We talk about the personal and the political, going through class experience and class struggle, LGBT rights, solidarity between differently oppressed groups, consciousness raising, activist and trade union history and so much more.\\n\\nMike plugs: \\n\\nThe reformed LGSM who can be found here: http://www.twitter.com/LGSMpride\\n\\nAnd in the future they\'ll be on facebook too here: LGSM 2014 \\n\\nWe mention:\\n\\nGBA 179 Focus E15 Mothers (feat Mike Jackson): https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-179-focus-e15-mothers\\n\\nFocus e15 Mothers:\\n\\nhttps://twitter.com/FocusE15\\n\\nhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Focus-E15-Mothers/602860129757343\\n\\nhttp://focuse15.org/\\n\\nSpark London: http://sparklondon.com/\\n\\nPride: http://www.pridemovie.co.uk/\\n\\nBilly Elliot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Elliot\\nBrassed Off: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassed_Off\\nThe Full Monty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Full_Monty\\nStephen Beresford: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Beresford\\nMarc Ashton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Ashton\\nJoe Gilgun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Gilgun\\nThis Is England: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_England\\nThe Miner\'s Strike: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_miners%27_strike_(1984%E2%80%9385)\\nMargaret Thatcher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher\\nPricewaterhouse Coopers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PricewaterhouseCoopers\\nNeoliberal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism\\nNeoconservative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism\\nVon Hayek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Hayek\\nMilton Friedman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Friedman\\nTony Benn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Benn\\nNaomi Klein: This Changes Everything: http://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Changes-Everything-Capitalism-Climate/dp/1451697384\\nFreddie Fox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Fox_(actor)\\nPink Triangle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_triangle\\nPrint Workers Strike: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wapping_dispute\\nStill the Enemy Within: http://the-enemy-within.org.uk/\\nWomen Against Pit Closures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_Against_Pit_Closures\\nClement Attlee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clement_Attlee\\nAccrington: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accrington\\n1967 Sexual Offences Act: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_Offences_Act_1967\\nJohnathan Harvey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Harvey_(playwright)\\nBeautiful Thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautiful_Thing_(play)\\nCanary: http://www.amazon.co.uk/22Canary-22-Modern-Plays-Jonathan-Harvey/dp/1408131048\\n"Equal" Marriage Bill: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_(Same_Sex_Couples)_Act_2013\\nMark Ashton\'s Fund: https://www.facebook.com/markashtontrust\\nSoma Mining Disaster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma_mine_disaster\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nYou can hear Getting Better Acquainted on Stitcher SmartRadio, Stitcher allows you to listen to your favourite shows directly from your iPhone, Android Phone, Kindle Fire and beyond.\\n\\nOn-demand and on the go!\\n\\nDon\\u2019t have Stitcher?
