Dave Ridley, an Ex-News Videographer, is most notably known by his peers as the founder of the Ridley Report, an independent and remotely filmed internet show that is growing in popularity. In episode 4, Dave joins Denis and Lydia to talk about "Redress of Grievances," the notion that the average citizen would have the ability to tell his/her government that he/she doesn't like something they are doing, in which he has a story to share that is quite relevant to this issue.
