In this week’s episode of London Calling, James and I talk about James’s new buff body (he went to the gym with his son last week), why James thinks the promotion of vegetables as a healthy alternative to meat is a ‘psy op’, the pros and cons of living in the country (James) versus living in town (me), the detention of Kit Klarenberg by counter-terrorism police last month, the Telegraph’s investigation into the secret units used by ministers to suppress dissent during the pandemic, whether lockdown sceptics should welcome or condemn this story as well as the Telegraph’s more recent coverage of the Institute of Economic Affairs’ report claiming the first U.K. lockdown in the spring of 2020 only saved 1,700 lives in England and Wales, the defenestration of Philip Schofield, and, in Culture Corner, James is scathing about Poker Face, I am enthusiastic about The Diplomat and James doesn’t want to talk about the season finale of Succession because he hasn’t watched it yet.
