EP 78 – LOCAL ELECTION FALLOUT — Porn amateur wins a seat for Reform UK. Sal questions Farage. Starmer Drama.
Sal is back, thank goodness. 😍
We chatted about her own personal local election results and the fallout, including an exclusive we dropped a few weeks ago about a very NSFW Reform UK candidate putting his own porn onto open social media platforms.
There's a brilliant clip of our very own Sal asking some pressing questions to a smirking Nigel Farage. Well worth a watch/listen.
Reform didn't fare so well, and we chatted about Keir Starmer and the unbelievable Toryesque psychodrama that's unfolding.

EP 77 — LOCAL ELECTION BREAKDOWN — Reform Roundup™ — FIVE MILLION POUNDS. Global Perception Index.
Don is flying solo on this episode. It started as a minisode, but he rambled on for so long, we have to put it out as a full Ep! And yeah, it's Ep 77, despite Don's intro!
Sal is taking a very well-earned rest and will be back very soon. Wish her well in the comments. 😍
A very dry local election breakdown. Nigel Farage's five million pound bung. And which countries are in the bottom five of the recently published global perception index? Hint: 3 of the bottom 5 are involved in a certain war very near to the Strait of Hormuz!

EP 05 — DISCUSSIONS with Mike Dicks — Renter's Rights Act
We're back with a new episode of Discussions with the very excellent, Mike Dicks. We asked Mike to come on and discuss the ramifications of the new Renter's Rights Act, as he had recently been at the wrong end of the difficult landlord stick.
As is our wont, we chatted a lot about the topic, but it meandered in and out of several other ares.
Mike is the creator of the amazing Trumpton political cartoons, and you can find links down there. 👇

EP 76 — KAMIKAZE DOLPHINS — The war is BACK — with dolphins. Reform Roundup™ — FIVE MILLION POUNDS.
The war is back, baby! Pete Hegseth fails to rule out that the US has kamikaze dolphins. Sharks with fricken laser beams got a mention. They told the world that their blockade was rock solid, whilst pleading for Iran to open the Strait.
Reform Roundup™ contains Zia Yusuf being weird. Farage being a flake and THAT £5M bribe.
We also discussed why kids aren't having kids. Or dancing!

EP 75 – MEDIA BLACKOUT — The media and MET Police have been caught lying. Repeatedly. Toxic Masculinity Tragedy.
TRIGGER WARNING: there is some very tough chat in this episode regarding domestic abuse. Proceed with caution.
Why has Mark Rowley been lying about the Stop the War Coalition and the Nakba Day march?
Why have the media repeatedly lied about the third attack that led up to the Golders Green incident?
Why was a woman murdered by her abusive ex-partner with a f***ing grenade? It's a heartbreaking tragedy.

EP 74 — MEDIA BIAS — Proof of Reform's underreporting. Billionaires under the radar. BBC Bias.
Does Dan Hodges tweet more than the BBC about Peter Mandelson? Reform FINALLY face a tiny bit of scrutiny. Don drops a Data Deep Dive.

EP 73 – PANIC ON THE STREETS OF LONDON — A horrific stabbing in London. Misreporting. And Martha's Law.
This episode Sal and Don chatted a bit about the stalemate in the Iran conflict but mainly about the horrific stabbing in North London. Was it really a terrorist attack? Or a failing of our mental health provision, like Valdo Calocane?
Sky News were Community Noted on 𝕏 for misreporting the facts. Three people were attacked, not just two.
And was Zack Polanksi's 𝕏 repost really that bad? Spoiler alert: NOPE.
And Sal talked through Martha's law and its significance for patients.

EP 72 — POLITICAL ASSASSINS — Are we? Epsom fabricated attack. Fox News fail. Far-Right Roundabout. Reform Roundup.
Sal chatted about the completely fabricated attack in Epsom that was whipped up into a riot by online agitators and auditors. Tommy Robinson's rally is going ahead with a $100,000 donation from the same guy that paid for his shiny new nashers.
The banjo player from Mumford & Sons IS A GENIUS*.
Reform Roundup™️ is a long one again but it does includes some funny fails and Bobby Generics new nickname.

EP 71 – AMERICAN ASSASSIN? — Trump survives again. Conspiracy theories abound. Ai defeated?
This is a USA heavy episode. Did Trump survive another assassination attempt? Or was it a wild ruse to get his ballroom building back on track? How many Trump mobiles have been delivered? And did he really just sack the entire National Science Board.
Answers to these and much more are contained within!
Oh, and Ken Cheng has defeated Ai. 😃

EP 70 — HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US — We're a year old. Reform Exclusive. Hate preacher canned. Far-right wobbling.
No Holds Barred Pod is officially one year old now. Sal and Don have been rabbiting together for a full twelve months and show no signs of letting up!
Reform Roundup™️ is a long one this week, so the TL;DR version is: lies, lies, lies, lies and some more lies.
Sal has an absolute bombshell exclusive about a Reform UK local candidate. Unfortunately, that section has now been redacted due to sustained political pressure [although if you're a Patreon subscriber, you can hear the full, unredacted exclusive].
Valentina Gomez has been banned from the UK. Result!
