In this week’s episode of London Calling, James Delingpole and I get into a ding-dong about the Coronation, with me finding it surprisingly moving and pregnant with meaning, and James saying he was happy to miss the whole thing since he was flying back from Malaysia, where he was savaged by leeches; we go on to discuss Britain’s future, which James is predictably gloomy about, and the failure of successive Conservative Prime Ministers to do anything about the vast numbers of people entering the U.K. each year, with me blaming the unwillingness of Britons to do low-paid service jobs, and James claiming it’s part of a high-level plot to terrorise and subdue the indigenous population; then, in Culture Corner, I recommend Citadel to James, a new espionage thriller on Amazon Prime that echoes his view that a cabal of powerful families control the world, and stop equivocating about The Night Agent on Netflix, giving it a definite thumbs’ up; meanwhile, James’s praises Silent Night, a thriller that bombed when it was released during the pandemic but which he says is very good.
