And Finally…

by Toby Young
19 June 2023 11:24 PM

In this week’s episode of London Calling, James Delingpole tells me about the speed awareness course he’s just been on, which prompts a discussion about whether there’s a global conspiracy against motorists; we then segue into discussing Tucker Carlson’s move to Twitter and whether he’s right that the reason Trump has been indicted and may yet end up in prison is because he dared to criticise the military-industrial complex in an interview in 2016; that then descends into a heated exchange about whether the Russians or the Ukrainians blew up the Kakhovka Dam (I think it’s the Russians, obviously); whether I’m just pretending to support Ukraine in order to preserve my place as a pundit in the mainstream media, or whether James is pretending to embrace a whole raft of conspiracy theories because he’s become financially dependent on donations from conspiracy theorists; and I try to get James to explain why he hasn’t just embraced just one conspiracy theory, but seemingly every single one, including that JFK was assassinated by the CIA, that the moon landings were faked, that Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a doppelganger, that dinosaurs are a hoax, that the Lost City of Atlantic really did exist, that 9/11 was an inside job, that the contrails left by passenger jets are in fact chemicals designed to poison us, that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump (even though he thinks Trump may be ‘the Anti-Christ’) and, of course, that the pandemic was planned by a cabal of evil billionaires so they could then get hundreds of millions of people to take the ‘death jabs’ as part of their diabolical plan to depopulate the earth – although why they would want to do that, exactly, James will not explain and gets angry if you ask him, claiming ‘motive’ is irrelevant. In other words, it’s an argument about everything. Then, in Culture Corner, we discuss Tour de France: Unchained, The Tulsa King, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and The Covenant, which I liked, and Extraction 2, which I also liked. I also tell James about my great discovery, a website called worthitorwoke.com. Check it out.
