In this week’s episode of London Calling, James and I discuss QPR’s failure to reach the Championship play-offs, last week’s local election results (“Boring,” snorts James), Sinn Fein’s success in Northern Ireland and what that means for the future of the U.K., Keir Starmer’s announcement that he’ll resign if the Durham Police conclude he broke the rules during Beergate, James’s son’s part in Keir Starmer’s downfall, Simon Kuper’s new book about how all Britain’s ills can be laid at the door of mine and James’s generation of Oxford students, and the Supreme Court leak, which James thinks was manufactured to distract people from the Pfizer document dump. Then, in Culture Corner, we praise Slow Horses, condemn White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch and I continue to bang on about Ozark, but allow that it has probably come to the end of its natural life.

Who is bringing Keir Starmer down?
Who recently gave “new information” to the London Metropolitan Police?
Does Starmer’s “social media expert” Assaf Kaplan, “formerly” of Israel’s 8200 Unit, know anything about any of the above?
Today I learnt that Keir Starmer is a member of the St John’s Wood Synagogue.
Hahaha!! Guess who the “Durham undergraduate” who supposedly shot the video of Keir Starmer is!
He is Ivo Delingpole, son of James Delingpole who writes for the far right Breitbart News – and also for the Spectator, where he has proclaimed his love for Israeli TV.
‘Who is bringing Keir Starmer down?’ Keir Starmer!
“…..(Starmer) joined South Hampstead Synagogue for an online Q&A on Sunday, February 21” doesn’t mean that he is a member of the synagogue or its congregation. If he joined the BMA, for example, for an online Q&A, it doesn’t mean he’s joined the medical profession.
Meanwhile, I see that he has added a sophisticated form of pressure on the Durham Police (aka “blackmail”) with his lawyer-tricksy resignation threat.
This is a bit of an outsider bet, for sure, but if the loony crown prince ascends the throne, might he call himself “King Arthur”? Or even King Arthur II? (His full list of forenames runs “Charles Philip Arthur George”.)
This sounds ludicrous and absurd, I know, but so do many things in Britain. Apparently he thinks the name “Charles” is “unlucky”, which doubtless connects with his belief in reincarnation – a topic that no “responsible” critics are daring to touch, except in jest.
If anybody reading this needs a nudge to stop thinking “That would be so crazy that I won’t bother thinking about it”, one place they might start is the role of a representation of Glastonbury Tor in the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympic games in London.
I read, years ago, (can’t think where) that being he loved his great uncle Louis Mountbatten so much, he said he may choose his name when he became king.
Taking ‘Keeboots’ for his Monarchic name might be more appropriate.
No sorry that was Andrew…
I guess you’re speaking of the “Louis” christian name. Apart from his assassinated great uncle, he might be aiming for the lustre of Louis XIV, the Sun King, and hoping to avoid the fate of Louis XVI, who, like the earlier Charles, parted company with his head. Fairly poor auguries for the Louis name, I’d say.
I believe that he wants to be known as George VII.
Parr for the course for that pratt.
He comes well-equipped and qualified for “The Madness of King George, Part the Second”.
Sadly the establishment has embraced Sinn Féin. Terrorism pays. Devolution was yet another of Tony Blair’s disasters .
Now Boris John is finishing off what Blair started. He has used Brexit to let the EU annex Northern Ireland. He does not believe in Brexit, freedom or anything else. His Climate Change nonsense we mean most people will never be able to leave there own local area.
He has turned Tony Blair’s’ Ofcom into the Ministry of Truth. Covid lockdowns were just the start.
