Sep 16, 2026 – Two outspoken British political and media voices. One stage in Johannesburg. No shortage of difficult topics. George Galloway and Yvonne Ridley sit down for an unfiltered conversation spanning Palestine, Israel, Gaza, mainstream media, propaganda, censorship, Islamophobia, South Africa, Britain and the rapidly changing global political landscape.
Featuring:
George Galloway — British Politician, Broadcaster & Writer
Yvonne Ridley — British Journalist, Author & Politician
In a wide-ranging conversation, Galloway and Ridley discuss Israel’s war in Gaza and occupation of Palestinian territory, the international response, and the battle over how Palestine is represented to audiences around the world.
But the conversation goes much further.
Can mainstream media still be trusted?
Has alternative media broken the monopoly over who gets to shape public opinion — or simply created new echo chambers?
What is the role of propaganda in modern conflict?
What happens when journalists, broadcasters and activists challenge dominant narratives?
And why do Islamophobia and xenophobia continue to find political currency in Britain, South Africa and elsewhere?
From the politics of the Middle East to the political fault lines of the UK and South Africa, this is a conversation about media, power, narrative and who gets heard.
Two speakers known for refusing to shy away from controversial subjects.
