Summary

Mike Graham is back from his hols to join Kevin O'Sullivan for another look at the week's big stories. Today they include: upsetting lefties, do-gooders in society, lockdown 2 and whether it can possibly be justified, the 'Covid wars', putting the blame on the people, why pubs need to be open, Boris' terror, 'charity porn', food banks, having no sense of humour, Jeremy Corbyn, betting on the outcome of the US election, why the notion of the public vote is a nonsense, the importance of swing states, Wales' lockdown experience, why the government are stalling for time, the furlough scheme, Fulham finally winning, and the curious case of Martin Bashir vs. Earl Spencer - the next big clash for us to look forward to. All that and more on another hard-hitting edition of the Thought Police.
