Ungagged is a not for profit co-operative, and we rely on the generosity of our listeners. If you’d like to donate us the cost of a newspaper or a cup of coffee, you can do so through PayPal here.
Summer and the time is right for dancing in the street and getting wet. 
 
And protesting the most socially right wing Government since the last one, supported by the bigoted DUP.
Having said that, one small act of resistance at the ballot box has saved many’s a fox… and perhaps hopefully changed the political landscape. 
Podcasting, livestreaming, facebooking, tweeting, instagramming all acts of resistance you have seen and you have taken part in or you have come across online, adds to a narrative of change.  Progressive change. 
The right mastered the use of the TV – that was too costly for you and I to have our own channels on…  that passive screen in which you can do nothing but watch and accept as truth. 
The internet is a game changer.  A place we can resist with our voices and our thoughts and our disgust at the way the billionaire controlled media reframes what is going on to keep their faces deep in the trough of what our misery produces.
Ungagged is one of those small acts of resistance.  Listen and get involved.
