And Finally…

In this week's London Calling, the talking points are the attack on the Mona Lisa by a green nut job, Boris's chances of surviving a confidence vote and whether the country would be worse off if he was replaced by a chimp.

1 min read

In this week’s episode of London Calling, James Delingpole and I discuss whether Boris will survive a vote of no confidence, wonder if it would make any difference if he was replaced by a chimp, marvel at the Government’s theft of Jeremy Corbyn’s socialist policies, ask if vandalising the Mona Lisa really is the best way to persuade fence-sitters that we’re in the midst of a climate emergency, and, in Culture Corner, give our verdicts on Stranger Things Season 4 and Ricky Gervais’s SuperNature.

As you both seem technically challenged why don’t you both record and hope one recording survives or get someone else to record it while you chat?

It wasn’t the monkey’s fault, a pox on the house of Parliament far more preferable.

Some have speculated that, give a million monkeys a typewriter each and given enough time, the odds are that the one or collectively they’d knock out the entire works of Shakespeare, maybe. What they’d likely never be able to come up with, Conservative party lack of energy policy and johnson’s designs, that would be just too insane.

I watched Ricky Gervais’s SuperNature last night, he’s a funny guy, but not funny enough to pay to go see his show.

The last comedian I paid to see was Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown, I was in fits of laughter all the way through, tears and everything, I was still laughing as I recalled some of his jokes days later; Gervais raised a few giggles for sure, but nowhere near the standard I expected, I can’t remember a single joke either.

I saw Chubby Brown probably about twenty years ago. A big gang of us, ladies and blokes. Nobody took offence.

By God was he funny.

In your London Calling “advert” do you not realise how much risk you are putting that poor monkey at?!

An inanimate object could replace Kim Jong-Johnson and would certainly do less damage than him.

“Johnson, Sir Beer, Gove – all useless chimps”! (I paraphrase. Slightly).

My own theory is that if 14 million of us instead of 4 milliion had “wasted” our votes in 2015 (on UKIP), a lot of the current mess could have been avoided. Am I being overly optimistic?

Re. the Finerfilters ad – worrying if the government are rolling out the flouridation of all drinking water – isn’t that more forced medication? I haven’t been to the dentist in decades and don’t have toothache. Why should I be forced to take medication that simply is not relevant to me and may cause long term damage (especially with the water I drink)? Scandalous.

Not sure where this fluoridation is up to. Savage was blathering on about and saying it would improve our health so clearly it will be very dangerous.

Fluiride is linked to reduced cognitive abilities. I wonder why the rulers want to dumb the population?

Yes you are being overly optimistic.
Remember Farage was hardly the strident critic of lockdowns or vaccines.
One would need to be Thatcher tough to have blocked the establishments takeover of our lives.
