Hello and welcome to podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 1215 on this the 24th of July.

I'm joined by Carl.

Hello.

Hello.

And today, in a stunning example to the younger lads in the office, neither of us have managed to write a description. Oh, okay, well, we're going to be talking about the police conference at Epping. Okay, then I'll do one about a dad who's had enough. And I just really hate Pedro Pascal. Oh, enough. And so I thought I'd have a bit of a rant about him later on. So good. Is this parrot going to land on me?

Am I safe?

Yes, you're safe.

All right, okay, fine. I'll ignore it then. The parrot's in a very bad mood for me. It's very intense to my mum, and I'm looking forward to it while my parents take my kids on holiday for me. And so I've got to look after the parrot. The parents normally fine with me

when I'm like, you know, at their house

over Christmas or something, right?

I'll come and sit on my shoulder.

But because, I've got to look after the parrot. The parrot's normally fine with me when I'm like, you know,

at their house over Christmas or something, right? I'll come and sit on my shoulder. But because she's not there, it's grumpy and missing her. And so it sits on this cage with its back to me and occasionally looks over its shoulder to like give me the eye. And I'm like, what, you can come over if you want it'll just turn away and it's like

alright I'm sorry you're so miserable

but yeah

yeah And I'll be like, what, you can come over if you want this, it'll just turn away, and it's like, all right, all right, I'm sorry you're so miserable.

But, yeah, so it's currently a home in the moment.

Anyway, right, should we?

Yes, by all means.

So, you've probably been following all of the recent hoo-ha around Epping, the migrant hotel, a rapy migrant, and the establishment response.

Now, what's interesting is how quiet the Labour government had been on this.

Have you noticed that?
