Summary

There's plenty for Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan to go at on this week's Thought Police including: Boris Johnson's dodgy connection, Fulham's ongoing penalty woes, the US election possibly coming to an end at last, big bets, people who cheat at golf, paying tribute to a couple of beloved Fleet Street colleagues who have sadly gone before, colour writers, the poor press performance during the COVID crisis, making up the data to suit the argument, why the government have no right to interfere in Christmas, Thanksgiving, the obliteration of the economy, attending football under the tier system, taking the wrong approach to dealing with the virus, and why Dishy Rishi may well go from hero to villain in a matter of months. Whatever happens, the Thought Police are with you every step of the way.

You can follow the boys on Twitter. Mike is: @IROMG, Kevin is @TVKev and you'll find the podcast too: @ThoughtPoliceTP.
