Good afternoon and welcome back to the Independent Republican Mike Graham right here on Talk TV. We've got plenty to do, plenty of time to talk about it as well. We've got an hour to go until Leon Collins takes over just before one o'clock.

Coming up in this hour, Rod Liddle joins us. He's back from his holes and he's full of the joys of spring, or is it summer? Or is it possibly autumn? I'm not quite sure. The weather looks all right actually out there. As I peer out across the London sky, there's

blue sky, some fluffy white clouds, it's not raining, and it is positively summery, I'd have to say.

I mean, why go anywhere? In fact, try and go anywhere, because there's hardly any trains. The roads are all absolutely clogged. There's some new strikes coming at Gatwick,

which are going to mean it's very, very difficult to go anywhere by plane. Obviously, the dinghies

only go one way these days, so you can only go to France and come back. You can't actually

get to France by any other means. So anyway, you get what I mean, don't you? O344-49-1,000.

We've got to talk to Rod about a great many things, including the wokeists,

whose latest attack on various things, includes the Tudor ship, the Mary Rose,

which sank, of course, in Solent back in 1545.

Some of the people who are curators of a museum,

which houses quite a lot of its stuff,

have decided that they've looked through a queer lens,

whatever that means,

and decided that some of the stuff that's been found on the ship,

has some connection with the LGBTIQI Plus brigade.

Who can say, Rod, a very good afternoon to you.

Good afternoon to you, mate. mate one of the one of the

funniest stories i've seen this week and and i think you know uh i don't know why they

call them curators they're just some gadgets who look after a boat yes you know i mean i've met

people as you may have done in this business who talk about curating radio shows

and I'm going, sorry, what?
