The Fly separates personal privilege from “white privilege,” tracing a childhood on free school meals, a father’s business lost to globalisation, graft through odd jobs to a late degree, and even life as an outsider in Spain. He questions whether skin colour explained his progress, argues today’s squeeze hits everyone, and urges dropping the label in favour of shared opportunity. Write the Fly Support the show
