Summary
Today they discuss: Wales' draconian measures, the ineffectiveness of lockdowns, why those on the left of centre make terrible decisions, Neil Ferguson, the BBC's failure to take people to task, Boris Johnson's hair, dogs with COVID, politicians talking rubbish (and getting away with it), Michael Gove, scotch egg-gate, Nicola Sturgeon, Fulham actually winning a game, the people who advocate pulling down statues, Sadiq Khan, the London riots, 'experts' plucking numbers out of thin air (and getting away with it) and the fictional narrative that surrounds air pollution in the UK.
