Ms Arcuri.Also, are Extinction Rebellion's goals realistic? Carole Malone and Andrew Pierce argue that Extinction Rebellion's goals cannot be achieved by 2025 without severe limitations on air travel and car usage.

Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question this week are Gisela Stuart, former Chair of Vote Leave and Labour MP; Natalie Bennett, former leader of the Green party; Femi Oluwole, co-founder of Our Future Our Choice and Liam Halligan, Telegraph Columnist.

Guests: Darwood Grace, Nels Abbey and Femi Oluwole I believe 'Brexit' will have a negative economic impact on the UK. As for how it will effect us as Black people specifically; let us have a look at Tory austerity as a reaction to the 2008 financial crisis. Black women and children were hit the hardest. Yet, the crisis and subsequent recession were a direct result of the financial sector and collusion with the political class. Every aspect of government assistance and delivery of services was negatively impacted; from underfunding schools in poor ethnic minority areas to the closing of our youth centres or perhaps the lack of appropriate funds. Oversight and regulations and their relation to the Grenfell tower massacre is an even better example.

The boys chat to Femi Oluwole on antics in the European Parliament. Plus reaction to England Women's defeat, a musical sportsperson, a BBC cover-up, and what is the Citizenship question?

Yes, we're all bored of Brexit. And it's hard to keep up with what politician is making what terrible decision. Sometimes it's easier to just look the other way. But that's literally the worst thing we can do. On Thursday 24 May, I urge you all to vote in the European election.   Femi Oluwole breaks it down for us, giving us a 101 of what these elections mean. As a co-founder of pro-European Union advocacy group Our Future Our Choice, he says, "if you're bored of Brexit, you cannot let Brexit happen. It should be your boredom fuelling you to get involved in this issue."   While the leaders of our country battle it out, determined to mess up our future, we need to make our voices heard. We need to show up to vote, because if Farage wins, we're in a very dangerous territory.   You can keep up-to-date with Femi's Tweets here: @Femi_Sorry   And for more information on how to vote and where your local voting station is, visit https://wheredoivote.co.uk   To find out more about Gurls Talk or to send us your artwork, poetry or anything you want to share, visit www.gurlstalk.com or find us on Instagram @GurlsTalk.   Oh, and did I mention to VOTE ON THURSDAY!

Since the EU referendum in 2016 the lives of two people have been completely taken over by Brexit. Femi Oluwole had been studying law and had just begun a career in European human rights. Owen Reed was 16 and still at school in 2016. But both these men became political activists and have been campaigning ever since. We spoke to them both about the last two years and discovered that despite being in opposite camps they share some views.

A leadership challenge against Theresa May is “very unlikely” according to former Brexit minister David Jones.   Mr Jones, who was sacked by Mrs May in January’s Cabinet reshuffle, told Chopper’s Brexit Podcast the Prime Minister had come out from this week’s votes as “an increased figure”.   He said: “It is very unlikely – I don’t see any reason why there should be. The fact is we should all now be focused on getting the best deal for the country as we go through the Brexit process.   “We have only got nine months until we leave the European Union. We couldn’t afford a three month Conservative leadership process which is what that would amount to.”   Mr Jones said Dominic Grieve, the former Attorney General, was “very unwise” to have been caught meeting with anti-Brexit groups like Best for Britain.   Mr Jones said: “He has been at pains to say that he has not been trying to damage the Brexit process but frankly attending what appeared to be secret meetings in Europe house which used to be Conservative party headquarters is not doing him any favours and I think he will live to regret that.”   Also on Chopper’s Brexit Podcast, Tim Bentinck, who plays the lead role of David Archer on Radio 4’s The Archers, says that the long-running serial is scrupulously about not being biased in favour of Brexit.   Bentinck said: “The Archers has always been apolitical. If they ever ever delve into politics you will find that one person will come up with one side of the argument, someone else will come up with the other side of the argument.   “That argument will be balanced and it will never be a resolution to that argument.”   Bentinck declined to say how the fictional characters voted in the referendum – but he suggested David Archer’s farming rival Brian Aldridge would have backed Leave.   He said: “Archers can’t be political – it really can't. Who knows what they actually voted in the referendum – but clearly Brian voted to leave didn’t he?”   Other guests are Tory MP Bob Seely, who has written a paper about Russia’s projection of its influence in the UK, Femi Oluwole , co-founder of Our Future, Our Choice on why the UK needs a second vote on the Brexit deal, and James Rothwell, the Telegraph’s Brexit Correspondent on the fate of Penka the cow.   Chopper’s Brexit Podcast is available here from 6am: https://choppersbrexitpodcast.telegraph.co.uk/

It’s inefficient Euro-socialist overmanning time as we present a special, super-extended episode of Remainiacs with not one but TWO special guests.First the fantastic FEMI OLUWOLE of youth campaign Our Future Our Choice tells us why he gave up a promising career to fight Brexit, how young people are the ones who can turn this mess around… and why everyone turns into a worse version of themselves on social media.Then the legend that is BILLY BRAGG comes in to explain some hard truths about the working class concerns that led to Brexit, why we should be making the case to remain and reform… and play us some tunes from his current album ’Bridges Not Walls’ too. Hold tight for one-off renditions of ‘England, Half English’ and (yes) ’Full English Brexit’. Plus: The latest round-up of Theresa May’s miserable performance on the Customs Union and Windrush. Is Thanos from ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ really a Brexiter? And should we be listening to the legitimate concerts of voters in Ward/Area?“We’ve got to remember that Leavers voted to make the country better too. And when you ask them how it’s going, they think it’s going really badly…”This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ian Dunt and Naomi Smith. Audio production: Jack Claramunt.

Femi Oluwole, co-founder of the campaigning group 'Our Future Our Choice', talks to Paul Adamson about the growing mobilisation of young Britons who are fighting Brexit.

Can Brexit be stopped?Femi Oluwole thinks so. He’s set up the campaign, Our Future, Our Choice, to make the case for a second referendum.The 27-year-old argues that young people are being robbed of the chance to dictate their own future.He says that by 2021 the majority of the UK population will be remain.This is because leave voters, who were older, are dying out and being replaced by younger voters, the majority of whom are in favour of staying in the EU.“Within four or five years of the referendum we will have population that wants to Remain.“Pursuing Brexit knowing it’s against the will of the people who will be living with Brexit is a democratic failure” he says.Femi says the only answer is another referendum on the terms of the deal.And it has to be done in the next 12 months or Britain would only be able to return to the EU on worst terms.Talking to the Mirror's Jason Beattie, he explains why he started Our Future, Our Voice, how he is reaching out to areas which voted to leave and why the 2016 referendum was a failure by both camps.He also gives a very simple explanation of the single market.
