Summary
Today they ponder: social distancing rules, the importance of challenging lockdowns, public compliance, why no measures can contain the virus, issues with the vaccine, talkRADIO's YouTube ban, Donald Trump's social media booting, whether Twitter should be regulated, the Trump impeachment case and why he isn't to blame, football teetering on the brink of cancellation, Scotland's tightening restrictions, horse racing, and the utter failure that is Track and Trace. It's more essential listening from the men in the know - it's the Thought Police.
You can follow the boys on Twitter. Mike is: @IROMG, Kevin is @TVKev and you'll find the podcast too: @ThoughtPoliceTP.
