For You Politics ft. Will Davies
🕑 Added 2025-07-22 10:43:58 +0000 UTCSociologist and political economist Will Davies joins the show to talk about his recent forays into Faragist TikTok, and what it tells us about Britain’s online habits, and how it’s influencing contemporary politics. Will talks to us about how the For You Page became the dominant organisational system for using social media, and how this has created an anti-social environment. He also explains how online induced paranoia seeped into the real world, convincing people that they are being scammed and persistently lied to, resulting in an angrier, more confrontational politics that nobody, including Nigel Farage, knows how to contain or control in the long term.
