Summary

As Independence Day (from the Tories) looms, Jemma and Marina have gone bumper with this extra long Trawl. They start with a footy update and then dive into the post match analysis of... Glastonbury. Why do all the right-wing bell-ends get so triggered by it? What is it about the musical, magical, cultural playground that annoys them so much? 

Then, it's into politics we go with a quick round of 'what are the Tories lying about now?' and a look at the desperate lengths The Telegraph are going to to persuade you that Labour equals Armageddon. 


Still, if you think things here are bad, wait till you hear the clips of Biden and Trump trying to string sentences together, It's disturbing to say the least. 


And, with one day to go before we get to place our crosses in the ballot box, the rest of the ep is dedicated to remembering why it's s important we don't feel complacent, that we vote and that we make our vote count. 


Good luck Trawlers - can't wait to meet again soon for all the best takes, for a look back and indeed a look forward.

Yeah, we say them pretty much every day, every night before bed.

0:02.7

And yeah, they really mean a lot.

0:04.1

So if everyone can raise it, I'd ask them those three little words.

0:07.3

Fuck the Tories.

0:13.5

Hello, and welcome to The Troll, where we scroll through social media so you don't have to.

0:18.2

I'm Marina Perkis.

0:19.5

And I'm Gemma Forte, and Bumpertrawl is the last

0:23.4

one we'll be recording before hopefully we get a change of government. So with a bit of luck,

0:31.1

the next time we trawl will have had the result that this country so desperately needs,

0:36.1

i.e. Tory obliteration. But there is a lot to cover

0:40.6

rubbing her knees. There is. And then our knees. First up, England are through to the quarterfinals

0:47.3

of the Euros. But again, it wasn't quite the performance I think we were all hoping for.

0:53.6

ITV reported that Gareth Southgate

0:55.5

is his own harshest critic and I thought, who's clearly not been on the socials, has he?

1:02.6

Paddy Power tweeted, Southgate taking the top scorer in Germany, the player of the season from

1:08.6

England and Spain and molding a team that resembles

1:11.6

Derby 2007 and 8, is a sensational achievement in fairness.

1:16.8

England have got Switzerland next who are looking pretty decent, and they knocked out Italy,

1:20.5

of course, so it could be a tough match for England. But we like to stay positive here at the

1:25.7

trawl. We're always looking for that silver lining.

1:29.3

And I think we found one. John O'Farrell, the writer, wrote, this is all going according to plan.

1:34.9

England limped through to the quarterfinals, but with no feel-good factor to help the Tories.
