About this episode

<div> <p>Malcolm X was a true revolutionary, Michael X was an imposter.</p><p>This con man realised that politics was a lot easier than poetry and rose to the top of the British Civil Rights Movement. All the while violently exploiting the Windrush generation he claimed to be fighting for.</p><p>John Lennon and Leonard Cohen were his biggest fans. They donated thousands to Michael X's projects that never actually happened. The press hung on his every word, quoting him as the most powerful black man in Europe.</p><p>By the time Michael X's ego unravelled, it was too late for socialite Gale Benson to escape from his web. They would both pay the ultimate price for his lies.</p><p>--</p><p><a href="http://patreon.com/redhanded">Patreon</a> - Ad-free &amp; Bonus Episodes<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA">YouTube</a> - Full-length Video Episodes<br><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod">TikTok</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/">Instagram<br></a><br></p></div>
