In 2022, dozens of people were arrested for planning an attempted coup to overthrow the German government.
It was linked to the ‘Reichsbürger‘, a disparate movement of conspiracists who believe the current government in Germany is illegitimate.
We spoke to Claire Burchett, an expert on the radical right in Germany, about the so-called ‘Reichsbürger plot’, the broad set of beliefs behind it, and its links to the far-right and the military.
Ali and Paul also fact-checked some of the statements made in the SNP leadership election, and in Paul’s Curiousity Corner we explain a bizarre claim that a bank collapse in the US was caused by its ‘woke’ policies.
Show notes:
- Some background on the Reichsbürger.
- Our fact check on the SNP leadership debates.
