In this week’s bumper episode of London Calling, James and I discuss Boris’s current difficulties, which are about to be added to by the House of Commons rebellion and Thursday’s possible by-election loss; the likelihood of a lockdown of the unvaccinated in England, and why some apparently sound people are advocating that policy; Sadiq Kahn’s latest assault on our freedoms, which is to ban “inappropriate staring of a sexual nature” on the London Underground; Jussie Smollett’s comeuppance for pretending he was the victim of a hate crime; and, in Culture Corner, Lewis Hamilton’s recent F1 loss, the first episode of Yellowjackets, the strangely sexless central female character in Hawkeye, the Wheel of Time (again!) and vol 13 in Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories.
