Summary
They discuss: Matt Kelly and the New European, the EU's vaccine policy, MG's son's painting, Matt Hancock's 'good looks', the best and worst looking footballers, Six Nations rugby, Jonathan Van-Tam, how restrictions have been enabled by the digital age, the conjecture around coronavirus death rates, ten-day hotel quarantines, what Britain we will return to after lockdown, Mike Tindall's furlough fiasco, marrying into royalty, actively choosing to rise up against the COVID crisis, news agendas full of 'churnalism' and poor reporting, and the demise of Nicola Sturgeon. It's shouty, it's sweary and it's full of common sense - it's the Thought Police.

| 1:19.0 | road to Damascus type conversion doesn't he yeah and I think that's because he's producing a newspaper which he's now invested in. |
| 1:27.0 | That's his sole source of income and he wants to make it a bit more appealing to a few more people. |
| 1:32.0 | Because at the moment, it's just a str appealing to a few more people because at the moment it's just |

| 1:43.4 | maybe maybe he's right to be fair to me it's a little bit more nuanced in this I |
| 1:49.1 | think that the new European has always been a newspaper that bizarrely prospers on its own failure. |
| 1:57.0 | It thrives on its failure. |
| 1:59.0 | It has failed in its entire project and ironically in this echo chamber media world that we now live in |
| 2:05.3 | now that we've left Brexit or we left Europe and Brexit is achieved and the new |
