Andrew Maxwell's Public Enemies: Nationalism

Nationalism

BBC Radio 4 - Andrew Maxwell's Public Enemies, Nationalism

Andrew explores the reasons for joining nationalist organisations.

Nationalism is the focus for Andrew’s probe behind the lazy assumptions about threats to British society. From 2013.

Andrew looks at Nationalists, from a variety of movements, who are easy to demonise. So very, very easy. 

But rather than do that - and it really is very easy - Andrew will explore the reasons for joining such organisations and the logical outcomes of their policies.

Andrew Maxwell is one of the UK's most informed and fearless stand ups. In this series of one-off stand up shows, he uses his trademark intelligence and political incisiveness to dig behind the clichés and assumptions about four possible threats to British society.  

Series showcasing a comedian at the top of his abilities tackling difficult and important 'slow news' topics with a depth and perceptiveness that remains outside the remit of mainstream 'topical' comedy.

Written and performed by Andrew Maxwell.

Script edited by Paul Byrne.

Producer: Ed Morrish

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in November 2013.
