Summary

This week James and Toby contemplate the spiritual - from the game of "sermon bingo" James and his family played when they went to church this Sunday (betting on which progressive talking points the vicar would include in the service) to Justin Welby’s pledge to set aside £100 million for the Church of England’s reparations fund and that leads to the question as to why the Anglican Church was been captured by the woke cult (James thinks it’s the work of the devil).

Speaking of reparations, we also talk about the recent story about the founder of The Guardian and his links to the slave trade and the paper's subsequent attempt to deflect attention from this story by exposing the Royal Family’s links to the slave trade.

In other news, Toby crows about the derailment of the Worker Protection Bill, for which the Free Speech Union deserves some credit.

In Culture Corner, Moonage Daydream (Available for rent on Amazon Prime) Sharper (AppleTV+), The White Lotus 2 and Beef (Netflix).

Opening sound this week is BBC Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell talking about the Royal Family slavery study.
