The Secret Covid Report REVEALED | The Mallen Baker Show
As European countries are locking down again in the face of the pandemic, we discover the previously secret UK government advice directing its actions as we go into the predicted second wave. Plus, we review the week’s news and discuss the downsides of campaigns to feed hungry children.
The Mallen Baker Show is aimed at all people who see themselves as change makers, with commentary on issues and change movements with a particular focus on climate change and environment, social issues, free speech and corporate social responsibility.

Boris Johnson has left the building - before launching a broadside against the Parliamentary Privileges Committee process just before it delivered its damning verdict. It found that he had lied repeatedly - which isn't much of a shock. The question is this. Was this the system upholding its commitment to integrity in public life? Or was it a politically biased hatchet job carrying out an act of sabotage against Johnson's hopes of a return? Indeed - could it be both at the same time? Let's discuss.

In this round-up of the week, one of the most pessimistic self-described 'alarmists' David Wallace-Wells, concludes that the worst case scenario that fuelled his famous 'the uninhabitable earth' arguments is now unlikely to happen. Nike is sued by transgender engineer Jazz Lyles for failing to use the right pronouns. And Timothy Litzenburg, the man who helped sue Monsanto, is allegedly caught trying to blackmail other companies for 200 million dollars.

Are we in the thick of the new climate war, as climate scientist Michael Mann suggests in his latest book? Or are we in a place where science and politics are getting too closely mixed together? Or maybe even both? Let’s have a look.

A new paper looks at types of scientific censorship, who is doing the censoring and why, what topics are particularly prone to it, and asks the question what can be done. Let's discuss.

On my way to the Community Business conference in Hong Kong to talk about corporate social responsibility and what it means to live a life guided by your values.
In preparation for the event, there's a Partner's summit at the British Council, an LGBT-themed walking tour of Hong Kong and some reflections on what does it mean for CSR now that Donald Trump is the President-Elect of the US.
I'm hosted by Kate Vernon and Fern Ngai of Community Business.

According to reports, we’re facing the beepocalypse. Pollinators are dying out, and the result will be much of our food will disappear with bee extinction.
If true, it’s seriously worrying.
But is it true? Let’s have a look.

In this news round-up of the week, Ukraine faces its most critical period since the start of the war as its ammunition supply dwindles, China is rattling sabres in the South China Sea - and not just toward Taiwan, a would-be eco-terrorist is jailed for 13 years, and everyone wants to get your online data. Whether you like it or not.

Brewdog has had to pay out £1000 to Dr Thomas Bower after it refused to serve him one of its 'Pink IPA' beers (created to make a statement about the gender pay gap) because he is a man. In order to get served the beer, he had to claim that he identified as a woman.
Was this a case of a great authentic company picked on by a jerk?
Or clumsy woke posturing called out?
Let's discuss.
