Podcasts about Our Future Our Choice

Femi was our guest on this episode of Chatter. The Law graduate turned Twitter star and Our Future Our Choice campaigner has had more opportunity than most journalists to talk to Brexiteers in parliament, in the media, and on the streets around the country. I was keen to get an insight into his thinking on our currently political situation, how facts have disappeared from political conversation, how detail has been replaced with emotion and feelings, and if there is any way out of our current mess.

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.

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.

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!

In this episode, team Noonan, Dunleavy and Offord talk feminism, grief and what we can learn from drag queens and the Spice Girls with the truly divine Jayde Adams, and Hannah gets Lara Spirit of the excellent Our Future Our Choice on the blower to ask what the fuck just happened in the bin fire that is Brexit. There's more Australian Open chat in Jenny Off The Blocks, a sporty sexism of the week, three bits of good news in the Bush Telegraph and Dunleavy Does Disney's Inside Out. No, she's not okay, hun.

Femi Oluwole is a spokesperson for Our Future Our Choice, a group of young people campaigning to stop Brexit. He’s gone head to head with key pro-Brexit figures including Nigel Farage and Katie Hopkins and it’s only a matter of time before he’s invited onto Question Time. The son of Nigerian doctors he grew up in the North East of England and had moved 14 times by the age of 14, later studying EU law in Brussels and Vienna.   On this episode we cover: His busy life trying to block Brexit Spending his life on Mega Bus and not sleeping Visiting the Northern Irish border The sheep farmer who will quit if Brexit goes ahead Lisa’s Brexit confessions Sane leavers v the not very sane Stalking Nigel Farage Arguing with Nigel Farage Being vilified by The Daily Mail and Daily Express Studying EU law Being born in 1990 Lisa makes a drugs confession Summing up the single market for David Cameron Why people voted Brexit The political class and ‘elites’ Japan, Nissan, 27,000 factory jobs and Sunderland London and the Metropolitan elite British Immigrants in London The jobs and investment being in London Social integration Outside of London being neglected Voting out when you thought we would stay in What Femi did on the night of the election Lisa’s election result night confession from Soho (yes another confession) And sorry to the mixed race couple we totally embarrassed on referendum result night How leavers might think we’re pathetic Being born in Darlington but moving to Middlesbrough, Dundee, Swansea, Birmingham, Worcestershire, Nottingham and more. Blaming Will Smith, The Fresh Prince and Kenan and Kal for his American accent Moving to Brussels – and who has the best chips (mayonnaise or Samurai sauce) The true spirit of Europe British weapons being used by Saudi Arabia in Yemen Why people are against the Human Rights Act His Dad being born next to Highbury Stadium Casual racism he experienced as a child (his magic hand!) Feeling special His Nigerian doctor parents Posh, wealthy Nigerian NHS doctors from the EU and abroad – EU making up 10% of our doctors Immigrants are keeping us alive Would we want to pick fruit? Working in bars How Vienna is the prettiest city he’s been to Working for the EU’s Fundamental Right’s Agency Ditching law due to his ‘hero complex’ and wanting to make a difference Leaving before he lost his soul His twitter following Heading into Birmingham’s Bullring with a EU placard ‘Some random kid from Darlington leading the EU debate’ Experts and not trusting experts Trump’s #fakenews Within 5 year of the referendum how the population will be remainers Inderef1 and the people’s vote Being no way to solve the Northern Irish border situation, the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and EU lorries The danger of leaving the EU without having a say in the rules How we were top of the pile in the UE What Femi will do if we leave the EU How people will feel if it Brexit doesn’t go ahead The will of the people cannot be undermined by another referendum – if the will of the people is to change our minds then that is the will of the people Not seeing a decent Brexit plan –Chequers Being in economic interest to do business with our closest neighbours Femi for Prime Minister! Moving number 10 to Birmingham Not liking London – cycling, talking to people, being isolating and too warm. The inequalities and heat of Nigeria and outside Lagos, gated communities, corruption and crime Studying an Erasmus year abroad in France The romantic complexities of falling in love with a French lesbian, getting cheated on by a German Daring to say anything in French People’s personalities changing when they speaking another language Working a ski season in a hotel in France How he’s too crazy to drink alcohol Skiing in a cape and swimming shorts Living in 14 houses by the time he was 14 The Back Street Boys in Bromsgrove    

TWO WEEKS IN THE MAKING, at long last we can bring you another mammoth episode of "the slick Reel Politik" (Gaby Hinsliff, the Observer). Our topic was Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan and his sad descent from beloved comedy writer to transphobic Twitter crank, but we didn't get onto that for at least 45 minutes, as we felt obliged to make room for some of our favourite slug MPs (a clue...MIWK!), a discussion of Labour's milquetoast weed policy, clips from our first World Cup commentary and forthcoming Tim Farron play, and an expansion on last week's hate-filled diatribe on the utterly pernicious astroturf enterprise Our Future Our Choice, and their connections to the hated Macron regime and Donald Trump's State Department. We're joined by Alex Moore (@alexdotmoore on Twitter), a witty & clever (and incredibly young) comrade from the fake country of "Northern Ireland", who gives us both Irish and trans perspectives on the Repeal referendum, and how Glinner sought to twist the facts of what happened in aid of his bigoted vendetta against trans people. Lots of slugs get salted. It's good.

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.

This week, this particular week I traveled to a place to meet with two of the most exciting groups in politics today, Our Future Our Choice and Remainer Now. Remainer now speak with people that have had second thoughts about their decisions to vote leave in the 2016 Referendum. OFOC focus on talking with the younger voters that also took part in that ref but also to those too young to vote but of course now can. Do you ever wish you had a thicker brand of Ketchup or a hotdog that is slightly less dog and more hedgehog? Well look no further because this weeks sponsor of the show 'Calipsogina' are a new firm based in La Foyer Andorra selling thick ketchup and hedgedogs like you've never had them before. Order your thick ketchup and suspicious hedgedogs now and quote 'Limehouse Pod' for your first free 1ml bottle of truly thick ketchup. Go to www.calipsogina.com/thick Enjoy this weeks episode and remember a hedgehog is just as tasty as a 2% real meat hotdog, but not quite.

In this episode, team Noonan, Dunleavy and Offord chat to author Helen Walmsley-Johnson about her new memoir, Look What You Made Me Do, a devastating but brilliant account of domestic violence and coercive control. Language enthusiast Kathy Salaman joins the team to discuss all things swearing and finally put to rest the question of whether profanity's a sign of low intelligence or being really fucking cool (place your bets now, kids), and Our Future Our Choice co-founder Lara Spirit talks about the youth campaign aiming to democratically stop Brexit.There's ass-kicking birds, evil laughter and Trump ridiculousness in the Bush Telegraph, makeup and Kate Middleton in Sexism of the Week, sportsings in Jenny Off The Block and Dunleavy Does Disney's Up.Oh, and though we don't usually do a warning and cuss like sailors, this week, we are particularly sweary-ass motherfuckers.
