Hello and today I'm joined by Carl and Helen Dale.

And today we're going to be talking about the fact that together we can defeat the far right finally.

The criminal mind and the great realignment in American politics.

So mine is definitely going to be fun if nothing else actually maybe not but...

Well mine's some good news for Americans.

Oh there we are. Bad news for Brits.

We'll have some fun.

I don't know if Helen you wish to introduce yourself

to anyone who may be new.

Oh, right, okay.

I, um, no, I bounce around the place and talk to lots of different outlets.

Lotus Eaters is one of them.

And I'm halfway through my fourth book now.

I've written three novels, but this one's non-fiction.

I'm senior writer from Law and Liberty, which is a US magazine, mainly legally focused,

that is owned by Liberty Fund, a big American think tank.

And my background is in legal practice and I'm one of the relatively unusual people

who's formerly qualified and also has practitioner experience in both

Scott's law and in Scotland and the law of England in Wales and in England. So I

tend to get asked to talk about Scotland quite a lot.

To have you back.

Anyway, I suppose we have no announcements, so it's just news time.
