London Calling

This week, James and Toby discuss James’s profound sense of loss now that the hunting season is over and Toby’s concern that James’s pessimism about the future is making him mentally ill.

Among the news items covered: Whether Bill Gates really is an evil mastermind, the inevitability of ’15 minute’ cities, the Global Warming Policy Foundation’s damning new report on wind power, Humza Yousef becoming the new leader of the SNP and the mobbing of Kellie-Jay Keen in New Zealand.

In Culture Corner, the new season of Succession (HBO Max), The Night Agent (Netflix), the first of Anthony Trollope’s Palliser novels (Can You Forgive Her?) and Royal Flash, the second of George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman novels.

Opening sound this week is Kellie-Jay Keen talking about being attacked in New Zealand, courtesy of TalkTV.

The lads are depressed. For James it’s the end of the hunting season, for Toby it’s QPR (11-19-18, 19th in the league table) and his football hopes are dashed in more ways than one. After a mutual therapy session it’s on to the news of the week: Donald Trump is facing Stormy seas in NY as a DA thinks he has a case to arrest the former President, YouTube silences a speech by Andrew Bridgen...

Toby and James begin the week talking about James’s health (not good), Toby’s failure to make it across London using public transport (which James thinks is all part of the plan to keep us locked in our homes), and the Gary Lineker scandal (which James thinks was cooked up to distract people from the Great Reset and other, equally important things taking place under our noses). In other news we... Source

On this week’s episode of London Calling, Toby and James start by talking about James’ health (he has a cold), then segue into discussing what James says is the best hunting experience of his life. Toby then tells James about his week (hangover and all), which included appearing on Jacob Rees-Mogg’s debut show on GBNews and attending the third anniversary party of the Free Speech Union. Source

In this week’s episode of London Calling, Toby and James discuss last Saturday’s live recording of The Delingpod, in which James interviewed Neil Oliver in front of a paying audience of 900; Toby worries about whether his live recording of The Weekly Sceptic on 1st April in the same venue (the Emmanuel Centre) will be as popular. It has been some time since Mummy and Daddy had a fight, no? Source

We’re all over the politically correct spectrum this week. On one hand, James had his epic hunting adventure last weekend, while on the other hand, Toby is struggling to adjust to his new role as “Mr. Mom” now that an empowered Caroline has left for a two week holiday in Barbados. Meanwhile, there’s a lot on the censorship front as we take on the list of media that the UK Government’s “anti... Source

In this week’s episode of London Calling, Toby and James discuss James’ rock star status among the readers of TCW Defending Freedom, the shooting down of three “UFOs” over North American airspace and whether that’s a nice way to treat visitors from another galaxy, the spat between Mark Steyn and GBNews, Seymour Hersh’s allegations about US involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines...

As is our Monday ritual, Toby and James discuss their weekend exploits (James went hunting, Toby watched a musical based on Come Dine With Me) before getting on to the news of the day: Robert Kennedy Jr’s lawsuit against the Trusted Media Initiative, Sam Smith’s feeble attempts to imitate Mick Jagger at the Grammy Awards, the appearance of former Isis bride Shamima Begum on the cover of the Times’...

This week James and Toby discuss how different the last three years would have been if James, and not Chris Whitty, had been the Chief Medical Officer and the fact that during the pandemic it seems Toby was spied upon by the 77th Brigade, a unit of the British Army, as revealed in a new report from Big Brother Watch. In other news we cover the tax affairs of the now ex-Chairman of the Conservative... Source

An interesting mix this week (and sometimes with just TOO much information) as James and Toby discuss whether 2022 saw higher-than average mortality in Britain and elsewhere and, if it did, whether the mRNA vaccines are responsible; Charles III’s forthcoming coronation (which the King intends to dedicate to refugees and NHS workers); the prostitution boom in Davos; and most disturbingly...
