Summary

Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan are back to bombard you with common sense as the Thought Police returns. 

They discuss: Deal in Kent, having to wear masks upon the lifting of restrictions, the enormity of the Martin Bashir story, Lord Hall and the BBC self-preservation society, Dominic Cummings' mad ramblings, who will really be paying for Boris and Carrie's wedding, why corporate accounts are ruining the restaurant trade, Max Mosley, the deceitfulness of certain organisations who claim to be non-political, Huw Edwards, the BBC halo, Matt Hancock's latest drivel, personal experiences of Southall, and Fulham's nightmare season finally coming to an end. They are the Thought Police and they are the only real public service broadcasters. 

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