And Finally…

by Toby Young
25 April 2023 7:00 PM

In this week’s episode of London Calling, James and I talk about why we’re on opposite sides of the world – me in Canada, James in Hong Kong – and whether jet lag gets worse as you get older; James says Hong Kong may not be a democracy any longer, but then, neither is the UK; I tell him how much I’m enjoying being in Canada, not least because there are plenty of conservatives in rural areas who have no time for Trudeau; we go on to discuss the news of the hour – Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News – with James claiming it’s because he’s too Team James and me going for the more prosaic explanation, namely, the Murdochs were embarrassed about having to settle the Dominion law suit for close to a billion dollars and were looking for someone to blame; that prompts an argument about ‘the Steal’, with me pointing out that the Murdochs wouldn’t have spent $787 million to settle if they thought Fox News could prove the 2020 presidential election really was stolen, and James claiming the Murdochs settled it because they don’t want the truth about the stolen election to come to light; we then pay tribute to the late Barry Humphries, although I suspect the only reason James brought him up is so he could drop in the fact that he was Barry’s favourite Spectator columnist (according to his son Oscar); we briefly discuss the candidacy of Robert Kennedy Jr, although James doesn’t trust him; I tells James about the pro-natalist movement and James is sympathetic, although he gets sidetracked into talking about his new theory that Greta Thunberg is a small, smooth-skinned man; and, in Culture Corner, we discuss The Playlist, The Night Agent, The Whale, Anna Karenina, which James is reading in Hong Kong, and Andrew Roberts’s magisterial Churchill biography, which I’m listening to in Canada.
