Summary

It's a Trash-a-Fada crossover extravaganza! We had a delightful discussion with Andy and Sean about labour organising at the end of the world, and then we venture back into the mind of Toby Young as he weighs the lives of the British public against a feather and decides if they live or die to appease the great and powerful Economy.

0:28.9

this before, but I've never been exposed to it on such a, like, long timeline.

0:32.5

And he just has, like, absolutely deranged phone ins, which, of course, at the moment are

0:36.9

even more deranged than normal.

0:39.3

Like he was inviting joggers and dog walkers to phone into his show and argue with each other

0:45.3

over who should give who more space on the pavement as part of social distancing.

1:11.1

1:16.6

forward is that we should save the lives of the people who are the most useful. Like if, you know,

1:20.7

if someone's a doctor, we should save their life first. And he's like, but now we're getting
