Hello and welcome to podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episode 1-333 on Thursday the 15th of January,

the year of our Lord, 2026. And I'm joined by Farras and guest Nate. Hello, gentlemen.

Again. All right. Now we are aware that Robert Jenrick has apparently

been booted out of the Tories because he was

about to defect but we haven't got time to write a segment

on that so we're not going to talk about that

instead we are going to talk about how

Australia is actually even more of a

dystopia than Britain it just has nicer weather so we don't

realize that's you isn't it for Yes. Then I've got a good news segment for you. Women are having their rights taken away. And Nate has got something about the Chegos Islands. Yeah, a bit of an update. Bit of a drama. Bit of an update, yeah. Oh, and also, um, by island. There we go. By Islander and you actually kind of need to get on with it if you are, because we've sold a lot, and it's like week one.

And we're probably going to run out a lot sooner than we normally do.

So bear that in mind.

And with that, over to Neighbors.

Yes.

People were...

Little concentration camps they built.

because you weren't allowed to go anywhere.

And if you did go anywhere, you might get beaten by the police every once in a while
