“If you want fascism to rise, you have to convince white working-class people that their suffering isn’t caused by the elite who strip them of resources — it’s because Black and brown people are here. Muslims are here. Don’t you know?”In this eye-opening episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with multi-award-winning powerhouse Kelechi Okafor and expose the uncomfortable truths the British establishment doesn’t want to confront — from the strategic use of anti-Black propaganda to distract from class warfare, to the growing surveillance state targeting working-class and racialised communities.From the vilification of Diane Abbott to the state’s embrace of surveillance and Britain’s refusal to reckon with slavery reparations, we connect the dots between racism, authoritarianism, and the illusion of inclusion.In this episode, we unpack:🚨 Diane Abbott & the politics of silencing Black women🚨 Britain’s refusal to pay reparations (and who did get paid)🚨 Surveillance tech, the “Brit Card” & the creep of fascism🚨 The class con driving division in the UK🚨 What it takes to build real resistance & trustThis isn't just about racism. It’s about how the power protects itself — and how we can fight back.🎧 Subscribe and listen wherever you get your podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 💬 Join the conversation — we need it now more than ever.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #KelechiOkafor #DianeAbbott #AntiBlackRacism #UKPolitics #SurveillanceState #ReparationsNow #Fascism #WhiteSupremacy #BritainRacism #SolidarityNotSilence #BlackVoicesMatter #TrustEachOtherAUDIO CREDITS Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Kelechi OkaforSenior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant producer: Poppy JacobsVideo Editor: Peter ZacaroliAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.

Genocide for sale & the death of mainstream media!
In this unflinching episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin to confront the media’s complicity in power — and the price of telling the truth.From abused children to erased journalists, this is a brutal exposé on how mainstream media narratives are shaped, sanitised, and sold. We break down how coverage of Gaza and Palestinian lives is distorted — and why "mistake" is the media’s favourite euphemism for mass murder.We go far beyond headlines to expose:🛑 The media’s “mistake” machine: how Israel’s atrocities are rebranded as accidents 🛑 How are Gaza journalists exploited by Western outlets?🛑 What’s behind the media’s blind loyalty to the Israeli narrative?🛑 The Francesca Albanese Report and the complicity of tech giants🛑 The collapse of international lawThis episode lays bare the dehumanisation of Palestinians — and the imperialist playbook behind the headlines. This isn’t a conversation just about media bias — it’s about the fight for truth in an age of surveillance, censorship, and soft fascism.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: [link]🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #GazaGenocide #FrancescaAlbanese #AlbaneseReport #Palestine #TechAndViolence #SurveillanceCapitalism #ArmsTrade #InternationalLaw #WarEconomy #CorporateComplicity #TruthToPowerCREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Ahmed Shihab-Eldin Senior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant producer: Poppy JacobsVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.

The World is a Joke!
In this razor-sharp episode of Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with comedian and political fire-starter Bassem Youssef to unpack the surreal state of power and resistance.Bassem is a former surgeon who swapped scalpels for satire. Dubbed the “Jon Stewart of the Arab world”, Bassem brings his no-holds-barred analysis to questions that many fear to ask — about complicity, distraction, and how the elite keep uprisings in check.From the fallout of the Epstein files to the IDF’s social media storms, we ask:Who’s running the show — and how does humour disrupt their script?Together, we explore the thin line between laughter and dissent — and whether satire still has teeth in an age of spin.🛑 Who gets exposed and who gets protected in the Epstein saga?🛑 What the IDF’s TikTok game tells us🛑 Is comedy still a weapon against power or part of the circus?🛑 Why is Superman making Zionists mad?🛑 Why global uprisings are so easily crushed🛑 The elite playbook: distraction, division, dominationThis isn’t just laughs – because truth rarely sits easily.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations.🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#BassemYoussef #PoliticalComedy #PowerAndResistance #Gaza #Palestine#IDF #Israel #HumorAndPolitics #ComedyAsResistance #EpsteinFiles #Trump #MAGA #Superman #SupermanMovie #Hollywood #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancoisPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Bassem YoussefProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearcher: Lina AdamsVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.
