The world according to Yanis. Plus, Kelsey Grammer

This week, street papers from across the globe gathered in Athens. It was a summit looking at how publications like The Big Issue can help those in real poverty work their way back into society.

We caught up with Greek economics pin-up Yanis Varoufakis. He talks bandits, brexit and why The Big Issue model works. Just don’t call him handsome. Got it. Not handsome. Not at all.

Responsible for two of the most famous comedy characters of all time – Frasier and Sideshow Bob – Kelsey Grammer, avowed Republican, dissects the situation in the States that allowed Trump to rise. Great insight.

John Bird, meanwhile, also looks at Trump. The only way to stop such dangerous bar-room bores from moving up, he says, is by participating in the process. We can’t stand by and carp.
