Ellie Taylor welcomes you to "Safe Space", a place where anyone can offload their controversial opinions without fear of judgment. She talks to members of the public about their gripes and dislikes. This week she argues that the United Kingdom should break up into lots of little kingdoms, Game of Thrones style! So not just England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - Ellie thinks all the regions and cities should become independent too. Joining Ellie to prove her point is regular sidekick Robin Morgan. With special guest: Medieval Historian, Gabby Storey. She chats to Ellie about what the UK was like when it was broken up into lots of kingdoms in medieval times, why history teaches us that independent kingdoms don't always get along and what she'd choose to have on her own flag of independence. This series was first broadcast in March 2023. Written by and starring Ellie Taylor and Robin Morgan. Producer: Georgia Keating Executive Producer: James Robinson Production Co-ordinator: Becky Carewe-Jeffries Sound editor: Marc Willcox A 麻豆社 Studios production for Radio 4
