Hello and welcome to podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episode 1361.

I'm joined by Josh and Nate.

Is there pulling on traps?

It's quite all right.

It is the 24th of February, year of our law, 26.

And we are going to be discussing yet another assassination attempt on Trump,

the fool of the Lord Foy Mandelson,

and the Farage hypocrisy.
