WTF: What have we done? Why did it happen? How do we take back control? - Robert Peston Audiobook

Shared by:daenigma100
There has been a people’s revolt against the way the West has been run. Brexit, Trump, the recent British and French elections saw millions of people shouting that they were sick to death of things never getting better. In WTF Robert Peston gives us his highly personal account of what those who have ruled us for years got so badly wrong, and what we need to do to mend the terrible fractures in our society.
Peston wrote WTF because the elections of Trump, the Corbyn surge, the vote for Brexit all challenged how he thought the world could and should be run. With characteristic passion and clarity he looks at how and whether it is possible to make a success of leaving the EU, what the lessons should be of the appalling Grenfell Tower tragedy, whether robots can be stopped from taking our work, what can be done to staunch the widening gap between rich and poor, how to raise living standards for all, and what must happen to prevent democracy being subverted by technocratic geniuses with the ability to manipulate social media.
These are the challenges of our age, because the combination of economic stagnation and a technological revolution is killing jobs, enriching the few and undermining the institutions we used to trust as the foundations of the state. What and who can we believe when it is almost impossible to know whether posts on Facebook and Twitter are hard news or the fabrication of a Russian agent?
As in his bestsellers, WHO RUNS BRITAIN? and HOW DO WE FIX THIS MESS?, Robert Peston draws on his years of experience as a political, economics and business journalist, to show us what has gone bad, and gives us a manifesto to put at least some of it right.
WTF is a trenchant, often entertaining account of the recent past. It is also a call to action, giving hope to all of us who believe that taking back control is not only vital, but possible.

“WE” now have control thank you very much. That’s what the 2016 election was all about.

This book is most likely cancer incarnate. Want to make a claim at inequality and then bash other peoples ideas because yours are better? Libtards.

My objection to this book is, it’s written by Peston, a good friend of David Cameron, as much an architect of inequality, greed, war and insanity as we’ve had for the past forty years, since Thatcher came on. Irritatingly, the synopsis reveals a lot of the political stance of either the reviewer or the book, probably both. Why do Facebook posts have to be either hard news or Russian agents? They’re more likely to be complacent, deluded and ineffectual rightists like a couple of my co-commenters. Thanks for the upload but it’s a bit too smugly loaded for my taste.

another anti-Trump book, it was bad enough with all the gay male crap that was being uploaded on this once good audiobook site, but now here comes the anti-Trump garbage as well. there is no “evidence” of guilt by President Trump, wishful thinking does not count as “Evidence” its been a year, and President Trump is still President, and all the grief and screaming at the sky has accomplished nothing, but you keep right on pumping out this fecal garbage from your closet safe space and President Trump will keep on being in charge of The United States of America.

If even someone like Peston realises there’s a problem, you know the system’s broken.
