Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Itas for the 31st of January 2025.

Where has that month gone? I can't believe how quickly it's already gone, to be honest.

When you get middle-aged, you can say that about whole years.

Especially January and February are the worst months of the whole year. You want them to go by quickly.

That's true. I'm not going to complain because it's been very cold and rainy in Britain,

so I'm glad to see the back of it. And obviously I am joined by Stelios, the Stelios,

and Bo.

All right.

The Boehawk, the ballistic missile.

I haven't done that in ages, but I can't come up with any new ones.

Bonan the Broberian.

That one will do, yeah.

That's not mine.

It's truly cringed to come up with your own nicknames, right?

Someone on Twitter said that and I liked it, I like that.

And today we're going to be discussing how Sweden is basically a war zone, whether the AFD should be banned.

I'm imagining you're probably going to say no.

I'm going to say no, but I'm going to show all the debate and we're going to do good journalistic work, saying the arguments for and against.

Okay. And Bo is going to reminisce about five years of the post-Brexit

world, the five-year anniversary of Brexit. And we're going to talk about it and what went down

and what might happen in the future because it does leave a lot to be desired the way it was done,

doesn't it? But I'm not going to get into the commentary now.
