In this week’s London Calling, James and I argue about whether we’re witnessing the end of Covid hysteria; discuss the Johnny-come-latelies who claim to have been lockdown sceptics all along; worry that it may be all over for our old friend Boris (although James isn’t that worried); question why the BBC doesn’t become a subscription service if it’s such great value for money; and, in culture corner, James praises Yellowjackets, while I give lukewarm reviews to The Duke, Being the Ricardos and Red Rocket.

Dominic Cummings says PM was told No 10 garden party ‘broke the rules’ but said it should go ahead | The Independent
Pulp Fiction – Samuel L Jackson Speech – YouTube
Wait? What?
This surely can’t be the same Dominic Cummings who Johnson burned massive capital trying to save after he (DC) went off an a road trip across the whole country at the height of the restrictions despite being a Govidian lockdowner fetishist?
UK government hires ad agency to convince the public they don’t need privacy
https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-government-hires-ad-agency-privacy/
The government thinks all communications should be available for snooping. The UK is stepping up its “war on encryption,” reports are saying, and like in any good old war, propaganda comes first to “prepare the ground.” And a new campaign is expected to launch as early as this month.

Samuel L Jackson speech. Spot on Tony.
It turns out my cat is Team Toby, which is a real disappointment. Cock-up? It’s like she hasn’t been paying attention.
Toby was at Piers Morgan’s Christmas party in 2019 (he floated the idea of a post Brexit “truth and reconciliation” committee with the FT editor who claimed he was never anti-“Brexit” – rather like we’re starting to see over lockdowns (strewth, I hope that’s true))!!!
And on that bombshell…
Never mind the media. Actually read what Dominic Cummings published today. All the MSM commentary on it has been worthless. Some points:
The VILE… REPELLENT…NOXIOUS Piers Morgan
James, you really are going to have to learn to unlock your feelings. Take a deep breath, count to three, and tell us what you really think about Piers.
PS: I beat you to the Australa as Japanese soldier idea months ago. Not that I’m bragging.
