In this week’s episode of London Calling, James and I discuss my trip to a Norfolk tennis tournament where all the teenage boys have mullets, the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago and why it’s unlikely to derail Trump’s candidacy, Anne Heche’s car accident, which James thinks was not an accident, a conspiracy-minded newspaper called the Light that might as well be called the Daily Delingpole, the attack on Salman Rushdie, the cancellation of Jerry Sadowitz at the Edinburgh Fringe, and, in Culture Corner, how excited we are to see episode one of House of Dragons, the Russian novel James read in one sitting (Mikhail Lermontov’s Hero of Our Time) and my rather more lowbrow summer reading — Sharpe’s Battle by Bernard Cornwell.

I’ve missed the last two or three episodes of London Calling, so was glad to be able to listen to this one. It reminded me why I love it – because Toby and James talking together (arguing?!) make me laugh so much!! Very cheering.
BTW, the Light Truth Paper (which I think is its full title), mentioned by Toby, is only free because someone has paid for enough copies to give away. If you want to subscribe to a hard copy, it is £5 per issue (monthly), so quite expensive. However, it is free to look at online. It has good stuff in it, but some slightly weird adverts!
Didn’t have you down, Toby, as a dead ringer for Pat Sharp…!
