A warm welcome today to Alan Shirley GP and Medical Educator to talk about A Fortunate Man: The story of a country doctor. The seminal John Berger and Jean Mohr book which has to a certain extent stood the test of time and has very much been the classic book mentioned when people talk about medical humanities or about books that relate to GP training. It's not a book just for GPs though and and I really enjoyed my conversation with Alan about the elements of this book that are problematic as well as the elements which have stood the test of time and also how beautifully it sits with Polly Morland's more recent book A Fortunate Woman.Alan and I mention a number of models/theories of the consultation and if you want to know more or have forgotten what you once knew this is a great overview https://www.essentialgptrainingbook.com/wp-content/online-resources/04%20consultation%20models.pdfWe mentioned Darren Garvey's superb book Poverty Safari  as well as Bridget Christie's comedy series "The Change" which is available on Channel 4.As ever if you want to buy books I'd always recommend an independent bookshop, my favourite is Scarthin in Cromford and they are amazing online/by phone too:  https://scarthinbooksonline.com/

In this episode I virtually sit down with Darren McGarvey to do a deep dive on his new book The Social Distance Between Us: How Remote Politics Wrecked Britain. In one of my favourite conversations to date we explore all the nuances of class. Darren is already an Orwell prize winning bestselling author, due to his last publication Poverty Safari, as well being a columnist and film maker for the BBC. We discuss, the myth of the meritocracy and the complexities of privilege, how language is used to divide and discriminate, our implicit and explicit class identifiers, working class attitudes to authority and the fascinating idea of class deference. We hit on how certain communities are actively constructed differently to exclude certain populations and there is also a lot of interesting crossover with my own research on homelessness/addiction. Darren also shares his hilarious assessment of our political situation and the political class more generally. Apologises there is a little swearing in this one, but as the old saying goes…swearing is just punctuation where I come from. Copies of his new book can be purchased from his website (link below). https://darrenmcgarvey.com/

Class is a subject that, no matter how much we advance as a society, we seem unable to stop talking about — especially in the UK. Glasgow rapper Darren McGarvey, otherwise known as Loki, has been thinking a lot about it for a new documentary series on the BBC. Over the years, Loki has developed a reputation for scathing social commentaries through his music and writing; three years ago he published a book, Poverty Safari, detailing the rapper's working class upbringing in Scotland and winning the Orwell Prize in the process.On identity politics:'Identity politics is a public relations disaster, because it emerges on Ivy League campuses from young idealistic middle class students who have no idea about the intersection between their very exclusive way of thinking and talking about reality, and working class communities, where a lot of this language just rouses scepticism, and resentment because it's the language of officialdom, it's the language of authority. It's just another generation of people who don't want to listen to working class experiences, and don't want to hear it and people will be dismissed for being aggressive, people will be dismissed for this.' On class division:'One of the great successes of capitalism is that as well as leading to generally higher quality of life for broader numbers of people, access to information technology, innovation, and things of that nature, it also has created parallel societies which have completely different social experiences. They have completely different cultural aspirations. And they have a different sense of identity. Some have an ascribed identity, some have an achieved identity. And so what that does is it puts our democracy and our system under increasing strain. Because as you create parallel societies that don't have to interact with one another, except for basic economic transactions, then people have to come to all sorts of conclusions about the intentions of the people on the other side of the ravine.' On the term working class:'Imagine your house burnt down, but you couldn't use the word fire to describe it. Sometimes we need to use the language of class because it helps us to more clearly articulate some of the trends that we see in society along the lines of employment, education, health and political exclusion. With all this emphasis on social mobility, it's become a sort of a shameful thing that people don't want to describe themselves as.' On his upbringing:'The only people that are harder on working class people than the ruling classes, are other working class people. We regiment one another so strictly in terms of dress, in terms of the range of topics that we're allowed to be interested in and discuss, even in terms of things like nutrition, which is changing a little now, but back then, if you were talking about hummus, and couscous, and all of these other things, that sort of marked you out as somebody who thought they were a little bit better than everyone else. And back then everything that fell out of our frame of reference was just labelled with a synonym “gay”, which just described everything.' On woke capitalism:'Look at how the identity politics has found expression within the capitalist system, ultimately it's led to the Democratic Party and Costa Coffee, and Pret a Manger and all of these, selling cups with rainbow flags on them, while at the same time largely being complicit in a system that economically disadvantages people of all races, of all backgrounds, based on their social class, not on their race, not on their gender. Now, I have to caveat that by saying, there are very specific ways in which people of colour and women and LGBT people and people with disabilities are disadvantaged by our system, both economically and culturally. And these are obvious, and I don't think most people would dispute that fact. But if you do not have the class analysis, that imposed over the other analysis of identity, then what happens is you create quotas that lead to middle class people of colour, middle class people with disabilities, middle class women and LGBT people moving into positions of authority. And while that does represent progress, and I'm not saying that it doesn't, it doesn't address the fundamental inequalities that we say that we're all fighting for.' On the concept of privilege:'Privilege itself is a word that could maybe have been thought through a little better before academics and before activists and students ran onto Facebook, telling everybody, you can't deny my experience, but I can deny your experience. It's not worked out very well. But again, I will say that that's not the Left. That's a product of liberalism. That's almost a product of capitalism in and of itself.'Thanks to Loki for sharing his thoughts on the corrosive effects of identity politics on society, his family's struggles with addiction and alcoholism, and the phoniness of woke capitalism.Read The Post here See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kit de Waal, Darren McGarvey, Adelle Stripe and Michael Chaplin join Shahidha Bari to examine what we mean by ‘working class writing'. Crowd funding has helped bring a new generation of authors into print but is this because mainstream publishing has neglected diverse voices? What experiences do we want to see on the page and stage?

Her debut novel My Name Is Leon was shortlisted for the Costa First Book Award 2016.

'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore'. These are the words of the news anchor-man in the film Network, now adapted for the stage. The director Ivo van Hove tells Francine Stock how this satire on global capitalism and chasing ratings with populist rants has such relevance today. Composer Nico Muhly also looks to Hollywood, adapting Hitchock's film Marnie - and the novel that inspired it - for the English National Opera. Born into poverty, Marnie becomes trapped in a web of lies and angrily claws her way out. Anger pervades Darren McGarvey's book, Poverty Safari, as he takes the reader on a journey into Britain's deprived communities to give voice to people who feel misunderstood and unheard. He explores how stress pervades the streets where he was brought up, while the scientist Caroline Relton studies how stress and other environmental factors can be passed down through generations, affecting our genetic make-up. Producer: Katy Hickman.
