The Thought Police episodes

  • S1 Ep126: 200 grand designs
    Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan battle over the megaphone once more on the shoutiest, loudest and most sensible podcast out there - the Thought Police.

    Today they discuss: getting people back to work, shrugging off COVID concerns in order to return to reality, the media obsession with the troubles in India, non-reporting of the anti-lockdown march, whether Boris is really in trouble due to interior decor-gate (or Carrie Antoinette-gate), why redecoration is so expensive, the role of the Prime Minister, the 'Let the bodies pile up' allegations against the PM, Carrie's political brain, the world's worst Oscars ceremony, sanctimonious awards dos, Ricky Gervais, the loss of fun within the showbiz industry, theatrical wokeness, people actually having fun, and football's social media boycott. It's all the opinions you can handle and then a few more, it's the Thought Police.   

    You can follow the boys on Twitter. Mike Graham is: @IROMG, Kevin O'Sullivan is @TVKev and you'll find the podcast too: @ThoughtPoliceTP.

  • S1 Ep125: A pint of bitter(ness)
    It's time for the latest sparkling edition of the Thought Police with Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan as the pair deliberate over the latest news stories.

    This week they discuss: Sir Keir Starmer's recent trip to Bath, taking on the lefties, lockdown frustration, unreliable testing, Gavin Williamson, the Government's COVID caution, being bored of discussing the pandemic, the irritation of going abroad in a mask, getting back to the old normal, Boris' latest green revolution that nobody cares about, the plans for a European Super League in football, the importance or otherwise of business vs. competition, UEFA's vultures, and the racism scandal swirling around the Church of England. It's another angry half hour of the Thought Police. Enjoy!

  • S1 Ep119: A right royal pain in the backside
    The Thought Police are back and there's only one story in town - Chris Whitty and his cronies. Why are they insisting that we will have to endure another lockdown when the vaccination programme is supposed to be the permanent way out of the COVID crisis? They also discuss the political scaremongering of the UK population... 

    ...oh, and there's also the small matter of that Harry and Meghan interview as well. Was Oprah the right person to conduct it? Is Harry hindered by his lack of intelligence? Does Meghan dress her husband? Is it really as big a deal as Diana? It's all there. 

    Plus, Kev lauds Fulham's win at Anfield, MG laments the need for school kids to wear masks and the pair discuss the American political system vs. the UKs. It's another riveting instalment of the only podcast that tells it like it really is, it's the Thought Police.
