The Thought Police

Mike and Matt return to deliver the most biting comment and opinion on the week's news as you've come to expect by now. The unfair dismissal claim against Priti Patel, income tax demands, the latest chapter in the farcical Harry & Meghan story, lockdown frustrations (especially for the pets) and the tough environment for journalists are the items on the docket.

Mike Graham and Matt Kelly reconvene as coronavirus-related lockdown continues to discuss the impact social distancing measures may have on kids, the idiots who are taking to the streets despite warnings and how other countries are dealing more severely with flouting offenders. There's also room for other matters such as the latest Labour gaffe, not being a local in an area full of locals, being caught out by intimidating language and the possibility of a Premier League return; oh and there's a Fleet Street story or two thrown in as well! Keep safe and thank you for listening.

Mike and Matt are back via long distance communication as we enter week 3 of lockdown. But what will the other side look like after we're through with the coronavirus crisis? What tips do the Thought Police have for entertaining yourself while shacked up at home? And what do they most miss about normal life? Find out here. Also up for discussion are Peter Hitchens, Marco Pierre White, MG's new cooking podcast and Keir Starmer as the new Labour leader. You may not be able to leave your house, but the good news is we'll come to you. Welcome in...

Despite location restrictions, Mike Graham (in studio) and Matt Kelly (self-isolating at home - via phone) still manage to come together for a meeting of minds as they discuss the latest goings on with the coronavirus pandemic. How will the world operate on the other side? Why do certain people change their behaviour so dramatically during times like these? How have the government reacted? And what about those people stuck at home who really don't want to - or shouldn't - be? It's all discussed here, as well as a bit of (related) football, movie and celebrity chat as the Thought Police continue to keep their heads while the world around them are losing theirs...

And remember, if you're feeling low or anxious or in need of a chat, pick up the phone. You don't have to suffer alone.   

Matt and Mike discuss MG's recent illness, being useless around the house, lackadaisical handymen, mixed dining experiences, posh party invites and gin.

You'll never guess what dominates the Thought Police today...it's the virus none of us can escape from and it's led to some of the most unusual and bizarre circumstances ever witnessed in human history (including certain behaviours!). Mike and Matt philsophise about just how exceptional this situation is and how it may be remembered including the ghostly nature of the empty streets, the devastation it's likely to cause to the economy, panic buyers panicking everyone else into panic buying, working from home, the age group potentially most at risk to the disease and the really big issue -actually having to speak to your partner! 

There are other matters to attend to as well including paintball injuries, hipsters taking over New York, artists and their insecurities, St Patrick's Day, and...take a deep breath...taking a deep breath. All is explained on yet another fascinating episode of the Thought Police.

Mike and Matt are back for more topical chat. The spread of covid-19 dominates the conversation as it does the conscience but there are plenty of other subjects and tangents including tone deaf tweeters, Jolyon Maugham, people who panic for no reason, keeping chickens, the RSPCA, travelling on the bus, turning 60 and why "Mugabe" was innocent.

Mike and Matt are back on top form...for now(!) as they catch up on a busy week of news including Priti Patel vs. the Home Office (which leads to a long rant about the political structure in the UK), Boris' new baby and the challenges of having children later in life, the oldest man in the world, VAR in the Premier League and the impact its having on football and the story still dominating the news agenda - the spread of coronavirus and whether we should be worried. Today's tangents include Oman, sausages and lavatorial habits. Charming.
