And Finally…

by Toby Young
29 May 2023 10:25 PM

In this week’s episode of London Calling, James and I discuss our different attitude to glasses – James doesn’t trust anyone who describes his short-sightedness as an ‘impairment’ when he regards it as a blessing, whereas I’m happy to wear corrective lenses – as well as the delay to Ron DeSantis’s declaration on Twitter, whether DeSantis is serious about winning the presidency or just a stalking horse put up by the ‘cabal’ to wreck Trump’s chances, the Target and Bud Light boycotts, whether George Lazenby made a decent fist of playing Bond, and, in Culture Corner, James withdraws his recommendation of Silo, I give two thumbs down to Fubar, a fairly enthusiastic review to Air and attach an ‘avoid-at-all-costs’ warning to Ant-Man 3, which may be the worst Marvel film yet.

I never trust people who wear photochromic glasses.

Very much hope it’s better than last week’s. I used to be more Team James than Team Toby, but, after last week….., if James continues with the constant digs, insults and personal attacks (and, unlike the broadcasts we came to know and love, not in light-hearted vein) I will no longer be listening.

Exactly how I felt. I would add however that Toby exhibits wilful blindness over James’ points sometimes, and does characterise his more far out beliefs as conspiracy theories, rather than attempting to address them.

I think he’s just getting exasperated at the constant attacks from James (and they have, sadly, become attacks now) and starting to hit back a little and give a bit of ‘like for like’. But, sure, perhaps it would be better to say something like ‘That’s an interesting theory. I’ll admit I haven’t looked deeply into it, and if I had any working minutes left after my work for the Daily Sceptic and The Free Speech Union and the journalism necessary to feed my family, I would.’

Sadly, I have given up on these.
I thoroughly enjoyed the early ones, then they got longer and longer. Then when listening to them I began feel that James was starting to sound like a child who thinks shouting “bum” or “poo” will cause his elders to have fit of the vapours.
There is now little reasoned discussion.
I an surprised that Toby continues with them.
I would rather hear him talking with Nick although those are becoming rather long and tedious and could do with some sharper editing.

Have just listened. Thank goodness – it was much better than last week. Just the right touch this time, from both.
