travels in euroland.

we watched this three parter last night and this evening.
it's ed balls, going to different countries of europe and questioning people about the political situation where they live, and about the rise of the far right.
it's really interesting (and a little scary in places).
i quite like ed balls, he comes across as someone you would like to have round to dinner.
the programmes are worth a watch and are available on player (the first until saturday).

I’ve seen one and intended to catch the rest but not done so yet

Ed lives locally, and there are very occasionally opportunities to hear him discuss a topic with an audience, but so far I’ve missed them, reports are good

I watched them recently. Thought the angle taken was very interesting and well done. Very thought provoking. He seems very down to earth.

Good programmes and by talking to local people (not the politicians), understanding their uneasiness.

I dream of getting on a train and find myself sitting next to someone like Ed Balls, probably be tongue tied.
