Summary
Today they discuss: getting people back to work, shrugging off COVID concerns in order to return to reality, the media obsession with the troubles in India, non-reporting of the anti-lockdown march, whether Boris is really in trouble due to interior decor-gate (or Carrie Antoinette-gate), why redecoration is so expensive, the role of the Prime Minister, the 'Let the bodies pile up' allegations against the PM, Carrie's political brain, the world's worst Oscars ceremony, sanctimonious awards dos, Ricky Gervais, the loss of fun within the showbiz industry, theatrical wokeness, people actually having fun, and football's social media boycott. It's all the opinions you can handle and then a few more, it's the Thought Police.
